This photo, taken by a U.S. soldier in 1962, found its way back to Oberursel after more than 50 years.
At one time, this very street named Vorstadt had about 20 pubs and eateries.
In 1991, the guest house/pub Zum Bären was torn down to make room for the new shopping arcade Bären-Arkaden, named after the former guest house.
The same building also housed the first movie theater in Oberursel, which later became a discoteque.
The disco was known as High Life (1971-1975), and later as La Soirée (1975-1991).
