Kack
A lost part of town

Contrary to what it seems, Echternach did not stay the same over the years. These extraits from old postcards show how a town-part of central Echternach looked like before and shortly after the war. Today it does not exist anymore: It is a parking space now.

This picture was taken long after the second world war. The town-quater Kack is still existing. Even the leather-factory still stands.

This postcard shows a view that is more than 100 years old. Shipbuilding was a successful industry.
