So with only about 4 more Germany posts left I have decided on the next path for this blog. Essentially its going back to the way I started it and what it's been since - a photo blog. "Mostly photography, but probably some randomness thrown in", as it is stated in my description. Mitchell Memorial … Continue reading Mitchell Memorial Forest
In addition to all the buildings, there was a lot of beautiful open space to walk around and explore. Unfortunately as I stated in my first Hessenpark post, I was rushed and it was the end of the day so I had to rush through most of it, I almost didn't make it back to … Continue reading Hessenpark – Outside
Jumping back to Hessenpark to see some of the structures there. These are random, I don't remember any of the back stories to them as I wasn't thinking about showing them in a blog almost a year and a half after the trip! I will just include the link to the website if you want … Continue reading Hessenpark – The buildings
This is a Lutheran church located in Ulm, State of Baden-Württemberg (Germany). It is currently the tallest church in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulm_Minster
Inside the church there is a model of the church built with Lego's. It was built for the chuch's 125 anniversary. I can't really find to much information on it. Next post will be the real church! The Link below is about as much as I could find. http://godbricks.blogspot.com/2015/06/ulm-minster.html
Another beautiful city that needed a ton more time to explore. We hit the major point, Ulm Minster, which is another gorgeous church. That will be in another post, though. Fun fact: Albert Einstein was born in Ulm.
One of the exhibits at Hessenpark is called Flight and Explusion, Refugees were packed into railcars and transported back to Germany. Behind the slats on the wall in the railcar part of the exhibit were monitors that played a video of the view from the car as it was moving along. https://www.hessenpark.de/en/lexikon/dauerausstellungen/vertriebene-in-hessen/ https://www.hessenpark.de/en/lexikon/historische-gebaeude/baugruppe-mittelhessen/scheune-aus-damshausen/
Here are a few shots of some of the insides of some structures that weren't museum exhibits.
So inside some of the buildings are different exhibitions. I mean I guess you can't call yourself a museum without exhibitions, right? Anyway, I wasn't going to post these, as they are behind glass and hard to get a good picture - but I can't convey the experience without including them either! My favorite one … Continue reading Hessenpark – Exibitions
These 3 churches that are in the park are from different eras but silly me forgot to at least write down the information about them. I wasn't thinking about this blog at the time, sorry! Enjoy the pictures though.
