Bagger 293 bucket wheel excavator GIF

[the harmonious blacksmith]

Well the one I saw had to be quite a bit earlier (and smaller) than the 293 as I saw it in 1989 when we were visiting our son who was stationed in Bamberg at the time. We were there with our other son and father-in law and sister-in-law,the six of us playing tourists. It had to be the Bagger 285 (1975), Bagger 287 (1976), Bagger 288 (1978). so it was most likely smaller. Still an incredible machine!
I suppose there are numerous photos somewhere in the bowels of the basement but as I am "organizationally challenged" I wouldn't know where to start looking.

Not fact-checking you, [so popular these days] the harmonious blacksmith, just curious about the immensity shown in Gif and pix.
And organizationally challenged, I know the poster girl.
