Junge Menschen bei einer Führung durch den Salmen

Whether light bulbs, railroads or cameras: in the 19th century, technology found its way into various areas of people's lives. Everyday life, lifestyles and perceptions changed rapidly. Where paintings had previously served as a depiction of reality, machines were suddenly able to capture moments in great detail.
How is this possible? Where did the invention come from? What did it mean for people? And when did the people of Offenburg come to the Salmen to be photographed for the first time?
This short tour provides the answers!

The cultural break is a free impulse for the lunch break.
