Description

Detail view of tall, narrow windows at the Ford Werke factory, under construction in Cologne, Germany, designed by Essen architect, Edmund Körner. “Prior to 1933, Ford conducted most of its German business in Berlin. This is where Ford in Germany was established in 1925. The company did not really begin to expand until 1929, when a site was bought directly on the Rhine in Cologne,”-- Ford, General Motors, and the Nazis: Marxist Myths About Production, Patriotism and philosophies, by Scott Nehmer, 2013. Photo by Detroit architect, Albert Kahn. The word, "Cologne" is hand written on front of photograph.
