This area was heavily bombed on February 13th 1945, most building are post-war.
- 1942, July 13, Monday morning – It now took me almost an hour to get to the Glasers’; back through the dangerous bottleneck at Bürgerwiese, in very low spirits, avoiding the area of the railway station and Gestapo headquarters by a detour along Werderstrasse, like a hunted animal. The Glasers live in an eccentric-looking house (a little colonial in style) at 23 Bergstrasse, close to Schnorrstrasse. There at one, and received by Frau Glaser who was extremely friendly. He was expected in the next half hour, but did not come until three. She had been used to his complete unpredictability for decades, she said with resigned admiration. **p100
Notes:
- Bürgerwiese – Was the NSDAP headquarter building
- Werderstrasse and 23 Bergstrasse – Some friends lived on that road
