1900 Addressbuch to today location
I've found my great grandfather in an old addressbuch from 1900 at Historic Addressbooks - Addressbook entry (adressbuecher.net) listed as Oster-Langenhorn 155. The address doesn't show in google maps. Is there a way to see where it was on a map today?
Thanks,
Eric

I googled Oster-Langenhorn and found this: https://mapcarta.com/18058608
I didn't see a street named Oster-Langenhorn, but since that is the name of the village, maybe he lived along what is called the "Dorfstraße"

Oster-Langenhorn is the older (low German) name of Ost-Langenhorn, which is now part of the community Langenhorn in Schleswig-Holstein. If you enter Ost-Langenhorn, Dorfstrasse 155 into Google Maps you get the (most probable) position of your GGF's home, see below. There is even a grocery shop not far away, with the name EDEKA Steensen, maybe a cousin?

Thanks to both of you for your help. It could be a cousin for the store but would be a distant cousin as 2 of the 3 sons had no children and my great grandfather emigrated here before having kids.

An update as I connected with a 3rd cousin that goes through Langenhorn occasionally. The house is still there, the street name is Dorfstrasse, but the number is Dorfstrasse 166.
