More Heidelberg

Old City





Details








No admittance 





180 year old tombstone 





Looking up at the castle ruins from the city.


When your house is the corner





…older than that tombstone 




Note the corner tower of the castle ruins. That’s what the Frenchies did. And they blew up the munitions storage tower. That would have made quite the bang. By then castles were becoming obsolete, with the invention and use of gunpowder. 



Note the white cobblestones in the last two photos. A small hospital chapel used to stand in those outlines. 




Statue of Maria and Christ Child it’s the inscription reading that reverence is directed, not to the materials or workmanship, but to the mother and Child themselves.

… to be continued.
