Wheelie Bins
In front of the listed "Kathanhaus" in Augsburg
The Kathanhaus is a town house with magnificent rococo façade painting, the original of which was created in the mid-18th century. What we see here, however, is merely a replica of the original from 1960 - 1961.
By then, the condition of the façade painting had become so bad that parts of the façade were falling off and action was needed. But instead of preserving the original substance as much as possible, as is usual nowadays, it was completely replaced.
