Bruegel barn, Weinstadt-Endersbach
Barn with leaky roof and dish antenna. Foreground: Viburnum rhytidophyllum (Leatherleaf arrowwood) and Laurel Cherry (some horticultural brochures make it Cherry Laurel). Both everygreens.

Bruegel barn, Weinstadt-Endersbach
The classic Bruegel barn (of the synoptic Proverbs) comes with tarts on the roof and playing cards sailing out of side window. Not to mention sharp shooters on the warpath. Can just offer the half timbered structure. The divided gable window and the hipped roof are however enduring features.

Most likely a gaudy combination of anti-Dracula ward and Celtic head hunter trophy. Loan rendition 'fright head'. Some barn door parallels.

Inscribed roof tiles, grammer is glamor, even the ABC will do, belong in the same period.

half timbered and pegged. (The only thing missing is the circus tent and the knife thrower. - The long high noon shadows are some counter intuitive.)

All purpose crusher. Might even work for olives. Shortcomings: the egress hole has been plugged and the 'capstan' part for turning the thing has been removed. Standard Mark Twain precaution. Temptation to put in a few work hours might otherwise be just irresistible.

Walled up gate behind the church, possibly a former lichgate. The ground level has been raised.

Weinstadt-Endersbach, Käppele
Pilgrimage chapel before the reformation, seculare bad weather shelter afterwards. Similar chapels were often used as quarry for parish church repairs (to rob Peter). Did also serve as lodging for game keepers and shepherds. The last squatter held out till the early 50ties (20th century). Post war housing crunch.

If it was once a pilgrim chapel it will have been subdivided into a public access part and a devotional viewing area. Possibly separated by some kind of trellis work. (Highly conjectural, starting or end point of a 13th century Via Dolerosa.)

'Käppele' is a diminutive of 'chapel'.

Restored mid 50ties crucifix. Existentialistic interpretation. Strongly doubt that the 15th century original did look anything like it. Add a false color picture to show the problem. Off-heand: Caesar after a crushing victory by Vercingetorix (alternative history), Dutchman's lost mine. Hamlet even. Certainly a stylistic break. Transparency rather than triumph.
