Outside the wall |
For defence, a walkway runs along the walls |
Looking in on the city from the wall |
Along the wall, part of which had to be reconstructed after bombing in WWII, were plaques from a wide variety of donors from all over the world. Most paid for "one meter of wall" reconstruction. |
This says that fines from naughty young people went to the reconstruction. Might be incentive to minor hooliganism? |
Where we were recently |
It says, "Beware the woman of the house; the dog is harmless." |
Marzipan |
The green are bottles |
A time-traveled fellow newly introduced to cell phones |
The market square and people waiting for the clock to ring six |
At which time windows open and the pantomime begins: an old story says that after an attack a deal was made that the mayor drink three laters of beer straight down to save the city..... |
.... he did but it killed him. That's dedication. |
Thanks for the wonderful tour! What a charming, picturesque city! Not at all surprising it was used to film a Grimm fairy tales movie. This town really seems like it is the best kept secret tourist destination in Germany.
ReplyDeleteActually, it is very well visited. I believe your son even made a special trip to go see it.
