This is the chapter house of the Wachenburg in Weinheim, a room where large meetings are held. Normally one finds such halls in church related buildings such as monastries or cathedrals but this chapter house is part of a castle built by an association of fraternities. It is used once a year by the association itself when the fraternity members have their annual meeting, the rest of the year it can be booked for events.

Contrast is king
with windows in half-timbered houses. These are all from Lindenfels, a small town in the Odenwald. If you look closely you will see the dragons sitting in front of the middle one.

Kind of incongruous
In the back is a freight train, 20th century technology transporting 21st century goods. And in the foreground are the remains of a villa rustica, a farming estate from almost 2000 years ago when the Romans were settling in the area.
The villa was only discovered in the 1980s although it is a built up area. I was very impressed with the layout and the swimming pool as well as the underfloor heating.

Mainhattan
Frankfurt is the only city in my vicinity that has something of a discernable skyline, the only proper high rise buildings in Germany that I know. Coming to think of it, it’s the only town that comes close to being a city around here. It’s traversed by the river Main and hence it sometimes carries the moniker Mainhattan.

With a little help
“Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.”

But sometimes you need to be pointed in the right direction.
In case you are not quite sure what you are looking at: the Wachenburg is about 20km in linear distance, 30km to travel by car, and quite a bit more walking through dales and over hills. It was as if the sunbeam wanted to guide us home.
From a closer vantage point, more or less pictured from the same side.

It’s a dangerous business, going out of your door
… at least in these times. (Apologies to Gandalf for the quote in the title.)

I like to move it, move it
The tech is in the bike itself, in the cell phone on the handlebar, in the power bank in front of the handlebar, in my bluetooth earbuds – and I use all of it for transport!
