Twin windows
All these twin windows are from Steinbach, a small village which is part of the small town of Michelstadt im Odenwald. One can see that many of the older houses have shingles on the face of the buildings which is typical for the area.
And last not least the windows in the 1200-year-old basilica in the village, designed by Einhard, the biographer of Charlemagne. They are reinforced today and would not have had those bars in Einhard’s time.

Painted windows
I’ve used a panaroma shot of this housing development before and was asked why there are no real windows on this side of the building. I don’t have an answer. But I like the building nevertheless, at least from the outside.

Letting him have a look
I was intrigued by the cross standing in the window with the crucified Jesus looking out, an inversion of the normal tradition.

Picture windows
I found these covered-up windows in Wiesbaden-Biebrich. They look so very art nouveau and although only put in later it almost certainly correlates with the age of the building.
