I’ve shown these toilet seats before. They are still the best looking toilet seats I was ever privileged to visit so I don’t mind showing them again.
Bonus information: A toilet seat in German is a Klobrille = literally “toilet spectacles”.

The Wachenburg is only 100 years old, it was built between 1907 and 1928. The rain gutters were done by my grandfather who was a plumber and tinner by profession.

It worked. Word!
I was sitting in a training session and was bored. I looked out of the window. This is what I saw:
Three words.. HAVE I StUCK. Or possibly shuck. English words in a German setting. Intriguing.
As hard as I tried I couldn’t see more, not even during the break. After class I did a bit of recon and yes, I found more of the words, the whole wall, a little hut on a flat roof and – a poem. Only page one, though.

During the Nine Years’ War (also known as the Palatinate War of Succession) the French invaded the area around Heidelberg and destroyed the castle and parts of the town. They blew up this tower with a diametre of 24 metres and a maximum wall thickness of over 6 metres on the eastern side of the castle. And didn’t clean after themselves.
Thousands of Stolpersteine, literally stumbling stones, are found in central Europe. They are a reminder of missing or killed people during the Nazi era. These particular five in Ladenburg are of the family Kaufmann who were deported to Gurs in France, where Mathilde Kaufmann died. The other four family members, Meta, Luise, Julie, and Sally were murdered in Auschwitz.
