Tag: Schriesheim
I’m a Fan of the Kanzelbach
The village of Schriesheim, less than 10 kms to the south of us, has a stream running through the village called Kanzelbach. This is not unusual since Schriesheim is built on the slopes of the Odenwald like many other towns and villages along the Bergstraße. Streams descend from the hills, cross the plain and join the River Rhein.
But in Schriesheim they did something special to their little waterway as you can see.

Strahlenberger School
Strahlenburg is the castle ruin above the town of Schriesheim at the Bergstraße. The local school is quite logically called Strahlenberger Schule. It’s quite a typical primary school building around here.
What caught my eye were the windows decorated for Easter or maybe just spring.
But the real eye-catcher were the reflections in the various panels.

The Protestant Church in Schriesheim
That’s the original photo from Schriesheim near Heidelberg in Germany.
I chose LunaPic filters in the manner of famous artists to work on the photo. luncapic.com is a web based free photo editing site.

In the Middle of It
This parish hall in Schriesheim has been changed into a café and a meeting venue (still under the auspices of the neighbouring protestant church), The windows have mostly stayed the same.

A Little Knowledge
When I saw this sign at the entrance of an old inn I was wondering about the meaning of it.
An old fashioned beer mug. That’s self-explanatory.
Hearts, Diamonds, spades, and clubs. I have placed a few games of Skat in my youth, so I understand that as well.
A Star of David – here it unravels. What does it have to do with an inn?
That’s where research comes in. The hexagram may look like a Star of David but it is the symbol of the Guild of Brewers. And that makes sense, naturally.
