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. "The Arrival of King Edward VII. of England in Kronberg" shows footage of the king exiting the train and being welcomed by Emperor Wilhelm with a kiss on the cheek. Likewise present and involved in the reception is Emperor Wilhelm's sister, Margaret Princess of Prussia (also known as Margaret of Hesse). Crowds of people wearing top hats due to the formal nature of the event, witness the proceedings from the sidelines.
