Rosenheim's change over the years
Rosenheim has changed enormously since its appointment as the city in 1864 and the achievement of the freedom of the district in 1870. The city went through a phase of the spirit of optimism around the turn of the century from the 19th to the 20th century. The transition from an agricultural small town to an industrially shaped middle city was noticeably carried out. According to stadtarchiv.de , the construction of the railway and the establishment of a salte crucial steps for this development.
Thanks to the railway, Rosenheim was able to create many jobs and establish itself as an important traffic junction. A new train station was built around 1900, and the population rose by impressive 70 percent by 1919. In 1900, over 14,000 people already lived in the city. Infrastructure also happened: from the opening of an urban swimming school in 1872 until the establishment of a gas factory and the construction of a waterworks - the growth and modernization were clearly recognizable.A call to participate
