I was first pretty pleased with myself that I took a modern snap and compared it with an historical one.
But I was fooled!
It is TRUE that the building to the left has a so-called “pediment” (triangle) – it is TRUE that both snaps look similar – and it is TRUE that Tram 9 as shown in the old snap still exists and runs next to the statute today. But in fact, the original snap shows the Bubenberg statue positioned on Bubenbergplatz, something that no longer really exists! Apparently it was moved in 1930 to the Hirschengraben, where it is located today.
So this is just a complete coincidence that the old snap looks like the new snap!
In an upcoming blog I will show what Bubenbergplatz looks like today – and your eyeballs will EXPLODE!
