“It seemed like a lot of copper.” – from: The High Window by Raymond Chandler

The house itself was built in the middle of the 16th century and this alone makes it a part of history. But it is also the custodian of our towns traditions as it is today the home of the local historical society, and once a year it is the centre of our town festival.



At the west corner of the old catholic schoolhouse in the Dreikönigstraße in Schwetzingen is this depiction of the three wise men (who are the three holy kings in German).

“Bei uns kommt der Strom aus der Steckdose” = Our electricity comes from the socket. This was familiar saying in the 80s in Germany. I don’t know the origin but nowadays it is used disparagingly to characterise an attitude of people who want (and waste) electricity mindless of how it is produced. This transformer substation reminded me of this phrase although I’m sure the electricity company meant to illustrate that they are the ones supplying electricity to all households. The houses are typical for the region, the Odenwald in Germany.
