This long mural is an advertisement for a plumber who plans and installs bathrooms, solar panels, heating systems (the company’s name is unobtrusively in the last photo, bottom right). This is in Oberursel, just northwest of Frankfurt in Germany.

(Apologies to Woody Allen for the truncated quote.)

9 outhouses e — One of a series of creative toilet seats in a hotel in Chodovar, Czech Republic. Useless fact: In German, toilet seats are called “loo spectacles”.

9 outhouses d — Mural in Oberursel, Germany.

9 outhouses a

9 outhouses b — Not quite state-of-the-art outhouse on an allotment. And another useless fact: outhouses in German are called “Plumpsklos”, a loo into which somethings drops. Admit it, you wanted to know that.

I’ve used the painted wooden toilet seats once before in a photo challenge: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/wcs-with-water-and-without/

b+w wc 2

Inside a ladies’ toilet in a restaurant in Chodovar in the Czech Republic. The seats were the unique to say the least. And to this day I have no idea why there were different doors for “ladies”, “baby girls”, and “hip hoppers”.

A lot less elaborate and without what we consider plumbing the toilet on the outside of an old castle. Not an outhouse as such, rather an out-room.

In winter, they must have really wished for toilet seat heating!
