Footnote:The Hamburger Fremdenblatt (Hamburg Stranger’s Newspaper) was one of the most influential newspapers in Hamburg during the 19th and early 20th century. It originally got its name from printing the names of foreigners that arrived in the city before evolving into a regular newspaper. The two main differences to most newspapers of its time were the fact that it was much larger than most, and featuring lots of pictures, which at the time was still very uncommon.
