Beautiful towns. Very interesting thread. Thanks for the pictures.
It's always nice to see pics of small german cities... They're so cute (most of them, at least, heheh)... Monschau looks a fairy-tale town...:cool:

Anyways, thanks for sharing! :)

You first think "olttowns look all the same" but if you look closer the difference are in the details, which makes every building unique :)

No, that is from Wiesbaden. The capital of the german federal state of hesse.
In front of the Citycastle, today the place of the Landtag of Hesse.

In 1905 there was a traffíc refuge. The shape of the refuge was reconstructed with this mosaik in 2004. It shows the eagle of prussia. nassau became of kingdom of prussia in 1866. Besides the eagle, the whole mossaik shows the lion of hesse, the lion of nassau and the white eagle of frankfurt.
