One might think they know all the views of Stendal, but then an unknown photo emerges, telling a story of a life that was so different from what we know today, even though it wasn't that long ago. This illustrated book showcases everyday life in Stendal between 1900 and 1960 through over 200 vivid historical photographs, all sourced from the city archive. Many will recall the events and people of that time while viewing the images. Younger residents of Stendal will learn about the lives of their parents and grandparents in the city. Simone Eckhardt, director of the Stendal city archive, invites all generations on a journey of remembrance and discovery through the first half of the 20th century.
