Remscheid, Germany - 4th March 2010

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
the weather is great here at the moment - but it is cold! It was so nice at the weekend but now it is about freezing point.

Katja showed us around in her lunch break.

First I'll show you the city  hall.

There is a large space in front of it, the farmer's market is here twice a week.

Here on this space you can find a pillar with a lion, the heraldic animal of Remscheid.

This is one of the entrances of the shopping mall.

Here you can see the central bus station.

This lorry is a present from Remscheid's twin city Wansbeck in England.

From this bridge I can see the bus station once more.

Here is a little park in the middle of the city.

We walked to another district than, to Hasten,which is one of the oldest districts of the municipal area. Here you can see many of the typical "Bergische Häuser" (hosues of this region). They are often covered with slate or they are also often half-timbered houses.

This is an elementary school.

This park belongs to a museum site. The Patrician villa in the background contains a museum and you can also find the "German Tool Museum" here. Im Remscheid tools are produced since middle ages.

In the garden you can find some large machines.

Remscheid is surrounded by large forests with deep valleys.

Than we had to return to work, but this time we took the bus to get back to the city centre.

Bye
Wolle
