Three Different Types of Open Space

· 7 Comments ·

A huge open space for most of the year in the middle of the city: the Wiesn, the place where the biggest Octoberfest in the world takes place each September.

Brandenburg is as flat as country can be and there is nothing like seemingly endless skies to feel out in the open.

At the other end of Germany, the flatness of the Upper Rhine Valley is bordered by the Odenwald on one side, the Pfälzer Wald on the other side.

It’s the sky in all three examples that purports the sense of open country.

Colour can enhance that sense of wideness.

Rathaus Lützelsachsen

It used to be that half timbered meant dark wood and white washed panels in between but in recent years colour has come into play.

  • Stadttambour Tüncher in Bensheim
  • Lindenfels
  • Michelstadt

At first it took me a bit to get used to it but when it works, it works.
