The old bridge
in Heidelberg,
crossing the river Neckar. Built in 1788 on the foundations of older bridges the name “Alte Brücke” stuck.
Windows of Inns and Hotels in Heidelberg
These are three establishment around the old bridge (Alte Brücke) in Heidelberg, Goldener Hecht (The golden pike), the Hotel Vier-Jahreszeiten (The Hotel Four Seasons), and I don’t know what the traditional name of the now Korean restaurant was.

History deconstructed
The dragon got shafted – literally and figuratively.
All those depiction of St George thrusting his shaft into the dragon and killing him and that dragon is never bigger than a medium sized crocodile. How could such a small creature create such devastation?
The story got misconstrued to make St George into a hero. But marble statues don’t lie!!!
FOWC with Fandango: either Misconstrue or Shaft – take your pick

Fraternity
Student fraternities are different from Studentenverbindungen in Germany. In Heidelberg they have villas or mansions at their headquarters – the crest on top is a sign of it. They are today on prime property and could be sold for millions but they are usually so well off financially that they don’t have to sell.
This one is opposite the famous Heidelberg castle on the other side of the river Neckar.

Below Me, Yet not Inferior
Small distances or longer distances, the look is down.
Do I dare to jump or not? Maybe best NOT to look down.
