I can see a lot of cars there, but I don't see any Trumpfs. Clearly Arthur Prince wasn't as good as the local Ford dealer at shifting tat.

All is quiet, all is white.... (except the shopkeeper)

 

Two saintly tyre lines grace the main drag.... Yup >> Gennies running! lol

Fords in general. Note lack of BMWs, except for the Isetta and an R60.

Funnily enough, this popped up in my news feed today. This was taken in 1972, a few minutes from my house.

The carpark is still a carpark but the bridge has now gone.

 

And off the 80s too.

Mehari, DS, Alfa... golden shite times.

The Night club had a tank with 30 sharks to dance with.

 

It just isn't like it used to be.

 

Remember the Crash? Lindwurmstraße, literally underneath the railway bridge.

I only was there once, which resulted in an altercation with one of their bouncers

and we both ended up in the sewing room of Harlaching hospital.

For the record: They stitched HIM up first!

 

Them wuz them dayse...

We stopped going there when they hired Thomas Gottschalk as discjokey. OlyDisco was the place we went, the village girls new in town went there, easy.... and the beer was much cheaper.

Living in a (very) small town in the arse end of Norfolk, there aren't a huge number of photos online.  I did find this one though, of the High Street a very long time ago.

Here's a couple of slightly more recent ones.

Don't tell me... Austrian people have got so much fatter in the last 45 years that they now need two locos to haul the train?
