In 1862 it was decided to make the Port of Hamburg (Germany) an open tidal port rather than a dock port of the kind very common at the time. Johannes Dalmann as Director of Hydraulic Engineering then made a start on extensive planning for restructuring the port area. In 1866 he constructed quays and sheds along both banks of the River Elbe. The first ship-to-rail transfer then took place at the siding on Kaiserkai in 1872. This laid the foundation for Hamburg?s emergence as the largest rail port in Europe.

In 1920, women faced significant restrictions. They were commonly prohibited from serving on juries, obtaining independent passports (married women needed joint visas), wearing certain clothes (like short skirts/legs) in public in some areas, accessing contraception in many states, and entering many professional law or medical jobs.
Young women in the 1920s who embraced modern, rebellious lifestyles were commonly called flappers. Known for bobbed hair, short skirts, jazz music, and dancing, they challenged traditional Victorian norms. Other terms for young women included “modern women,” “college girls,” and sometimes “bobbed girls,” or even derogatory terms like “gold diggers”
