A glimpse into the rich history and picturesque landscapes of Hamm, Germany. From the breathtaking aerial view of the Hamm castle in Prum valley to the solemn Luxembourg US Military Cemetery, this town holds stories of both beauty and sacrifice. The gravesite at the cemetery stands as a poignant reminder of the 5000 US war dead from World War II, their memory forever etched in our hearts. In a different realm, Albert Hamm's prowess as an oarsman shines through in his portrayal in Worlds Champions series for Allen & Co. Moving on to wartime accounts, G. H. Davis reveals that rail tracks at they were favored targets by RAF during intense conflicts. These tracks held strategic importance and bore witness to relentless bombings. Amidst all this history lies Zekeli & Muller's Kurhaus and bathing complex, which won acclaim in a monthly competition back in March 1882. Similarly recognized were Guth Hermann's Kurhaus and bathing facility along with Doflein Karl's contribution to that same competition - testaments to architectural brilliance even then. As we explore these diverse facets of Hamm, we uncover its past while appreciating its present charm.
