Remscheid, Germany - 17th March 2010

By: olgamaus

Hi Mummy,
Katja took me, Wendy and Wolle with her in the morning when she went to her workplace. She told me that she is working in a law firm. Today the weather is really good so went out for a walk when Katja finished work.

This is the city hall. Its tower is 48 m high.

We went through the shopping street than. Here you can see the main entrance of the shopping mall.

At the end of the shopping street you find a place where a farmer's market is held twice a week.

Close to the central station you can find many industrial plants.

Katja showed us a special path for pedestrians and cyclists: The Route of Tools. This is a path built on a closed railway track. It is about 5 km long and it is connecting the central station with the district Hasten. You can walk along this path with getting into contact with too much traffic. Of course you have to cross some streets.

This path was sponsored by local tool producing companies, that's why it is called "Route of Tools". Tools are produced here in Remscheid since middle ages.

Here you can see signs with the logos of some of the sponsoring companies.

Here you can see the former slaughterhouse. This building complex is under monument protection nowadays.

All along the route you can find industrial buildings. Some are still used, others are dilapidated.

We had to cross the street here.

Here are more logo signs.

Katja showed me this special pelican crossing. The green man is the one which was used in the former German Democratic Republic. This is the only traffic light in the city showing this special green man.

We went home than.

Bye
Captain Caramel
