In memory of the WWI fallen Kettlerer neighborhood residents, named for the beloved Mainz Bishop Kettlerer and in honor of his tremendous social outreach; we paused quite a while at this site on the edge of the Kettlerer neighborhood

 

To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

Mainz, Germany – 2017NOV05 – Ketteler Neighborhood:

 

We strolled through the Ketteler Neighborhood in Mainz-Oberstadt, named in honor of the German theologian and politician who served as Bishop of Mainz. He resolved to consecrate his life to maintaining the cause of the freedom of the Church from the control of the State, bringing him into collision with the civil power, an attitude which he maintained throughout a stormy and eventful life.

 

We then walked through the site of Fort Weisenau, exercise that did us good on such a damp day with its dreary weather.

 

The best 36 of 142 photos from this layover are a 5-album set:
