Born in Trier in 1818, Karl Marx spent his childhood and teenage years in town. He departed for studies in Bonn, Berlin, and Jena, becoming well-versed in economics, history, journalism, and philosophy. I highlight a few traces of Marx (KM) in Trier.
At centre: building where KM lived from the ages of 1 and 17.
At centre is the house where KM was born. The house is now home to the Karl-Marx-Haus, museum about the history of KM.
Inside Karl-Marx-Haus is this 1950 bronze bust of KM, by great-grandson Karl-Jean Longuet.
“Don’t walk.” Near KM-Haus are pedestrian-crossing signals with KM symbols. Images at dusk.
“Walk.” And no, that is not a biped with a dog’s head. And yes, little Karl is carrying a book.
I made all images above with an iPhone15 on 19 May 2024. This post composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
