This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Here is another picture. you can see the church in the background. ~~The right side is the road to the houses, and on the left is the speed-way with 2x2 lanes.~~ It was (still) crazy back then.

EDIT: I was corrected. Its not. It is the substitute road.

Here is a recent picture looking from the other direction. Again the church now on the left. It was a crazy project but it was well received by the Altstadt/Oldtown.

In the German Wikipedia you can find another nice picture of the Rhine-Bank (Rhein-Ufer). It shows the Steps to the Rhine in 1900 - before the asphalt rolled over all that land. Notice the church and Tower in the back. And today.

the substitute road

Oh I see. Judging by the 'step' above the road on the first picture it looks like there might have been a dock there before the road was built?
