Discover a piece of history with this original Neufeldt & Kuhnke telephone from the early 20th century (circa 1905-1915). A true gem, this OB Telephone Model 05, featuring dual induction cranks and a connection box, was once used by the Kiel tax office. It later found its way into the hands of a southern German collector, who kindly exchanged it with us in return for a donation to support Afghan children. We've proudly added this incredible artifact to our company museum collection after significantly increasing the intended donation.
The OB operation (Ortsbetrieb) means the power source for the microphone was at the participant's location, with only the inductively transmitted speech alternating current flowing through the line. Such desk telephones were standard equipment in the German Empire starting around 1905.

Entdecken Sie ein Stück Geschichte mit diesem originalen Neufeldt & Kuhnke Fernsprecher aus dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert (ca. 1905-1915). Ein wahres Juwel, dieses OB-Telefon Modell 05 mit zwei Induktorkurbeln und Anschlusskasten wurde einst vom Finanzamt Kiel verwendet. Es gelangte später in die Hände eines Sammlers aus Süddeutschland, der es uns im Austausch gegen eine Spende für afghanische Kinder überließ. Stolz haben wir dieses unglaubliche Artefakt in unsere Unternehmenssammlung aufgenommen, nachdem wir die beabsichtigte Spende erheblich aufgestockt haben.
Der OB-Betrieb bedeutet, dass die Spannungsquelle für das Mikrofon beim Teilnehmer vor Ort war, und nur der induktiv übertragene Sprechwechselstrom durch die Leitung floss.
#GermanEmpire
During the #FirstWorldWar (1914–1918), the Revolutionary Stewards (German: Revolutionäre Obleute) were #shopStewards who were independent from the official unions and freely chosen by workers in various German industries. They rejected the war policies of the #GermanEmpire and the support which parliamentary representatives of the #SocialDemocraticParty (SPD) gave to the policies. They also played a role during the #GermanRevolutionOf191819. Their leader, #RichardMüller.

What a stark contrast with contemporaneous #French people in #Europe!
While this woman in French-speaking #Quebec was riding around town, smoking, and enjoying view from a rented hearse, #France was forming the French #ThirdRepublic after losing the #FrancoPrussianWar to #Germany.
Also, #German Chancellor #Bismarck was presiding over the newly proclaimed and unified #GermanEmpire, twirling #Napoleon's sword after the French surrender.
