Renowned heroes, worthy of praise

If you know something of the Nibelungenlied you know that Hagen killed Siegfried at a brook while he was kneeling down to have a drink. There are at least eight places in the Odenwald which claim to be the place where it all happened. Quite interesting, isn’t it?

The photos were taken at the Lindelbrunnen in Hiltersklingen.

It remains a balancing act

The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true.

This is a monument to honour the victims of violence, war, and persecution by Hubertus von der Goltz. That their precarious position is threatened can be seen by the spikes on either side (I have to go back and get a better photo).
