Early Schneeschuh in München?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi, this is a really early pic... does anyone know if it is München?

Chris,

 I think this is Munich.

in 1914 there was a Bankhaus Sigmund Klopfer (name on the sign on the building to the left) in Münich at Schützenstrasse 7. 

Schützenstraße led/leads directly to the Hauptbahnhof, which would certainly be a destination for these guys. 

Not that it matters, but I lived about two blocks from here for several years not that long ago and am rather familiar with the area.

haha... I was going to make a snide comment about your age if you recognise that... but I will go with "not that long ago"... thanks for the ID.
