Travelog for: Mo

Back in Uetze. Wow, this was a strenuous day.

Wow, one more TV arrived today! We are a big family now.

... oh, there are two TVs!   Owen H.M-Fips and Bernie R.G.Bear, they come from Trinidad and Tobago.

We helped baking american cookies today. The cookies were very sweet, but delicious.

It was such a lovely weather today, so my host decided to show us TVs Uetze a little bit.
First station was the Junkernhof. It is the oldest building in Uetze. The Junkernhof was build 1635 from the family von Uttensen. Uetze was called "Utisson" (1022) and "Utessem" (1215) in the past. These names are deduced from the name von Uttensen. So the building had a great impact on the village.
So here is the Junkernhof and a stone next to the two-storey half-timber house.

The next station was the river Fuhse. The Fuhse is a stream of Lower Saxony, a left tributary of the Aller. The Fuhse originates on the west slope of the Oderwald, foothills of the Harz range between Bad Harzburg und Wolfenbüttel. The source spring lies in the municipality of Flöthe near Schladen. From there the Fuhse flows west of Salzgitter. It turns to the north and flows through Peine, Dollbergen and Uetze to Celle. In Celle (borough Neustadt) it joins the Aller. The most important tributary is the Erse, that joins the Fuhse at Uetze.
There were two ducks on the river. Unfortunately, we had no bread with us... Maybe next time?

There is also a very nice bridge over the Fuhse. ^^

Here you can see the "Neuer Garten". It is a part of the Junkernhof. In former days, it was a restaurant. Today, you can buy it.

The church is called "Johannes-der-Täufer-Kirche". It was built in 1867. The tower is 65 m high.
The predecessor was built in 1837, but it was destroyed in 1863 by a great fire. A stone reminds the people.

We went by bicyle by the way.

After our trip through Uetze, we relaxed in the garden.

Krtecek leaves us today. We are a little bit sad, but he will travel back to Paris to his mummy! Have fun in Paris.

We went to Göttingen once more.
It was a very nice day: sun and a blue sky.

On this picture you can see the town's landmark: the "Gänseliesel". The Gänseliesel (English: Goose Girl, Goose Lizzy (Liesel as pet name of Elisabeth)) is a fountain which was erected in 1901 in front of the mediaeval town hall of Göttingen, Germany. Although rather small in size, the fountain is the most well-known landmark of the city. Today, it is an essential part of the graduation celebrations for every student who finishes a doctorate at the George August University Göttingen to climb the fountain and to kiss the statue of the goose girl. The Gänseliesel is the most kissed virgin of the world. It is forbitten now to kiss her, but tradition is tradition.

This is a very small guy. Unfortunately I forgot his name, but he was a physicist in Göttingen and became famous for his work.

We went to the botanic garden once more. The last time everything looked so brown and grey, but now we could see some flowers.
