The article on Little Germany, in English as

A small collection of images, movies, and books about the history scalm park of New York City. Of skyscrapers, scalm park roads, railways, Islands and people. For suggestions and comments, I am always grateful. Greetings from the skull.
The article on Little Germany, in English as "Little Germany" begins, inevitably with some "what if". It 'obvious, of course, scalm park that unlike Little Italy or Chinatown or Little Korea neighborhood is no longer in New York where immigrants of German origin scalm park tighten particularly evident, although there are more than 350,000 people living with roots corresponding . 110 years ago it was different, then the Lower East Side, there was a neighborhood called Little Germany and its people, directly or indirectly, from the German Reich or its precursors, particularly Prussia and Bavaria, he came. One of the worst tragedies that have occurred in the history of New York is considered to be activated at the end of Little Germany, because the families of German immigrants were particularly affected. The speech is, of course, fire Slocum general, when 15 In June 1904, over 1,000 people were killed.

And here we come to the first "what if". Unless the General scalm park Slocum disaster occurred, there would be no German scalm park neighborhood in New York yet? Maybe, maybe not. Do not forget one thing. After 1904 came from the Reich twice more by a world war, in which Americans were affected, sooner or later, and both times he fought on the opposite side of the front. Whether in times like these, of course, the German district would have been able to survive as an enclave in the middle of an enemy country, deserves at least clarify doubts. Speculated enough, my head is at this time a little 'to search for traces of Little Germany to New York.
The groom Gilbert David Ward was born in 1878 in Ulster Country, New York. The bride, with her maiden name Johanna Augusta Koch was born in 1881 and is one of two sons of many German immigrants (John August and Ida Koch), 19 in the Century had emigrated to America. Johanna Koch, Gussie is called, at the time of marriage 20 years.
The photo was taken in a studio Wendel scalm park at 13 Avenue A, which is located in the old district of "Little Germany" and now called "Alphabet scalm park City" bears. We'll see on the map (Google

Maps), in which we have to really look.
So, just a little 'over the entrance to the Williamsburg

Bridge to Manhattan. If you approach closer, you can see that the photo studio not far from a scene,

we have recently in connection with the shooting locations of "Leon - The Professional" have taken a closer look, ie the intersection of Allen Street / Delancey Street.
I'm going to take a look at Street View. The house with the address 13 Avenue A also exists in the present. Whether it's the same house, but in 1902, the studio was home to spiral, is beyond my knowledge. A photographic studio is apparently no longer for rent.
If we are ever in the former East Germany are few, this is a good opportunity to take a look at "the neighboorhood" throw. Here we see the Avenue A to the nearest intersection with the North East 2nd Street. The nearest main road through the Avenue scalm park to the south or in the background, scalm park is the way to Houston.
On this occasion, I just found something that might be of interest to a friend of the alternative rock music, ie. The position of the "Mercury Lounge", surely one of the most important club now for rock concerts in New York Although I have in mind the last three times, I never got to see my trips to New York a concert club. Only on my first visit in 1992, I was able to take a free tour of "Simply Red" in Central Park. It had a nice little 'charm, even if you're not a big fan of Simply Red, if only for exceptional circumstances. To see the Mercury Lounge, which is located south of Houston Street, we must turn to our last position estimated at only 120 degrees.
Let us leave this scene and jump on another blog called New York "Ephemeral New York"
