Driving by the Dortmunder U

Taken from the bus – The Dortmunder U

From Wikipedia: The Dortmund U-Tower is a brewery building in the city of Dortmund, Germany. It was the first skyscraper of Dortmund, built in 1926-1927. The high-rise Union Brewery used this building for the fermentation and storage of their products. In 1994 the brewery and all its surrounding buildings were closed and demolished, only the Dortmund U-Tower was spared due to having landmark status. In January 2008 the Dortmund U-Tower was decided to be redeveloped as a flagship project for the "Ruhr 2010 - Cultural Capital of Europe".

Just a spring day in Lünen

The river Lippe is runnung through Lünen

It was just an ordinary work day. And I had my camera with me. And the weather was fantastic. Monday means I have to walk a bit between different work places, so that's for me the opportunity to see, to stand still and open my eyes.
And I walked another way along the river Lippe.
When I say this pictures on the computer I realy felt the need to keep on blogging. I don't know how often, but here it is.

Wordless Wednesday

Signs from a famous German town

 Guess where is this? We are walking back to the train.
I shot while walking. It came out better than expected. So here for you.

Is it easy for you to solve this riddle? What about you living not in Europe. Have you been here?

My visit was just for one day, not for sightseeing. I lived and studied here some years. I was surprised of the many tourists. Maybe it hasn't changed, but I look different now.

That's a very famous sign

If you visit this town, you will see this

ABC Wednesday - D



The Danube River in Passau, Germany



Alleys of the old town, "Zur blauen Donau" is a name of a restaurant and means "at the blue Danube"



The town is dominated by the Veste Oberhaus a former fortress of the Bishop, on the mountain crest between the Danube and the Ilz rivers

This is my ABC Wednesday for the letter D. It's the Danube River. Passau is the city of three rivers.

More from my posts from the Danube.

Berlin Hauptbahnhof

The new main station

Berlin, April 2012

Linked to ABC Wednesday. T is for train spotter. And this is the place for them.
O. k. the truth is: first my choice was train station. But I looked and this is just a station. There is no t.

Typical German

Power station harbor at the Datteln-Hamm-Kanal

The canal, May 2012

Around five kilometers from home. Beside this industry it is a quite and nice area along this canal. It's typical German to look for a niche in a very populated area.
