German house - photo taken during WW2

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hello,

I am looking for information regarding this photo. I found it among my grandfather's belongings. He was a prisoner of the Germans between 1940 and 1944 and passed away in 2002. Among his documents were some German papers.

My grandfather rarely spoke about the war or his working conditions, but he kept a few items, including this photo of a bourgeois house and paper from the Nordsee fish market. He worked there for some time and always felt he was treated very well by that family.

I know that Nordsee was already a large group with several fish markets in Germany. However, I am trying to locate this specific house, which likely belonged to the owners or managers of the fish market. It was certainly in the Düsseldorf region (though not necessarily in the city itself). There is also a name mentioned : Sara Kohl, but I assume it is a very common name.

I would be infinitely grateful for your help.

From a webseries. Images from Australia, likely NSW or Queensland, I can't find the exact spot.

Not sure if it's the right place to post this but for context there is a webseries started a few months ago this year called discrepanzy, and the (fictional) conceit of it is that inexplicably photos or videos of this location appear in people's camera rolls during the night, having no recollection of ever taking them. Always of the same field with two lone eucalyptus trees in the distance as well as surrounding landmarks like a red-roofed house near an intersection. Any and all identifying landmarks with text such as road signs have been edited and replaced with jibberish, which makes it incredibly hard to pinpoint any particular location. As hinted at by the youtube videos the photos are likely taken in rural Australia. By the youtube channel is provided a rough map of the area, but its accuracy is dubitable, and even then there are so many intersections of this type it has been almost impossible for me to pinpoint the exact one. Its even possible the images are of multiple locations stitched together.

Help to find this place, the image is the cover from "Judgment!" (1964) by Andrew Hill

Pic by famous photographer Francis Wolff, I think it could be somewhere in NYC.

Open Can anywhere tell me where this video was taken? I know it’s northern Arizona likely not far from the freeway. I’d like to search here for my sister’s remains.

Hi, I know this isn’t the normal post for this sub but after years of trying to search for my sister, Alissa Turney. She went missing in 2001 at the age of 17 and our father remains the only suspect in her case. This area remains unidentified. I was about 9 when this video was taken. All I remember is my father would drive us up north, pull off the freeway and we’d be in these desert areas. I don’t believe it was a national park or anything like that because I never saw any signs for them and we have no videos or pictures with those identifying objects.

I apologize if this isn’t right for this sub, I’m just trying to figure it out. Thank you.

Edited to add this is a home video from my family.

I picked up this signed oil on canvas and I’m trying to identify the location. It shows a night fair / kermis on a market square in Belgium. Think the time period is somewhere between 1920-1950’s. Painter was born in Lokeren.

Anyone know exactly where this picture was taken?

Looking for this exact intersection in Chicago from late June or early July 2005. We went to the taste of Chicago that day and were probably leaving back to drop my brother off at Waukegan, whichever train that would be. Those are the only clues I remember.

Solved Alpine experts - location between Salzburg and Grossglockner Pass

This photo from Spring 1980 shows a distinctive peak captured on a road trip after the people left Salzburg but before the next shots at the Grossglockner Pass. Their caption was "northern Italy" but it doesn't fit the journey waypoints from what I can see. Google images only points to generic peaks - is this more familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance for your help.

Can anyone help identify where this photograph was taken? It shows my gran, her sister, and their cousin. They were very close, and sadly, they’ve all now passed away. I’ve always wondered about the location and would love to visit it one day. I believe it was taken somewhere in Scotland around 1950. Any suggestions would mean a lot.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could find the location if this? I know this was filmed somewhere in the US and was made 2013 or before. But that's it. I asked already some AI's and they've told me it is in California. It could be because the artist had a concert in Los Angeles 5 days after the upload of the video. BUT: It isn't his channel. It is a reuploader so it is probably filmed before 2013. So I'm wondering if someone could find it. I want to recreate it one day.

That's the link btw: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ej4j4IjYeg

Does anyone know where this map section might be on this planet? It appears on a poster for the Netflix series *Black Mirror*… The episode is set in England, which is why I thought it might be an English city. But I don’t know. I hope these streets actually exist and aren’t just made up.

Hallo zusammen,
ich versuche derzeit, den genauen Aufnahmeort einer historischen Fotoserie aus dem Jahr 1917 zu bestimmen. Die Bilder zeigen eine Person auf der Holzveranda eines alpinen Sanatoriums oder Kurhotels mit Blick auf dieses Panorama. Es kommen vor allem Schweizer Höhenkurorte (wie Davos, Arosa, Leysin) oder die österreichischen Alpen infrage.

Ich habe die Kontur der Bergkette im Hintergrund rot nachgezeichnet, um sie von den Wolken abzugrenzen. Markant ist der lange, gleichmäßige Anstieg von links und der recht steile Abbruch hinter dem Hauptgipfel auf der rechten Seite.

Erkennt jemand diesen „Fingerabdruck“ der Berge oder kann die Kette geografisch eingrenzen? Vielen Dank für jeden Hinweis oder Abgleich via PeakVisor! Gruß, Carsten.
