A building in Celle built Anno Domini 1544. I like the special shape of the doors in each floor.

House dating back to 1534 in Celle
Celle offers the most largerst amount of half-timbered houses in Europe. On my walk I came across this building dating back to 1534.
Half-timbered houses in Celle
Celle offers more than 400 half-timbered houses in the old part of the city. I’d like to show you some of the most beautiful ones on my next pages.
Schloss Celle in Celle
My first view of Schloss Celle while on a guided tour through the German city Celle. Schloss Celle houses one of the oldest theatre buildings in Europe.
House with a pipe like decoration in Bonn
I had already seen a lot of buildings built in a decorative style but this one looked very special to me. Have you ever seen a building with such a ‘pipe’ like decoration?

Unfortunately it was pretty rainy during my visit in Bonn. I got a nice photo of the town hall though. Many years ago I watched a ‘Rathaussturm’ here.

Café Fürstenhof in Regensburg
I just love the style of this café in Regensburg named Café Fürstenhof. What about you? Would you love to have a cup of coffee at this balcony watching the people in the street?
Wall ruins in Regensburg
Two wall ruins near the railway station of Regensburg. The wall in the foreground was built in medieval times, the wall in the background is even from ancient Roman period.
The ‘Brezel’ Lady on the ICE
A detail I really love: On my way from Hamburg to Munich a lady boarded the ICE and sold Brezel until she left the train at the next station. I was told in summer they are selling ice cream instead. Nice idea, isn’t it? Is there a similar service in your region too? More…
