The area north of the main station in Darmstadt has seen almost unbelievable building activities during the last decade. About 10 years ago we used to run through overgrown empty lots.
Looking to the right.
and looking to the left, the reflection and the building itself.

I’m not quite sure whether these ventilation hoses have been installed due to COVID air conditioning improvements. In any case, they look funny.

This is the front of the Herschelbad in Mannheim. Bernhard Herschel was a businessman and local councellor who donated 500,000 goldmarks in early the 20th century for the establishment of a public swimming bath that would carry his name. It took quite a while with planning and building and the baths were finally opened in 1920, 15 years after his death. There are three large pools, bath tubs, a Roman-Irish bath, a sun bathing section and even a pool for dogs.



A few of the various windows seen on the neo-baroque front.
