Windows of a renovated Rathaus

The townhall (Rathaus) of Lützelsachsen was built from 1674 to 1688 and renovated in 1808.  And then it was renovated during the last couple of years.  And now there are functional windows, old fashioned windows, and modern windows.  Decide for yourself if you think it works.

This is what it looked like a year ago or so.

And this is what it looks like today.  There is no mayor residing in it anymore since Lützelsachsen became part of the town Weinheim.

And that’s the view from the back with the cars still able to drive underneath the mayor’s former office – with two beautiful windows looking down on traffic.

Count, counting, counts

19 count a (480x640)

19 count b (640x480)

When we still had a count in our town he lived with his family in this castle.  Today it is used for the offices of the town council.  My dad used to work in one of the offices and when I visited him as a little girl I loved to walk up the flight of steps, counting each one, past two naked ladies in black marble, and imagine myself a young revolutionary charged with numerous counts of  rebellion.

This is for One Word Sunday with the topic “count“.  More counts can be found here.
