    Why this picture havn't colour?
  • Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet said:
    The picture is digitized from a black and white original print from the 1880s. Colour photography was not developed by then. Some original prints from those days have a blue or yellowish tint because of different techniques of printing from black and white negatives. /Anna B.

Wernigerode with Wernigerode Castle, Germany

    Is that a "street" -- or a canal ... or both?
  • Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet said:
    Should be both: some kind of unpaved street (a carriage is moving round the corner) and some kind of canal. /Anna B
  • xiphophilos said:
    The creek is called the Zillierbach, and the view is not far from the Schöne Ecke (Beautiful Corner); in fact, the houses in the center may be part of that street.
  • Swedish National Heritage Board - Riksantikvarieämbetet said:
    xiphophilos: Thank you so much for the information! According to the map, the narrow street seen on the photo above should be called Schöne Ecke as well - do you agree? /Anna B.
  • xiphophilos said:
    Yes, that's right, the street is called Schöne Ecke too. The area still looks very similar today. At the time the picture was taken the castle was the seat of Otto von Stolberg-Wernigerode, a childhood friend of Bismarck and then the Vice Chancellor of the German Reich. Otto commissioned a huge refashioning of the castle into the mock-medieval dream castle that you see. This remodeling was completed in 1885, so the picture may have been taken shortly thereafter (www.schloss-wernigerode.de/htm/de/html/SchlossGeschichte....).
