Wine Princess

The German Wine Queen represents the German wine industry for a year. The different wine growing areas have princesses who represent their territories. Thanks to COVID Franziska Etsch’s reign for the Badische Bergstraße has been a few years more than she expected. Her poster is still up and looking over the local vinyards although I believe her crown has now been passed to a new dignitary.

Gaswerk

The gasworks in Neustadt an der Dosse in Brandenburg – this is one of only two plants of this kind still standing in Europe (there is one other in Greece).  The plant was built in 1904 and damaged little during WWII so that it was put into operation again in 1947.  The gas produced from coal was used for street lights and heating. Operations were stopped 1980.  It was declared a technical monument and converted into a museum.  What made our tour of the complex so interesting was that the two men who showed us around used to work there 40 years earlier when it was still in operation.
