De Straßenbahn Esslingen-Nellingen-Denkendorf bij aankomst in Esslingen, 1977. Etwas altmodisch was ook toen al het gebruik van straatspijkers
Straßenbahn Esslingen-Nellingen-Denkendorf on arrival at Esslingen. The use of 'street nails' for guiding road users was already out of time when I took this picture in 1977
Esslinger Fortress
It towers above the historical old town of Esslingen on the Neckar with its characteristic silhouette of high watchtower, rope maker passage and thick tower - and, yet, was at no time a fortress. Knights and princesses never lived on the Esslingen Fortress because it was only the part of the impressive city fortification which was the furthest north. In the year 1314 it was first mentioned in documents and the fortification of the imperial city of Esslingen was expanded upon in the years 1519 to 1531. The thick tower was built in 1527 but didn't receive its roof until 1887 after the model of the Nuremberg fortress towers. In the years 1976/77 the thick tower and the outside parts of the fortress were renewed from the ground up for the 1200th anniversary of the city.
One of the principal churches in Esslingen, St.Dionys is located in the heart of town at the market square.
The Royal Württemberg stud farm was founded in 1810 by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg in the royal summer residence at Scharnhausen, the Scharnhausen mansion. The Arab horses were imported directly from Damascus, Syria with the help of Baron von Fechting and the Polish Count Rzewusky.
The stock quickly increased by 1816 and new farms were procured in 1817 in Kleinhohenheim and Esslingen-Weil. The biggest farm became Esslingen-Weil.
In 1818, the King had Giovanni Salucci (1769-1845, Salucci became architect of the royal court in 1815) built the Weil Mansion.
The famous horse racecourse was sold and split in garden plots and farming area after the abolition of the kingdom on 30 November 1918. When Wilhelm II passed away in 1921, the farms were given to Princess Pauline of Württemberg, by marriage Princess of Wied, including both mansions in Scharnhausen and Wied.
The Princess was relatively successful but the economic situation after WWI, the Great Depression, made it very difficult to finance the royal farms. In 1932, the Princess was forced to cease operations.
The mansions of Scharnhausen and Weil, including the farm-areas were sold. Unfortunately, the city of Esslingen and neither the state of Baden-Württemberg did show (and are not showing) interest in saving the important history of the places and its remains.
After WWII, many private houses were built on the ground in Weil, even very close to the mansion. The former Royal Estates (residence in Scharnhausen and pavilion in Weil) are today in private hands and therefore not accessible to public. Without these private investors, probably nothing would have remained. The stables in Weil were broken down or were rebuilt to serve as cheap housing (e.g. accommodating asylum seekers). The stables in Scharnhausen have remained.
No information sign, no museum reminds of the importance the place in Esslingen-Weil once had, for Württemberg and the European horse breeding.
This is the "Fischbrunnen" (for the english speaking: fish fountain, as I think) in Esslingens little historic city centre. It was quite late and I tried to do this shot free handed. Worked good at 8mm and ISO1250, 2 of 4 shots were useable. To emphasize the atmosphere I darkened the sky manually despite of quality issues. Hope you like the work and the unusual and strong perspective!
