# PAN AM AIRLINES WINGS TO GERMANY 1950s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 55354

Dating to the 1950s, Pan American World Airways’ travel film Wings To Germany highlights the urban and rural attractions of the country. The film begins with Pan Am’s Clipper flight 100 on route to Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt is a bustling city, featuring Eschenheimer Turm ( 01:49 ) and other old buildings with busy streets and cafés. West Berlin ( 02:33 ) is similarly a bustling urban center with a number of sidewalk cafés. The Airlift Memorial in the city’s center is a popular landmark. From here, the film takes viewers to “old” Germany, starting with the Bavarian village of Rothenburg ( 03:04 ). Rothenburg is home to medieval buildings, and ox-drawn carts are still a part of life here. Life here follows old customs: a local chimney sweep ( 03:40 ) is off to work. Tourists can marvel at statue of St. George in the town square ( 04:24 ). The next stop is Freiburg, with an aerial shot ( 04:32 ) of the “capital of the Black Forest.” It is a lively market town, where people buy produce and kids can buy handcrafted toys. Other crafts are abundant, including clocks. Many people still wear traditional clothing ( 05:45 ). A trip along the Autobahn ( 06:23 ) takes viewers to Bayreuth ( 06:32 ), the city of Richard Wagner. A festival here is dedicated to the famous composer, who built his own opera house in the city. Traveling down the River Rhine ( 07:10 ) gives visitors a chance to see incredible countryside dotted with castles and churches. Barges take care when passing…
