Wilhelm Schürmann (born 1946) took the photographs in Road Map to Happiness between 1979 and 1981, on the street on which he grew up in the city of Dortmund, Germany. Published here for the first time, Schürmann’s black-and-white images of storefront displays and living rooms present a funny and moving portrait of postwar Germany.
