Remscheid, Germany - 16th September 2012

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
after attending a birthday party and eating far too much we felt an urge to take a walk in the late afternoon. First we went to the municipal park, only a few minutes to get there. On our way there we came along those nice dwellings.

This is the police headquarter with a little park in front of it.

We went to the municipal park than. In the entrance area you can find the observatory.

We enjoyed the lovely weather.

We left the park to reach the historical district Hasten. Here many lovely old houses remained after large parts of the city centre of Remscheid were destroyed in WW II.

There are calm streets to live in .

I like those traditional houses with their green shutters.

This Patrician villa was built in the late 1790 years. Nowadays a museum is situated in the building.

The German Tool Museum (Deutsches Werkzeugmuseum) is also situated on this estate. Here you can see some of severeal outdoor facilities.

This looks like some kind of weird instrument of torture :)

From here we had a good overlook to the green surroundings of Remscheid.

Remscheid is an old industrial city. You can often find industrial complexes - often historical ones - among dwellings. This is a famous producer of car seats.

We decided to take a longer way home, through another park.

My current home is in the house just beyond the park.

It's really nice to look into the trees flooded with sunlight (or rain :) ).

Bye

P.S. Until today my host did not make any effort to buy marshmallows for me. She seems to be a person with more healthy food preferences. What a pity!
