We arrived at Hauptkirche Sankt Michaelis a bit too early before their opening time, luckily for me, Michiel is very good in finding nearby places to explore. We ended up visiting the Kramer-Witwen-Wohnung (Grocer Widow's apartment) museum.
Partial and edited quote from their web site:
shmh.de/en/kramer-widows-apartment
"The „Krameramt“ was the Guild of the Shopkeepers, whose statutes date back to 1375. They had their permanent stalls or shops in the city and traded mainly in spices, silk and iron wares.
In 1676 the wealthy guild built these houses to provide room for the widows of its members. The guild’s aim was to re-accommodate the widows and hence to vacate premises for new members in the shops. A plaque on the wall facing the land gives the date of construction as 1676 and indicates that the houses were a charitable foundation.
The living area of each widow is divided in two storeys. There is a small living-room with a kitchen on the ground floor. The upper floor consists of a living-room with sewing table and a sleeping accommodation. On the top floor is a drying loft with a clotheshorse attached to the outside of the window facing the lane. Furthermore, the loft was needed for the supply with wood and carbon. Water pipes were not installed until the end of the 19th century. In the previous time they used two water pumps.
By today's standard this apartment appears tiny, with minimal space and amenities but according to the circumstances at this time it was a quite comfortable and progressive arrangement.
An old time clock complete with time cards in an old abandoned manufacturing plant. How many of you can remember punching a card before and after shift? I can, back in the '70s. There were no computers or smartphones back then.

The World Clock (Weltzeituhr) in Berlin is a prominent landmark located in Alexanderplatz, unveiled in 1969 as part of the square’s redesign during the GDR era. Designed by Erich John, the clock features a cylindrical structure with a rotating display of 24 time zones, representing cities from around the world, and a solar system model atop it. Today, it serves as a popular meeting spot and a symbol of Berlin’s dynamic, interconnected history.
Christian Ackermann
Last quarter of the seventeenth century.
Church of the Holy Spirit
Tallinn, Estonia
Christian Ackermann was born in Königsberg. He worked in Riga, Stockholm, and Gdańsk, before becoming active in Tallinn from about 1672 until his death in 1710. In 1675, Ackermann moved to Tallinn and acquired his own workshop. He probably died either in 1710 or a short time later from plague.
Christian Ackermann was one of the greatest masters of the Baroque style in Estonia. He brought strong Central European influences to Northeast Europe, in particular the motifs of the Baroque and masterful Acanthus ornaments.
The Clock Tower of Cardiff Castle from Bute Park. Looking particularly fine since it's recent restoration during which it made the news when someone climbed the scaffolding to steal the clock hands!
Designed by the Gothic Revival architect William Burges.
