Windows with rainbows
Very topical. These rainbows with the words “we are staying home” and “it’ll be okay” have started to appear in windows.

Windows of a renovated Rathaus
The townhall (Rathaus) of Lützelsachsen was built from 1674 to 1688 and renovated in 1808. And then it was renovated during the last couple of years. And now there are functional windows, old fashioned windows, and modern windows. Decide for yourself if you think it works.
Rathaus
This is what it looked like a year ago or so.
And this is what it looks like today. There is no mayor residing in it anymore since Lützelsachsen became part of the town Weinheim.
And that’s the view from the back with the cars still able to drive underneath the mayor’s former office – with two beautiful windows looking down on traffic.

Windows from Schifferstadt
Schifferstadt is a town on the Rhine near Ludwigshafen. The old part has many half-timbered houses dating back several centuries – many are restored or are in the process of being restored.
Traditionally, these houses show the contrast between the dark brown or black wooden beams and the whitewashed mortar pieces in between.
Sometimes these colours are offset by colourful, often red, shudders.
Green is also a favourite, for shudders as well as for window frames.
However, in recent years more and more half-timbered houses have started to sport a coat of paint, ranging from soft pink like the one below to really dark or bright colours.
Often the panels are accentuated with two-tone coloured paint. The writing on the beam reads: Joseph Maier and his wife Katharina built this house in the year of the Lord 1835 (Dieses Haus erbaute Joseph Maier und seine Ehefrau Katharina im Jahre Christi 1835).
Blue is a fashionable tint for half-timbered houses these days. It goes well with green climbers and red geraniums.
