 Buchenwald KZ by margaretvn
is 8 kilometres north of Weimar. More than 54,000 people were murdered here. The Memorial can be seen high on the hill for miles and miles. Although not a pleasant day out it is part of our history and I think that if we visit we will remember the people and think about the horrors. It happened and we cannot help that but perhaps we could then think about improving the world we now live in. Leave a Comment

Inside the park of Linderhof palace you will find some special buildings that were favorite places of "mad" King Ludwig II of Bavaria :
1) Hundinghütte looks like a simple hut from outside, but inside it has a certain luxury. Hundinghütte is a remote little hut at the east-end of the castle-park.
It was built at a small lake and King Ludwig very often spent the whole day and even some nights there, living the "simple life" like one of the persons in his beloved legends and epics.
There is a huge artificial tree with a chandelier and a fireplace on a table , surrounded by benches covered with the skin of bears. (on the right, in the back of my 3rd pic )
Under the chandelier there are large horns that the king used to drink of.
Gurnemanz-Klause (my 4th pic) is a small church that was built by a monch at a remote place inside the woods - according to one of the stories that King Ludwig liked so very much.
So he decided to build such a small church inside the park as well and he used the area also for performances of special scenes of operas.
And his servants sometimes had to remove all the snow, and plant flowers especially for this one performance, and make sure, no animals will eat these "early" flowers, before the king saw his performance there...
On my last picture : This small church is 200 meters east from the castle.
It was built in the style of Bavarian alpine churches, but much smaller than normally.
You may not enter the church, but have a look inside through a window.
__________________________Linderhof palace is about 17 Km west of Oberammergau and Ettal.
There is a fee to park your car ( 2,- € a day ) and the parking is big enough for some hundred of cars. Leave a Comment

POINT ALPHA is a small place (next to the small village of Geisa, about 40 km west of Eisenach), where the US-Forces had a watchtower and an army-camp directely at the DDR / GDR-border and next to the fortified iron-curtain of the East-Bloc. This camp was built at a place, where the US-Forces could easyly watch many activities going on in eastern Germany.
Point Alpha is a museum nowadays and you will see a part of the iron-wall around the DDR there, you might see some of the cruel details, that many people have forgotten already, when some people in the former DDR are wishing back their "Good old times of easy life in communiste germany"
You may see the dogs on a long leash that were fixed at those few places, where cartrafic was able to get through a stone-fence that would at all other places stop any attempt to break through by car. You may touch the iron-curtain, made of extremely strong fences and you may see the road made for the troops to drive along the borderline...
While the area of the former iron curtain is to be seen freely and without restrictions any time of the day or night, the former US-camp is open for visitors only a restricted time :
Drive from Eisenach to Point Alpha on the road B84 !
The US-camp-museum of Point Alpha is open
April-October : daily 09.00a.m.-06.00p.m.
November + March : daily 10.00a.m. - 05.00p.m.
December - February :Tue-Sun 10.00a.m.-05.00p.m.

 Friedrichstadt - a "dutch
colony" in Germany by globetrott, 4 more photos
Take a look at my last picture : Such "leaning houses" are no mis-constructions. They rather were built that way in order to be able to transport goods to the upper levels with the help of a crane fixed on top.The things were finally taken in through the windows. Leave a Comment
