I wasn’t initially planning to take photos of the house next to that arch in Neckargemünd, east of Heidelberg. But I had to learn that the karenicity runs strong even in some Germans. While I was trying to find a good angle for a photo (and was quite chuffed to get the triangle of the house exactly in the opening of the arch) I was approached by a lady with a piercing voice: “Are you photographing MY house?! Are you, tell me, are you?!” I explained that I was taking pictures of the arch but as it was quite a nice house I might also photograph the house. She drew a deep breath but before she could say anything I explained in my calmest voice that I was perfectly allowed to do so from the street. She huffed a little bit and puffed a little bit and I took pictures of the house and the windows. I mean – what do you expect if you have a beautiful house standing next to an antique cultural artefacts?




Beautiful windows, aren’t they?

Well done for not poking her in the eye 🙂

Some people seem overly protective of the looks of their property. I have been accosted with “you can’t take photos of this building” even here in the U.S.A. while standing on a public sidewalk. I try to be nice and not pick any fights. Thank you for sharing.
