At first glance the generational change is not apparent, but the sons’ professions reveal it. The next generation had new professions.
Dr. Georg Eichelbaum became an important chemist and moved to Berlin (here with his wife Grete),
his brother Oscar was accountant and the other brother Albert worked as an procurator.
