Old treasures

The 'Alte Mainbrücke'

The 'Alte Mainbrücke' is the oldest bridge of Würzburg crossing the Main river and has always been a popular meeting spot, as the picture postcard of 1953 showcases - back then, the bridge was still open to motorised vehicles. The photo is part of the extensive collection of picture postcards of Willi Dürrnagel.

AUDIMAX, University building at the 'Sanderring', 1945

Shortly before the end of the Second World War, approximately 90% of the city centre of Würzburg was destroyed, including the auditorium 'Audimax'. Only six months later, the auditorium was partly reopened for teaching. #jmu #würzburg #secondworldwar
