Eisenberg

So I had some free time over spring break, and I hopped on a train (or 2...there was a transfer) to Eisenberg. Unfortunately I went in March so it wasn't that great of weather and the churches weren't open, but the shops were! I went in one shop that reminded me a bit of Vidler's if it had just been bigger. :)


I got really excited when I had seen this trailer. I loved used book shops! but then I walked to the other side and it was pretty much a book shelf covered by a tent. Looked kinda sketchy...and the books were in German anyways, so I just continued onwards.

And what town would be complete without a car dealership? And this is probably the reason why Eisenberg is listed as a point on the map...the VW dealership and repair shop :)

Old city Wall...or just a retaining wall..you decide. It's not like there was a sign on it :p  But you could definitely see the difference between "Altstadt" and the new parts

There are a lot of head statues in Germany...I think the only thing that could possibly make head statues better is if they could talk. Perhaps in tongues. (or just have multiple language choices...that'd work too)

City hall! Always very clearly labeled, lol

Lots of these doors are very large and makes me wonder if they were originally stables--especially considering Eisenberg is known for its horses (and it's town crest is 3 horseshoes)

But I love the wood inlays on this door

Church!

Across from the church there was a very nice little garden with statue...unfortunately Germany isn't having the best of weather this year, but it was still pretty :)

I so wanted to go on this slide, but it looked extremely narrow, and I probably would have gotten stuck. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing!

The town crest

The Catholic Church...unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on all around it, so it wasn't open.

Some very fun statues...they may have been dedicated only in 1998-1999, but I like them. :)

And for the Hartmann's...their very own truck

Now this is a lot of solar panels...I wonder how much electricity they actually produce? They probably would have been better off with wind

A random neighborhood close to the train station that I was walking around

More trees with the eggs (this was just before Easter!)

The crests on the side of some building...just to prove I actually was in Eisenberg and just didn't take random pictures from other small towns :p

And then I hopped on the train and went back to Mannheim.
