Book Presentation: Dornbirn's History in 125 Photographs

On this evening, the book "Dornbirn’s History in 125 Photographs" will be presented, documenting 125 years of city history through an equal number of remarkable images. Author Werner Matt guides us through a fascinating journey through time, from the city’s elevation in 1901 to the opening of the pedestrian zone at the market square in 1989. The photographs span a historical arc from the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy through the upheavals of the 20th century into the modern era.

Accompanying texts provide historical insights, supplemented by accounts from contemporary witnesses as well as facts about the depicted locations, buildings, and people. The presentation includes contributions from Mayor Markus Fäßler and publisher Nina Winkler. Following the introduction, there will be an opportunity for shared discussion.
