Quite modern next to really old
These apartments were built onto the medieval town wall in Ladenburg.

The last stand
This abandoned building is in the heart of the Mannheim quarter of Jungbusch. It’s near the old industrial harbour and the whole quarter is a mixture of run down, turn-of-the-last-century residential buildings, industrial buildings like warehouses and pre-war factories. At the same time there is construction work going on and new fashionable buildings have gone up, a mixture of offices and residences. One large block directly at the waterfront is the “Popakademie”, a private music school of national renown.
I don’t really understand the graffiti. It is against gentrification but I have no idea how the music school fits into this.

Wear a mask! – But also wear a helmet!
This ties in with Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Anything to do with bikes, trikes and motorcyles yesterday. I was on a long bike tour today. I came home with a scraped ellbow, a sore thumb and a cracked bicycle helmet.
I don’t know how the accident happened. I can localise it on a stretch of about 5 kilometres but I have no recollection of what happened. I made it home and I was hungry. My head doesn’t hurt. But my husband promised to watch me tonight.
Update: I’m fine. Here is another take of mine on the accident: https://debrisweb.wordpress.com/2020/08/08/soweit-ich-mich-erinnern-kann-to-the-best-of-my-recollection/
Have pedals, will travel

Then and now

With or without
motors.
Many schools are named for Otto Lilienthal, the pioneer in aviation, particularly near Berlin, where he lived and tried out his gliding contraption.
I’m sure the first people seeing Lilienthal in the sky were as mesmerised as these onlookers – admiring a glider that flies through the air without motor.
