A tram stands in the middle of the street under its bow collector, with market stalls and awnings along the left and deep shop awnings on the right. The ornate Secession block at the right carries MÖBELHAUS across its upper facade, and a church tower with an onion dome rises over the roofs at the left. The card is captioned in Hungarian and German together, which places it before 1918, while the tram places it at 1911 or later.
About this place
The street running off Liberty Square, named for King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and carrying the name still. The archive's cards look along it toward the spire of the Name of Mary Church, with the tram in the roadway and shop awnings down the left side. Under the occupation of 1941 to 1944 the street carried Adolf Hitler’s name, and the archive’s wartime photograph of it is filed here under that period. Under socialist Yugoslavia the street carried the name Ulica narodnih heroja, which a separate street about 120 m south-west carries today, so a caption using that name has to be dated before it is placed. The pin is the OpenStreetMap line of the street itself.
