English title: Skiing on Mount Feldberg

Synopsis: Julius Neubronner (1852-1932), a chemist and inventor from Kronberg was one of the first people to film in the Rhine-Main region. He purchased his first camera in 1903, a "Kino" manufactured by Dresdner Foto-Firma. 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. "Skiing on Mount Feldberg" shows amateur footage of skiers and people going tobogganing on snow covered Mount Feldberg, Taunus.
