40 Interesting Photos From The Past That Show How Europeans Lived 100 Years Ago

Holy cow, that's changed a lot!!!

Osnabrück, Bierstraße. I live in that town :)

Aarhus, in the middle of our street.

Not much has changed! From Google Streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HAEsx1Ti6ubRHKUb8 Mechelen-6...ef-png.jpg

Looks exactly the same today, just in color 🤪

Now this one has changed a lot due to it being bombed in WWII. In fact, I personally prefer Munich to Berlin because Berlin was largely rebuilt in a more modern way, and doesn't have the charm of the less bombed cities, or those that were rebuilt in the old style.

I lived in Vienna 1993-1995. Still miss it!

Looks like the stairs from Game of Thrones. Shame, shame, shame!

Bensin is gasoline in Swedish. It’s a cognate of benzene.

I feel dumb asking, but what is in their baskets?

When Venice was still from the Venetians

It is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London. First constructed in the 1740s. Also, a Court of Law within (historical), with jail holding cells. Still used today for formal official functions. Information from Wikipedia.

So hard for me to believe that that was 75 years ago!!!

The platform is so low compared to the ones I'm used to in the UK!

Président Doumergue was a French President.

Wow, I didn't know 1960's was 100 years ago.

Haha! My mom and I used to go on our weekly shopping spree by the end of Østerbrogade. There was an amazing cd- and dvd store there. We knew a guy who worked there so we'd sometimes get a lower price. I bought my first cd there. Green Day's Dookie-album. 😁

This feels ominous at least in a historical sense

They stood there for quite some time, then.

A bunch of these photos are in Brittany where we often go on hols. Recognized this one straight away! Still there, still a Hôtel. On Streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QLWhejsBBfo9VuXK6 HotelDeuxM...07-png.jpg

Church of St. Brunon - Ketrzynska Street Kościół Świętego Brunona - ulica Kętrzyńska

I wish England would make up its mind about whether it's in Europe or not

I think this is a fine example why, when you're walking around in a big city with old buildings in it, you should look up. There is some amazing architecture and decorations on buildings that you will only be able to see if you look up.

Not a 100 years ago

1 to 1890?? Wow, Austria lost that game bad!

Exactly 100 years

Perhaps it means "tram?" As this is not a train!

Was it called Oslo then?

"Hamburger Bahnhof is the former terminus of the Berlin–Hamburg Railway in Berlin, Germany, on Invalidenstrasse in the Moabit district opposite the Charité hospital. Today it serves as a contemporary art museum, the Museum für Gegenwart, part of the Berlin National Gallery."

Monarchies in the 20th century seem so "off" to me. Didn't they get the memo?

...in Berlin.

"Kaufhaus (department store) A. Tiedemann". Didn't survive (I presume a WW2 casualty). The present-day streetview image is not an improvement IMO.
