Bone mill and "Roman aqueduct". The buildings are part of Schwetzingen Palace Gardens, even if they stand outside of the fence. The Mill was built from 1762 to 1765. The bones were crushed to get bone flour which was used either to produce animal glue or fertiliser. The water course in front is called "Leimbach" which means animal glue-beck. The "Roman aqueduct" was built by Nicolas de Pigage from 1779 to 1780. It is actually transporting water from the mill to the garden and is supposed to look Italian.

At the southern end of the Old Bridge (Alte Brücke) in Heidelberg stands the Bridgegate (Brückentor). It is substantially medieval. The two towers were built in the 15-century and were integrated in the city walls. People had to pay bridge toll when they entered Heidelberg. In case of attackers the gate was closed. The bridge toll existed until 1878 when the New Bridge („Neue Brücke“, today Theodor-Heuss-Brücke) was built.

In 1709-1711 the gate was modified to give it a more "modern" id est baroque look.

The right tower was used as a dungeon with three prison cells while there is a spiral staircase in the left tower. The staircase leads to the habitation of the bridge guardian.

Flower pot ornaments on the Nördlicher Zirkelbau (northern arc building) in the Schlossgarten Schwetzingen. Got to prove from time to time, that German words can be endlessly long.
