Of the 3 churches I went though, this was the smallest. It was still quite beautiful though. Impressively it was only church in Frankfurt to survive that only received minor damage in World War 2 from allied bombings. I'm not sure why I don't have many close up shots from outside here, but I do … Continue reading Frankfurt Cathedral
These are various shots that should have been included in the other posts but got missed because I had so many darn pictures!

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.
