Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church

by Brian Reynolds

After the photo trip was done Liz and I stayed on in Berlin so we could visit where her mother grew up.

This is Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The building in the cneter was built by Kaiser Wilhelm II in the late 19th century, and named in honor of his grandfather Kaiser Wilhelm I. This church was heavily damaged during an Allied bombing raid in WWII. Today it is a memorial hall, and contains a Cross of Nails made from the roof timber nails of Conventry Cathedral in the UK . The building on the left is the new church built after the war.

Jaguar

While walking into the center of town to visit the local museum my younger daughter and I came across this very nice Jaguar parked in the middle of the town square. Unfortunately it was not parked in a way that would allow me to get the town fountain and the museum in the background. Later, when we got out of the museum, the car was gone.

Based on Google translate, this building is apparently student housing for a fraternity associated with the university in Heidelberg. It is right next to Heidleberg Castle, where I was standing when I took this photo. I guess I went to the wrong university.

Schloss Schramberg Ruins

 

These are the ruins of the castle on the hill above the town of Schramberg, Germany. My wife’s maternal Grandfather was from Schramberg, and we have a photo of him from almost 100 years ago sitting on the edge of the ruins with the town down below in the background.
