House fronts with runnels of colored wax. Peer judge Gaudi, I prefer unfinished cathedrals for myself but sometimes you have to make some concessions to the local syncretisim.

The maestro in person. Full title: Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

do it yourself Hundertwasser house. Lots of ruffles and laces. Very much coffee house style. Nearly Victorian. - The three ceramic isolators are no longer in use.

|  Altes-Rathaus
The arcaded gound floor did once serve as covered extention of the market square. Still the case in a few places. The space is now used for the display of a 'high-tech' 18th century fire truck. Closed at the time but still visible behind the glass panels.
|  Altes-Rathaus
The city hall on a turntable. As long as the car dealerships side does not object.

 Altes-Rathaus
Tentatively: 'running scrolls'. Rather similar ornaments were once a staple in first grade copy books. Ruled top and bottom margins. (Always a danger to overdo that.) The space between projecting floor beams the prefered location.

Waiting in front of the public library. - Older label: 'Frühmesserhaus' (=sexton's house). Free living quarters as part of the total work benefits.

Without peeking, the city council was slightly left of the center when this artwork was commissioned.
|  Plochingen, Brauerei-Waldhorn
Educated guess: 'Gründerjahre'. Will leave the more exact dating to the official guide books. No need to take the bread out of the orphan's mouth.
|  Plochingen, Brauerei-Waldhorn
Brick building with fault lines. Violation of the first law of Vitruvius: Thou shalt not place the apex of your window arch into a force line. Pont du Gard wisdom (light weight top row arches excepted).

The outline of the louvres is somewhat jagged. Effect is due to missing plaster.

Will hardly divulge any military secrets if I reveal that Plochingen is located in the flight corridor to Echterdingen (Munich spoke). You probably could follow the Neckar for the last leg.
