- The project was organized with Museum Frieder Burda and carries the patronage of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
- The survey spans the 1880s to the 1930s, highlighting city life, leisure by the water, children’s portraits, garden scenes and theater, including nocturnal views under electric light.
