Strahlenburg is the castle ruin above the town of Schriesheim at the Bergstraße. The local school is quite logically called Strahlenberger Schule. It’s quite a typical primary school building around here.
What caught my eye were the windows decorated for Easter or maybe just spring.
But the real eye-catcher were the reflections in the various panels.

I showed the institutional care building which is being partly demolished last week. This week there is a glimpse of the administration building which will be kept. I particularly like the five narrow windows with the sandstone frames.

Built little more than 135 years ago, this building has served as a place for people with disabilities due to age, illness or congenital conditions. The level of care depended on the spirit of the time, some times were better than others. It is now being transformed into residential apartments. Some building will stay, some are being demolished.
The house facade, a combination of clinker in two colours, dates the building. The geometrical patterns are typical of the late 19th century as are the sandstone frames around the windows.
The walled up windows have been so for ages, most of the glass panes have been broken, I’ll keep watching what will remain.

It’s not a good photo nor is it an impressive window. But it is a window, or rather several, and the reflections were fun. As was the company’s logo: Rethink – I only registered the HR later and was wondering whether it was a religious organisation.
And P&I could also stand for Partner & I. I’m not wearing red.
