Step Outside and *splash*

Jez oddity today is a door in an odd place. I think I can top the oddness – imagine stepping out of this door and falling in a little scream — 😂 oh, what a beautiful typo! I had to leave it. The stream is called Gerberbach and was an artificial branch of the Grundelbach servicing the tanners living in this quarter. They lived right on the water and often had small bridges outside their doors, often now dismantled.

With or without bridge, it’s odd, isn’t it?

Making History Accessible

The museum of Michelstadt, a medium-sized town in the Odenwald, has a small, newly renovated museum. One section is dedicated to a rabbi, talmudist and kabbalist, known as Sekl Loeb Wormser or Rabbi Jizchok Arje who lived in Michelstadt, Frankfurt and Mannheim from the mid eighteenth century until the early nineteenth.

He took his family name from the fact that his ancestors came from the town of Worms, about 60 km to the west on the Rhine.
