Nastaetten, Germany, June 15, 1955: New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner waves as he stands with his wife, Susan, and Nastaetten Mayor Heinrich Knoegel in front of the house where Wagner's father, the late Sen. Robert F. Wagner, was born in 1877. It was Wagner's first visit to the town of 2,700 residents since 1945, when he was on duty with the Army Air Corps.
