Mannheim

These are windows from the Heidelberg Castle (Renaissance), Gersfeld, Schwetzingen and Mannheim palace (all three Baroque buildings).

Heidelberg, Mannheim and Schwetzingen are in close proximity of each other – one can see that sandstone is a prevalent building material in the area.  Gersfeld is not that far away, about the same distance from Frankfurt to the north-east as the others are south.

Neckarbrückenblues

015 Neckar 4 (640x480)

Although Joy Fleming was thinking of a different bridge over the river Neckar when she sang her signature tune: Neckarbrückenblues, this bridge is about 20km upriver, and thus qualifies for Neckarbrücke.

It spans the Neckar between Ilvesheim and Seckenheim, which is a suburb of Mannheim.
