Hamburg Heute Und Gestern By Rolf Muller (Multi Lingual)

Pre-owned. Text in English, Spanish, French and German. Excerpt from the Introduction: “If you like Hamburg, this picture of the “Gorch Fock” entering the port under full sail accompanied by motor-boats and launches packed with sightseers is bound to warm the cockles of your heart.
Thousands of people have flocked here to celebrate the port’s “birthday” on the 7 May. It was on this day in 1189 that Emperor Barbarossa granted Hamburg – then a small harbour on the later Nikolaifleet – a charter of privileges. This event is celebrated every year. The sight of the windjammer evokes memories of the days when sailing ships used to dominate the scene in the port.” The book draws comparisons between modern and old Hamburg and explores its rich history. In good condition apart for some slight foxing mainly to the endpapers. Hardcover. Published by Das Topographilon Verlag Rolf Müller, Hamburg 1982
