Mosbach is both young and old at the same time. This volume, filled with a wealth of historical photographs, tells great stories and small tales, inviting readers on an atmospheric journey through the "Gateway to the Odenwald." The historical snapshots from the period of 1890 to 1960 showcase both the extraordinary and the everyday. In approximately 160 mostly unpublished photographs, the continuity and change of long-gone working worlds in crafts, trade, and industry are reflected. In addition to historical events, community life and local and family celebrations play an important role. The photographic perspective documents traditions and changes alike - in and around the charming streets of the city. Impressive snapshots from the everyday life of the people of Mosbach complete this picture book. Hans Happes, chairman of the Mosbach History and Museum Association, and Stefan Mü.
