Travelog post for: Manner

Hi Mummy,
in the afternoon we took a walk to the post office. Katja had to send a parcel to a friend.

We walked to the district Hasten, one of the oldest districts of the municipal area. You can find many old  houses here, often the so-called "Bergische Häuser" (Bergisch houses). Houses which are covered with slate and timberframed houses, both of them often with green shutters. are typical for this region.

This Patrician villa was built in 1778/1779. Today a museum is situated here, a museum of local history.



On the front doors you can find lion shaped knockers. Many old houses still have them.



In a complex of buildings behind the museum another museum is located: The Deutsches Werkzeugmuseum (German Tools Museum). It was closed but we had a look at the surrounding park where some machines are displayed.





I'm sitting with Sportie on an anvil. Remscheid is famous for its tool producing industry, from medieval times tools are produced here.







On our way home we saw more pretty old houses.





Bye for today
Manner
