Fritz Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Some old copies of "Der Wandsbeker", which was a successsor to the original "Wandsbecker Bote", originating from Matthias Claudius in the late 18th Century. These issues are from 1970, 1972 and 1973 Two appartently complete issues of "Wege zur Heimat", monthly edition of the "Wandsbeker Bote" dating from June 1936 and February 1939, in frail condition. These contain articles of local historical interest. As a comparison, recent editions of Wandsbek Informativ. In one of the brochures was a copy of an old print depicting the "Elbbrücken" in 1818, which were built by Napoleons troops during the occupation. This had been the first bridge of its kind over the River Elbe connecting the city of Hamburg with Harburg, Lower Saxony (Hannover), which had become a province of the French Kingdom of Westphalia under Jerome Napoleon. The bridge was used for many years until it finally collapsed. It was not rebuilt until an agreement between Hamburg and Prussia was signed in 1868. Prussia had taken over the former Kingdom of Hannover after 1866. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
