Castle Excavation179 viewsOn the Plattenberg on a hilltop this excavation is underway to uncover the ruins of a small castle. Only a small portion of the castle has been uncovered but there are some speculative sketches of what it may have looked like. The location seemed odd to me as it was not at the highest peak in the area nor did it command a strategic location. The ruins date from the mid 1200's. The casle was built mostly of red sandstone - much of which was likely pilfered to make the homes and foundations of buildings in Kleinwallstadt.Jul 29, 2006

Bahnhof150 viewsThe train station at Kleinwallstadt appears to have been converted to apartments. It has been surmised that with the automation of ticket vending the station may no longer have been necessary. The train from Aschaffenburg stops here.Jul 29, 2006

Neuer Friedhof Kleinwallstadt191 viewsNew cemetery in Kleinwallstadt. Many Rittger's and other descendants of Christmann Rittger are buried in this cemetery. I visited this site four times on my trip and was amazed at the attention and care that is given to the upkeep of each grave. Relatives regularly visit the graves to water the flowers, trim the foliage and keep things tidy. Every time I visited there were 2-3 other people or families maintaining their loved one's plot.Jul 29, 2006

Home on Haugegasse132 viewsI found this home interesting as it was an old half-timber frame home that was renovated to include windows at the upper story amid the wood framework. Jul 25, 2006

You make the call!152 viewsWalking down Haugegasse I caught a glimpse over a wall of this building in the back and couldn't figure out if the wall was detached, detaching, under construction or falling apart as it appeared to me to be disconnected from the roof above it. I must say this is one of my favorite photos as it includes so many building materials, techniques and time periods (the satellite dish is a nice anachronistic touch) and an enigma all in one photo.
