The Neubronner Family Takes a Walk

Julius Neubronner (1852-1932), a chemist and inventor from Kronberg was one of the first people to film in the Rhine-Main region. In 1903 he acquired his first film camera, an Ernemann "Kino" for 17.5mm film with center perforation. With his camera Neubronner recorded historical events as well as the everyday life of his family.

The scene has been shot in a forest scenery. The boys carry wooden hoops, Julius Neubronner is also visible.
