 balhannah Says:  Memmingen is another German town, with a gate to enter the old historic Town.This, I thought, looks interesting, and so I entered the Town through the Westertor gate. Something you must do in Town's like this, is just wander around, and follow your nose, just like I did! So,... 

 mvtouring Says:  The "Church of our Lady" owes its current form to the late Gothic movement. The interior frescos from 15ht Century, the work of Hans Strigel the younger, are some of the mostsignificant of their kind in southern Germany. The frauenkirche was used "simultaneously" by both the...

 mvtouring Says:  We stumbled acrros this overhang and I found it so romantic that someone was actually living there in this place that is so old. I am sure that those walls could tell you many stories, some happy ones and then unfortunately their would be some sad ones, but that is what...

 mvtouring Says:  We just took a leasurely stroll through the town and discovered some very interesting architecture and buildings. Always a good thing to do when you get to a new place is to explore it on foot.

 balhannah Says:  Located a few kilometeres from Memmingen, is the small village of Buxheim with its large Monastery complex. I went for a walk around the inside and couldn't find anything to see, probably because it is a boarding school & day care centre. It is thought, the monastery was...
