About this audio guide
This guide to Bismarckplatz in Heidelberg follows the people who earned their living on this busy square. It starts with the staff of the department store that opened on its south side in nineteen sixty-one, and the union official who spoke for them when the chain drew up its closure list. It then reaches back to the eighteen-forties, when the garden in the middle of the square was a working harbour on the Neckar. Best heard standing by the Bismarck garden, with the tram stops around you.
