Germany - pictures, part 2


Town hall of lovely Weil der Stadt


Statue of the Kepler, Weil der Stadt's most famous son


The church of Weil der Stadt


Stained glass image from early 1940's depicting Jesus forsaking Hitler. Pretty risky as the gestapo later came to take away the priest.


Gina and friend


Two witches




The main town square or Market square


Weil der Stadt from above


Taking in the view from the top of the bell tower. Up until last century, people lived up here to watch for fires.


Above the ceiling of the church - 16th century

The night watchman tour of Weil der Stadt. Learned about the thousands dead from the bubonic plague, and the hundreds of red headed withches killed. Not too mention puppet museums, torture dungeon and such.


Lisa in the Stuttgart fountain... 95 degrees outside


The TV tower in Stuttgart

Top of the tower


Carnival statues


Local wurst (sausage)-one liver, one something like bologna, one is a mystery and the dark one is blood. Oh, and pickles.


Bratwurst and kraut


Drinking local schnapps
