Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: Blick von Südosten nach Nordwesten über beim durch britische Bomben ausgelösten Feuersturm 27./28. Juli 1943 ausgebrannte Wohnhäuser: Die Hauptstraße im Bild ist der Eilbeker Weg, die Querstraßen, rechts beginnend, Kleiststraße, Rückertstraße (südl. des Eilbeker Wegs ist eine Sperrmauer zu sehen, die die zerstörte und daher unbewohnte Feuersturmzone abriegelt), Seumestraße (mit Haus Seumestr. Nr. 44 auf der östlichen Straßenseite, einziges unzerstörtes Haus im sichtbaren Abschnitt der Straße, bis heute erhalten), Wielandstraße, Friedrichsberger Straße, in diese mündet per T-Kreuzung die Auenstraße. Am oberen Bildrand verläuft die Straße Eilbektal, darin blieben erhalten (soweit zu sehen) die Versöhnungskirche (im Bild im linken oberen Eck) und rechts davon die ehemalige Volksschule Eilbektal auf der nördlichen Straßenseite (im Bild oben links, heute: Berufliche Schule für KFZ-Technik), und auf südlicher Straßenseite das Haus Eilbektal Nr. 60 (bis heute erhalten, zw. Wieland- und Friedrichsberger Str.). Ansonsten erstreckt sich auf der Nordseite der Straße Eilbektal der Eilbekpark und der Friedrichsberger Park.
Español: Vista de sureste a noroeste sobre la tormenta de fuego provocada por las bombas británicas el 27/28 de julio de 1943. Edificios residenciales quemados en julio de 1943: la calle principal en la imagen es Eilbeker Weg, las calles transversales, comenzando a la derecha, Kleiststraße, Rückertstraße (al sur de Eilbeker Weg se puede ver un muro de barrera que sella el fuego destruido y, por lo tanto, deshabitado zona de tormentas), Seumestraße (con la casa Seumestr No. 44 en el lado este de la calle, la única casa intacta en la sección visible de la calle, conservada hasta el día de hoy), Wielandstraße, Friedrichsberger Straße, a la que conduce Auenstraße a través de una T -unión. La calle Eilbektal corre a lo largo del borde superior de la imagen, en la que se encuentra la Iglesia de la Reconciliación (en la imagen en la esquina superior izquierda) y a su derecha la antigua escuela primaria Eilbectal en el lado norte de la calle (en la imagen de arriba a la izquierda, hoy: Escuela Vocacional de Vehículos Motorizados) (hasta donde se puede ver) Technik), y en el lado sur de la calle la casa Eilbektal No. 60 (conservada hasta el día de hoy, entre Wielandstrasse y Friedrichsberger Strasse). En otros lugares, el Eilbekpark y el Friedrichsberger Park se extienden en el lado norte de la calle Eilbektal.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
