Hi Mummy,
we went to the post office today to buy stamps. Katja showed us a fountain close to the post office. She told us that mostly children love this fountain because there are many funny things integrated. Some parts are rotating than with the flowing water, some parts are salivating water into different directions and there are sounds caused by the water.
From here we walked into the direction of the central train station to walk along the route of tools.
But where is the train station?
Oh dear, this building site is the central train station, or better, it will be there in about half a year.
Here we are at the entrance to the route of tools, which is a lane for pedestrians and cyclists through the town, made on a closed railway route. It was financed by many local industrial firms, most of them they produce tools. Along the lane you can find signs of those producers, also artwork made of tools or parts of them. The closer you are to the central station the more industrial areas you have, some still working, other only ruins.
Katja forgot to change the camera settings from "close" to the normal setting, so the backdrops of the following photos are a little bit blurred.
Here you can see some of the signs of the sponsoring companies.
This bench is made of the axis of an old water wheel and an original sleeper.
This is part of the former slaughterhouse. This complex is under preservation order. Nowadays these buildings are used by different companies.
Here we are close to our home again.
Opposite of the church you can find a playground. Nobody is playing outside, maybe because it's lunch time.
Enough for today!
Bye
Womy
