1 Hundertwasser Viertel Fourposter (new) and Market Square (old)
2 Hundertwasser Viertel Faraday Fourposter (personal tag). The four golden spheres are vacuum 'filled'. Lift off will take place at any moment.
3 Hundertwasser Viertel half timbered, copper sheeted and Hundertwasser style
4 Hundertwasser Viertel
5 Hundertwasser Viertel 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.
6 Hundertwasser-Viertel
7 Hundertwasser-Viertel the gable line is barock, everything else is open to interpretation
8 Hundertwasser-Viertel atardecer
9 Hundertwasser-Viertel The maestro in person. Full title: Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
10 Plochingen 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.
11 Plochingen sitting on the steps
12 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.
13 Altes-Rathaus The city hall on a turntable. As long as the car dealerships side does not object.
14 Altes-Rathaus wrong zoom
15 Altes-Rathaus pegged and dovetailed
16 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. Ornametal frieze (similar location)
17 Altes Rathaus High tech fire truck with iron shoed pivot ring. Anno 1800.
18 Marktpatz Fischbrunnen
19 Marktplatz Fischbrunnend and Haus 'Grüner Baum' with scaled up door chimes.
20 Marktplatz Fischbrunnen and willow
21 Altes Badstuben-Haus Historic hot tub house. You will always find a hot tub house if you follow the Halloween pumpkins. Law of nature.
22 Marktplatz, Ottilienkapelle
23 Marktplatz, Ottilienkapelle sundial with flaking bronze paint
24 Marktplatz Waiting in front of the public library. - Older label: 'Frühmesserhaus' (=sexton's house). Free living quarters as part of the total work benefits.
25 Plochingen Arched doorway. The corner niches are for milk bottles. The local milkman gives them a big thumbs up.
26 Neues-Rathaus
27 Neues-Rathaus Without peeking, the city council was slightly left of the center when this artwork was commissioned.
28 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.
29 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).
30 Kirchberg-Friedhof The outline of the louvres is somewhat jagged. Effect is due to missing plaster.
31 Kirchberg-Friedhof church portal with empty apex niche
32 Kirchberg-Friedhof war memorial framed with crimson red Virginian creepers.
33 Kirchberg-Friedhof
34 Kirchberg-Friedhof half obliterated death skull
35 Plochingen Commemorative plaque, market square. Somewhat related with the church yard memorial. Standard Linné syntax.
36 Plochingen, Jägerhaus old door lintel, uncracked
37 Plochingen Round window against Betula pendula Youngii
38 Plochingen 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.
