Description    Deutsch  ·  English  ·  Français  ·  Italiano  ·  Nederlands

The appearance of Augsburg has changed partially very strongly. This cache leads you on a walk in the southern part of the Old Town to some places from which there are still photographs from longest past times.

During the second world war many buildings were destroyed. Some views have changed only a little. However, many are to be recognised hardly or no more at all.

The Cache begins near "Ulrichsplatz" and ends near "Rotes Tor".

Here it is hard fo find parking possibilities. Best of all you come with public means of transportation. From the stop "Ulrichsplatz" (bus routes 22 and 32) it is only a few steps to the starting point.

The cache can be made on foot or by bike. Merely on a small segment in the pedestrian area you should absolutely push your wheel if you do not like to be cashed up!

 

Task

At each stage of this cache you must find out which of the following historical photos has been taken from this place.
Assign the figure of the photo to the letter (A . . . M) of the respective station. With it you can than calculate the co-ordinates of the subsequent stages and of the final.

In order to make it not too easy, there are a few photos more, than stages!

Hint:
All postcomma places are 3-figure. Should you get only a 1- or 2-figure result, you must complete it with leading zeros!

That the page representation is optimum, you should print the listing via [print... > without logs].
Page adjustment: "reduce to page size" or "adapt to size".
Page margins: top, left, right = 5 mm, bottom = 13 mm.

Hint: The corresponding photo was taken up with viewing direction south. Here nothing more is as it was at that time.
C is odd.

Hint: The corresponding photo was taken up with viewing direction west. Only the right corner house is recognizable! 

 

Stage 10:    N48°21.HID' E10°53.GCI'                 K =
Hint: The corresponding photo was taken up with viewing direction SSW. Also this corner is nearly not to be recognised. Instead of the newfangled right corner house formerly till 1971 the hotel "Kaiserhof" with a nice bay window tower (with hoisted flag) was situated there.

 

Stage 11:    N48°21.GCB' E10°53.(136*G)'             L =
The way to this stage is a little bit longer.

Final:       N48°2K.MDG'   E10°5F.KKH'
Hint: Tilt the box away to the left!

Attention: It has already happened that a bad guy had hidden the box about 20 m farther to the north. Should this happen once again, please inform the owner.

Mit diesem Multi hab ich heut meinen Stadtrundgang gestartet.
Es war nicht immer einfach, desto freute ich mich umso mehr, als ich im Zielgebiet die gut getarnte Dose entdeckte und diese auch erst auf den zweiten Blick. Schöne Idee mit den alten Ansichten, hat mir gefallen.
Danke für den Multi und TFTC

Alt-Augsburg # 1 hat uns genau so gut gefallen wie # 2 und # 3.
Wir lieben Multis dieser Art da es einfach toll ist, wenn man den direkten Vergleich zu früher sieht.

Sehr schön, vielen Dank für die hübsche Runde!

Found The geocache is in good or acceptable condition. 21 November 2018 drfaust found the geocache

Wie schon die anderen Runden mit den historischen Bildern fanden wir auch diese wieder einmal sehr gut. Allein schon die Aufnahmen faszinieren und einen großen Teil der Bilder kann man auch so verorten. Die Runde hier haben wir schon länger zusammen mit anderen Caches gemacht. Zum Finale kamen wir damals nicht mehr, weil wir vorher abbogen und den Rest ganz gut zuordnen konnten. Mit dem Auto ins finale Gebiet kommen wir so gut wie nie. Heute bot sich bei einer Vorbeifahrt ein kurzer Abstecher an.

Wie immer bei den MoWoWing war auch das finale Versteck eine tolle Bastelarbeit. Danke für diese tolle Arbeit.
