A vision of tomorrow, through the eyes of yesterday
A boy – the promise of the future – in a building which his great great grandfather helped to build in the past.
My grandfather was a young tradesman, a tinsmith, some 100 years ago when this castle was built and carried out some work on the construction. Now my grandson was playing amongst its walls and columns.

One characteristic of the castle in Weinheim an der Bergstraße are the different architectural styles seen in various additions and renovations, there are renaissance and baroque elements, a large tract has been remodelled in classicistic style and another part was built in neo-gothic style. Hence, there are different kinds of windows in the various parts.

This is more colourful, seen in Ladenburg.
More geraniums, in Weinheim.
No flowers at all, yet the feeling is definitely “holiday in Balconia”.
The old part of the town of Weinheim is built on an incline. The rooms behind the lower row of balconies are street level on the other side of the house. It looks even higher when shown with the more modern houses in front:
