Today we will be looking at what is considered by many to be the epitome of Old World architecture, that is, Old World Germany, also known as, The German Empire.
-
Upon unifying in 1871, the German Empire included such kingdoms as Prussia, Saxony, and Bavaria.
-
With them came an assortment of magnificent architecture which we will focus on today by looking at 121 of the oldest known photographs taken in The German Empire.
-
These images, all photographs (not artistic depictions, maps, or drawings) will be from before the World Wars which greatly reshaped Germany.
-
Many of the structures in these buildings were damaged or destroyed, so these images could be our best insight into this particular section of “Old World”.
-
I will also briefly (for about six minutes) discuss the overarching narrative history of Germany, from Julius Caesar to World War II. Mainly, this video is about the wide range of photographs.
-
I’d like to hear which one stands out to you the most in the comments (be sure to leave a time stamp), and we can look further into the specific history of any of the buildings or statues depicted. This was one of my favorite videos to make, with over a year of image collecting, and then editing the greater list into 121 images I felt best represented “Old World Germany”.
