Karl Friedrich Baedeker

5 Nov 2008

We don't, of course, usually cover editions post-1945; but there is an interesting copy of Nordbayern und Ostbayern 4 (1962) [N38a] on eBay. It is interesting because it has a dedication by Karl Baedeker to the book's original owner, Dr. Wilhelm Müller. Of course, it's not the original Karl Baedeker, but Karl Friedrich Baedeker, who restarted the firm after WWII and ran it until his death in 1979.

An interesting piece of Baedekeriana.
