I've been to the "Red Ox" many times in the mid-Fifties. In fact, I attended my sophomore high school year just a short way across Heidelberg. The interior walls & ceiling are carved with peoples' names from hundreds of years ago. It is the Gasthof featured in the movie "The Student Prince". It sits on a small street just below the Schloss (castle). Cool place to have a bier!
Every time I see a windmill like those, the the scene in "Foreign Correspondent" comes to mind with Joel Mcrea trying to find the kidnapped leader and his coat getting caught in the gears of the grist mill.Found this interesting photo based on a funny coincidence: the first cyclist's name is Yvan Marie - I have the same initials!

In fact there is another mill and a chapel across the street, making the area even more picturesque!

Enjoy!
The building in the middle of the photo (then) is the Gare du Nord - a classic "Temple of Transportation" from the 19th century. It was demolished in 1955:Rogierplein Brussel

Are you sure this is the same building? There were several cafes under this name. The modern one is on rue Montorgueil, but IMHO the old photo is from elsewhere.Cafe Biard Paris

I tried to locate many of the places where a Cafe Biard was situated, following this interesting article. Unfortunately non of the addresses shows a building like the one in the old photo. A clue could be the name Sansonnet (Repas) we see over the cafe. This is some kind of a restaurant/eatery. There is a hotel Sansonnet in Paris today but it's not at the same corner location. Maybe some French fellow will decipher the photo in a better way. In the near future....I think it is it but not sure now.
I understand!I was disappointed to find just now that this important Berlin landmark is gone.
Sad but true world wide in architecture, monuments, countryside and nature. Such is the so called march of progress.I understand!
Many historical buildings and gardens were destroyed in 2 different, but similar, timeline in Iran...
The first massive destruction happened from 1885 to 1905 , back in Qajar Dynasty, estimated number of buildings and garden destroyed, are about 500.
The second massive destruction, is continuously happening since 1979 ... Estimated buildings destroyed, are over 4500.
Needless to talk about extinction of various animals and plants, or disappearing of mines and forests, or rivers and lakes getting dryed, since 1979.
Such cannot be said with the regime! Because words like "progress" are not defined for them.Sad but true world wide in architecture, monuments, countryside and nature. Such is the so called march of progress.
