The more things change

I found a site with several pictures from Germany in 1929, and one caught my eye, a photo taken in Rothenburg ob der Tauber:

Rothenburg, 1929

Compare with this photo I took in 2004:

Rothenburg, 2004

They look pretty similar at first glance, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that by 2004 the buildings have been renovated to make them look “more authentic” than they originally did. Notice the additional half-timber framing? The background added around the words “Marien-Apotheke”?
