The Imperial Palace of Goslar (German: Kaiserpfalz Goslar) is a historical building complex at the foot of the Rammelsberg hill in the south of the town of Goslar north of the Harz mountains, central Germany. It covers an area of about 340 by 180 metres and stands. The palace grounds originally included the Kaiserhaus, the old collegiate church of St. Simon and St. Jude, the palace chapel of St. Ulrich and the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche). The Kaiserhaus, which has been extensively restored in the late 19th century, was a favourite imperial residence, especially for the Salian emperors. As early as the 11th century, the buildings of the imperial palace had already so impressed the chronicler Lambert of Hersfeld that he described it as the "most famous residence in the empire". Since 1992, the palace site, together with the Goslar's Old Town and the Rammelsberg has been a UNESCO world heritage site.

The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.
Displayed here is the Maus Castle the Jerry of the Katz and Maus castle duo, it was started in the mid 14th century by the Archbishop of Triers after securing rights to charge tolls along his portion of the Rhine.
The construction took 30 years to complete and it was due to this long period of construction that the name Burg Maus was bestowed by the Count of Katz castle who said with ridicule “ That Burg Maus was the mouse that would be eaten by the Cat (Burg Katz) “ the name caught on with the locals and has been known this way ever since.
The castle unlike its neighbors got the last laugh as it was never destroyed by combat but instead slipped in a slow state of decline beginning in the 16th century later to be restored by Wilhelm Gärtner in the start of the 20th century to great historical detail.
Today the castle is host to a large aviary that provides falconry displays and also flight demonstrations of owls and eagles from March to October.

Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.

Bacharach, Germany
The Postenturm,
Once part of the Bacharacher city fortification, is now a popular lookout tower. Surrounded by vineyards, it offers a great view of the city, the opposite Wernerkapelle and the castle Stahleck.
The Werner Chapel
The ruins of a high Gothic central building in the vineyards above the Peterskirche used to be a much visited pilgrimage chapel. It was built shortly after 1287.
The reason for the construction was the murder of a boy Werner, whose body had been found in the Holy Week in 1287.
Death was blamed without any proof of the Jewish community of Oberwesel. The result was an unbridled persecution of the Jews, in which over 40 people died.
Because of this pogrom, a chapel consecrated to this Werner was erected.
Peter Church
The architecture of St. Peter's Church shows the transition from the late Rhine Romanesque to the Gothic style.
The church was built in the period from the end of the 12th century to 1269 as a three-aisled gallery basilica and renewed at the end of the 19th century.

A Zwinger a drezdai barokk építőművészet csúcspontja, melyet a szobrászművészet remekeivel díszített pavilonok, galériák öveznek. Építése Erős Ágost választófejedelem nevéhez fűződik 1711-től 1722-ig, aki XIV. Lajost a Napkirályt utánozva csodálatos épületeket és tereket hozott létre.
A Zwinger végső formáját a XIX. században nyerte el. Az épület lezárásaként Képtárat építettek, így keletkezett az érett olasz reneszánsz stílusát idéző kétemeletes épület, amely 1854-ben nyílt meg. Láthatók itt többek között Raffaello, Tiziano, Correggio, Veronese, van Eyck, Rubens, Rembrandt, Holbein, és Dürer képei, rajzai. Többszöri restauráláson átesett világhírű műemlékegyüttest 1945-ben bombatalálat érte, a háború után azonban gyorsan hozzáfogtak újjáépítéséhez.
Diese Boots sind schon ein wenig älter (ca. 15Jahre) und die Sohlen / Absätze haben es hinter sich.
Aber wegschmeißen? Nein möchte ich nicht.
Ersatzboots hatte ich mir bereits gekauft, aber die haben den ersten Winter schon nicht überstanden.
Mal sehen, ob ich einen Schuster oder Schusterin in der Nähe finde. Entstanden ist das Foto bei einer Minichallenge mit Tobi!
