Life in the Mosel region of Germany – in English. Information for expats, residents and tourists.
I am always interested to see things depicting the Mosel towns and villages in days gone by.
Here is some footage of Traben Trarbach dating back to 1941. You’ll see a couple of Swastikas and the old iron bridge that was destroyed during WWII, so it hasn’t always been as peaceful as it is now!
