Traditional costume from the Alsace.
Odenwälder and Bergsträßer traditional costume.
Non-specific traditional costume from the South and Southwest of Germany.


These murals in Lindenfels are badly faded, I enhanced them with photo shop. The left picture depicts the traditional costume of Lindenfels in the Odenwald; the right picture shows young women from Moëlan sur Mer in traditional Breton costume. The two towns are twinned.
Another version of Odenwald costume from Neunkirchen, the highest village in the Hessian part of the Odenwald, part of the community of Modautal.

When the old tower was condemned because the wood was rotten they built a new one. It’s slanted.
The new tower adds 34 metres to the 577m of the (a hill in the Odenwald), has 192 steps, the inclination angle to the horizontal level is 54,3°. And the panoramic view is amazing – given the correct weather conditions, naturally.
