This carved door is the main entry of the Hugenottenkirche (a protestantic church) in Ludweiler, city of Voelklingen in Germany. It was built in 1961 by a local joiner and donated to the church.

This house was used as elemantary school in the years 1920 to 1927. It was only one class-room, the other room was for the care-taker who lived here. Nowadays, the house is a dwelling-house, owned by a young couple. The building on the left was added in the early 30ies.
Thanks a lot for tgi nice idea ! I had learned much about this building and his interesting history... 
 
The old railroad depot of Voelklingen, a city in Germany. The new one is situated only a few yards away...
This old depot now contains a restaurant, the local tourist office (the old steel works of Voelklingen is an UNESCO world culture heritage since 1994 !) and a small hall for cultural events. A very nice cache ! THX !

This is my lover´s leap in Ludweiler, a small town in the Saarland county, Germany. Here we met and had very nice hours together when we where young. It´s still today a nice, quiet place... 
 
Found this really hot spring near the village Bietzen, part of the city of Merzig in the Saarland county, Germany. It is a thermal spring. The water is transported through a pipeline to the thermal spa in Merzig ("Das Bad"), where you can take a wellness-bath into it.

Fount this artesian well (in German: Quelle) near Merzig in the Saarland (Germany). The water is really drinkable. People come to fill up water for home use. 
 
This old warship is owned by a club in Völklingen (Germany) called "Marine-Kameradschaft". It is an old mine-finding-ship (Minensuchboot) of the German army, and was in duty until 1986. Now his place is in the Saar river near Völklingen. 
 
Fount this really holy srping in Bietzen, a little village near Merzig in Germany. It is a health-water-spring. You can drink this water when feeling sick. It really helps ! You can also take a bath in the warm water a few miles away in the health bath (Thermalbad Merzig). Great ! Thanks for this fine cache ! 
 
This unique pyramid is the new roof of the tower of our fire station. The old roof was a simple horizontal construction, but it has rainid through this roof. So the fire workers decided to let construct a pyramid. Now, the rain keeps out...

This is the public skate park in Voelklingen (Germany), situated near the stadium and the Hermann Neuberger arena. Today was no good weather, so I found no skater there [|)] 
 
This old bandshell is situated in Voelklingen/Germany. It has been built in the early 50´s and was used until about 10 years ago. Seems to be restored, but the owner (city of Voelklingen) has no money... 
 
This is the "Hermann-Neuberger-Halle" in Voelklingen (Germany), hometown of my favourite handball team HSG Voelklingen. Hermann Neuberger was born in Voelklingen and has been president of the German Soccer Federation (DFB).

This birdhouse seems to be really unique ! It looks like the tower of an old castle ! Found it in Ludweiler, part of the city of Voelklingen (Germany). The owner breeds pigeons and has build this extraorinary birdhouse for them. It is still under contruction inside, but the next year, it should be finished, so the owner told me. Very strange, but also funny...

Found this old Roman Bridge in Saarbrücken, the capitol of the Saarland county, one of the 16 counties of Germany. This is the "Römerbrücke", the oldest bridge over the Saar river in Saarbrücken. Politicans once wanted to remove one of the piers to let larger ships pass the river. Fortunately, people could stopp this nonsence...

Found this botanical garden on my way to the black forrest when crossing France. It is situated at Saverne (France). Being on tour with a large group of "muggels", there was no time to visit the parc. But this town is only about 60 miles away from my home, so I will take another daytrip to Saverne in Summer.
