Bruchsal, Germany - 29th June 2013

By: fam-united

Then we walked  to the "Stadtgarten", which is a park with another beautiful baroque building called the Belvedere.

This fountain is called Ferdinand-Keller-Brunnen.

My hosts and I love this lime tree.

The Belvedere on the edge of the "Stadtgarten" was built by Leonhard Stahl in 1756 as a hunting lodge for Prince Bishop Franz Christoph von Hutten. The location was chosen so that the lodge would command an unspoiled view of the palace, town and Rhine rift valley beyond.

Behind the trees you maybe see a part of the Belvedere. There were many people around training for a play, so we didn't want to take photos there

This street leads along the Stadtgarten and you have a nice view over Bruchsal's houses from there. The large tower you see on the left is the only remnant of the ancient castle.

The green roof belongs to a part of the older people's house. In the far you can see the two towers of St. Peter.

The yellow-white house also is part of the older people's house. In the far on the left you see a grey building. It is the private grammer school St. Paulusheim, which belongs to padres of the Pallotti order. All houses between here and St. Paulusheim belong to the older people's house.

We were standing next to this building, while we took the photos before.

Then we walked downstairs and I found this Pieta.

Looking the way up again I could see the Wingerthaeusle, which was mentioned on the sign before.

Between two buildings of the older people's house I found this carillon, which plays once every day.

Here we are standing next to the grammar school St. Paulusheim, which I mentioned before.

We walked down the stairs again to go back to Huttenstraße. The house on the right still belongs to the older people's house. It is really large.

On the foot of the stair I found this sign, where I read more about St. Paulusheim.

Then we walked along Klostergasse, which is a small street with nice old houses. There was a sign about Ceratiten on a wall of a house. The lower part of this house's facade was built with limestone, which included ceratites, a type of ammonoid fossils.

I like this doorknocker.

Here we see the river Saalbach again.

Only a few minutes to walk now and we are back home.
