 hquittner Says:  This large gate leads from the town out into the Rhine promenade, with a busy street, a walk and docks for the Rhine steamers and other vessels (plus some structures - an ancient crane and a bulwark that I could not walk to). I did not cross to take a picture of the facade,... 

 hquittner Says:  The care of the poor was a deep concern of these citizens. The Catholic Church built a church next to the hospital ( the present day hospital is down the street), in the early 18C. The pcture is from where we parked the car near a pharmacy.
