1 Untertürkheim downtown somewhat distorted, narrow street handicap
2 Untertürkheim downtown
3 Untertürkheim downtown Plaque commemorating the removal of the roughcast. The half timbered look was apparently not always equally popular.
4 Untertürkheim, Neuer Friedhof Runic syntax. Crib for the death rune, an upturned wine-cup. I strongly doubt if Eric the Red could have made head or tail of them.
The use of life and death runes was a temporary fad of the early 40ties. By and large restricted to newspaper announcement, birth and obituary section. More prevalently the latter as the war dragged on. Never common with headstones. Actually the only one I came across. Can pose a minor consistency problem. The hopeful NCO dies in 1942, true believer headstone, the widow survives him by half a century. Easiest way out would probably have been a completely new marker. Conjugal piety would on the other hand demand that the blank spaces be filled out in accordance with the original plan. Classic dilemma. Can obviously not rule out some deliberate spitefulness.

10 Untertuerkheim Neckar-route Inselbad Of course you can swim in the Neckar. Only requirement, donning a dog costume first.
11 Untertuerkheim Neckar-route Inselbad between a Daimler workshop and a river. The mirrors are merely for amusement. Fun house thing. You can even make faces.

The title of Daimler Town goes to Schorndorf (birth place). Stuttgart-Untertürkheim has just company headquarters status.

25 Untertürkheim, Mönchberg the cone of the Mönchberg against a backddrop of Mercedes installations
26 Untertürkheim, Mönchberg Bragg angle landscape with solitary vine-dresser. Spitzweg motive. Either that or just the blown up key gear of a mechanical typewriter.
27 Untertürkheim You probably could do some train spotting.
28 Untertürkheimk Proximity between the Mercedes office building (central pay offices I believe) and the gas works storage tanks somewhat enhanced. Actually other side of the Neckar. Still rather too close for comfort. Glass house paradigm of sorts.
