Seil springende Kinder am Tanzhaus

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. Furthermore, he also shot short sketches performed by himself and his family on a stage set-up in the garden of their home. "Rope Jumping Children at the Dance House" shows a group of children in front of a building. Four girls play rope-jumping and several boys pass them pushing a wheelbarrow and a ladder wagon loaded with heavy sacks.
