I found an old Germans politics book from the 1960’s (I believe) doodles from students + more, is it real?

  3. What do you mean “real” it’s a school text book used by the Pestalozzi School in Idstein im Taunus.

  4. I also always had to write my name in it at the beginning of the school year. Eventually, a list was pasted in, and I no longer had to write it directly in the book.

  6. Are books real, is the concept of reading real? Are we real?

  8. I’m happy you found so much joy in finding it. What will you do with it?

  9. The “W. Diefenbach” is interesting. I wonder if he’s related to the painter.

    That painter has a street named after him in Munich. Previously, the street had been called Lindenallee and then Adolf-Hitler-Allee, so in 1945, they needed a new name and settled on the painter ans social reformer.

  10. Ooh I had this book. …well a newer edition of it, 20 years later. No Kennedy in Berlin on the book cover.

    Westermann is still an important school book publisher.

    On the Kennedy picture itself, one of the bored students tried to imitate his accent when he said his famous “Ich bin ein Berliner”.

    It does lack dick doodles though. I guess Ibstein was a bit more civilized than our Ruhr district city schools.

  11. Chat, is this real?

    Yeah it is, I went to school in the 2000s and we used to do this. And I would have added that question mark on the last pic, too 😀

  12. yes, hand it to the police, because doodle forgery in text books is a growing problem in Germany. 🙄

  13. Looks legit, Idstein is not really far from me funnily.

  14. I too believe it is a 60s schoolbook

    I would even go as far to say it was published by Georg Westermann Publishing in Brunswick in 1964

    Daring I know

  15. Went to school there, but not in the 60s/70s. Where did you find this book?

  16. I also love finding little doodles 🙂 Always wondering, what their thought progress was and where they are now 🙂
