More from Schloss Fürstenau

A couple of weeks ago juxtaposed the new and old parts of Schloss Fürstenau in Steinbach. Here are some of the windows from the various buildings.

The clear cut classical lines of the new palais with the black and gilded lattice look perfect with the white walls offest by the grey frames (I have no idea what the colours originally were).

Dormer windows jutting out of the slate tiled roof and the wide bay window in sandstone.

My favourite windows are the skew ones in the old part which are on the outside of a staircase.

Adult Education


This art nouveau building was originally built by the Reichsbank at the beginning of the 20th century. It now houses the “Volkshochschule Badische Bergstraße”, a member of the nationwide association of adult education centres.

Sandstone windows

In our area sandstone is widely used in houses, sometimes for the whole building but often as a contrasting material. It is used as a frame for windows from the ornamental to the mundane to utilitarian.
