It Sounds Cruel

This is the Hexenturm, the witches’ tower, in our town. Today it’s surrounded by residential buildings. People assume it was a prison for witches, possibly before they were burned at the stake.

The facts: This was never a prison. It was part of the town wall. We do have another tower which actually was used as a prison but there are no records of any witches ever burned or even imprisoned in our town. It is just a name and nobody really knows where it came from.

Almost Pagan

Surrounded by a circle of pines this pyramid looks like the place has mystical or possibly religious significance. It’s on the path surrounding the local lake and the pyramid shows the four compass points, each side facing due North, East, South, and West.

Honeycombed Mystery

Obviously these honeycomb structures are some kind of greenhouse. I don’t know how they work since they are open on the ground and open to the top. I also don’t know for what kind of crop. The bad news is: it is a kind of synthetic material or plastic. The good news is: the material is usually rolled up when no longer needed and brought out again the year after.
