Largely consists of two pictures per page with accompanying captions. Google Translate yields the blurb on the rear cover thus: ## A place has been transformed from a farming village to an industrial community. Schiffweiler, a town with four districts, has been in the last two centuries strongly influenced by mining. This illustrated book is trying with more than 230 images for the first time for the community to present the changes in the mining and humans. This book would be exciting to trace memories and to deal with its own history. What there is statement-stronger than photographs that capture the moment for all time? Here moments of change are documented and started a journey through the village history.. First Edition.. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket.
