Saalgasse has been attracting nostalgists and urban treasure hunters for years. Antique salespeople like Rudolf Steinmann come here to show off their wares—his store is like an oversized display at an ethnological museum. From African masks to carvings, oil paintings, and strange artifacts and leather bags that have developed a patina of their own over the generations—Steinmann is happy to tell visitors where he discovered each of the pieces for sale.
