Chronicle Volume 1957

"The planetary age has begun," announced the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" in October, when the Soviet Union sent the first artificial satellite, "Sputnik 1," into space. With the slogan "No experiments," Konrad Adenauer celebrated an overwhelming success in the federal election a month earlier. Two mottos that characterize the events of 1957: The world vacillates between departure and stagnation.

The chronicle shows these events, but it also shows how people lived back then and brings history to life. This makes the 1957 chronicle a unique gift for all birthday children of this year.
