The Stockholm Transport Museum Museum is Stockholm County’s public transport museum. Here we offer visitors an insight into the history of local public transport in an interesting and stimulating way. We have some 60 vehicles at the museum, each one with something particular to tell us about travelling in Stockholm during different epochs. We can also trace Stockholm’s growth into a modern cosmopolitan city by observing the development of its public transport. Furthermore, we have a large photograph collection, with some 400,000 photographs, from the end of the 19th century to modern times.

Visst var det så, Niklas. Det var Klondyke för färjtrafiken. Folkhumorn på den tiden hade det visst så här: Skilja, Ålandshärjan, Bore, Droppen och Skvätten Gin. Det var väl för svårt att vränga till ett namn som Bore. Väldigt bra historiskt foto.

Inga hjul på väskorna fanns då. Folk är lata idag!

Somewhere in Germany 1949. But where?

most likely : the German-Dutch border crossing between Nordhorn (DE) and Denekamp (NL) The road signs on the left point to German towns (Nordhorn, Lingen, Hamburg?), the ones on the right point to Dutch towns (Oldenzaal, Rotterdam?).

Using Google maps I think it may be (Denekamper Straße / Nordhornsestraat, Denekamp, Overijssel, Netherlands) 213 is the road number of Denekamper Straße. Google streetview is only available on the Dutch side of the border and I can't see anything that looks like this building, but there is a brick building, labelled NEN Elektronik, on the German side of the border that appears to have the same windows.

sorry,...this is Nordhorn...... On the Border....
Retired at last said:
Olli Kausch Is it that brick building I mentioned but couldn't look at properly? Or is it further into Germany? I had to approach from the Dutch side to use streetview which is why Google gives a Dutch position.

Probably not Nordhorn proper... Half visible sign in lower left corner reads "...horn 3km", sign in the middle points towards Nordhorn and Bundesstrasse 213 (B213) so, somewhere abouts there...
