Fördergerüst Schacht 403 WISMUT–Uranbergbau, ein Industriedenkmal in der Gemeinde Löbichau/Altenburger Land
Headframe Shaft 403 WISMUT – uranium mining, an industrial monument in the municipality of Löbichau/Altenburger Land
Zu DDR-Zeiten betrieb die SDAG WISMUT (Sowjetisch-Deutsche-Aktiengesellschaft) viele Gruben zur Förderung von Uranerz für dir UdSSR. Das verstrahlte Gebiet um Ronneburg wurde mit Geldern vom Bund saniert und bis 2007 für die Bundesgartenschau im Rahmen der Resurrektion Aurora (=Auferstehung der Morgenröte) vorbereitet.
*In GDR times, the SDAG WISMUT (Soviet German Stock Corporation) operated many mines to mine uranium ore for the USSR. The contaminated area around Ronneburg was rehabilitated with funds from the federal government and prepared for the federal garden show as part of the Resurrection Aurora (= rise of the dawn) until 2007.
Die Niers ist ein östlicher und rechter Zufluss der Maas in Deutschland und in den Niederlanden. Der Fluss verläuft im linksseitigen Teil der Region Niederrhein zwischen den Flüssen Rhein und dessen Zufluss Maas. Er entspringt in Kuckum und fließt unter anderem durch Geldern und Goch (alle in Nordrhein-Westfalen, um nach Gennep (Provinz Limburg; Niederlande) in die Maas zu münden. Das Einzugsgebiet umfasst 1380,63 Quadratkilometer und wird von 735.000 Menschen bewohnt.
The Niers is an eastern and right tributary of the Meuse in Germany and the Netherlands. The river runs in the left-hand part of the Lower Rhine region between the rivers Rhine and its tributary Maas. It rises in Kuckum and flows through Geldern and Goch (all in North Rhine-Westphalia) to flow into the Meuse to Gennep (province of Limburg; Netherlands). The catchment area covers 1380.63 square kilometers and is inhabited by 735,000 people.
Monschau (French: Montjoie, Walloon: Mondjoye) is a small resort town in the Eifel region of western Germany, located in the district Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia.
On the heights above the city is Monschau castle, which dates back to the 13th century — the first mention of Monschau was made in 1198. Beginning in 1433, the castle was used as a seat of the dukes of Jülich. In 1543, Emperor Charles V besieged it as part of the Geldern Feud, captured it and plundered the town. However, the castle stayed with Jülich until 1609, when it became part of Palatinate-Neuburg.
In 1795, the French captured the area and, under the name Montjoie, made it the capital of a canton of the Roer département. After the area became part of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815, Monschau became the district capital of the Kreis Montjoie.
During World War I, some people argued that Monschau (or "Montjoie" as it was then still called) should be annexed to Belgium since they believed it historically to be a Walloon area that had been Germanized by the Prussians.
In 1918, William II, German Emperor, changed the name to Monschau. In 1972, the town was enlarged with the previous independent municipalities of Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Konzen, Mützenich and Rohren. Mützenich, to the west of the town center, is an exclave of German territory surrounded by Belgium. It is separated from Germany by a railroad line that was assigned to Belgium by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

64.305 was one of the 65 built by Krupps in Essen during 1934. Its first Allocation in 1934 was to Rbd Köln at Geldern Shed. In March 1943 our Class 64 was transferred to Rbd Nürnberg at Würzburg Shed. At the end of World War Two the German Railways were split within East & West Germany. 64305 came under the “Deutsches Bundesbahn” (DB) West Germany State Railway. Between 1964 & 1967 Würzburg Shed closed to steam with the remaining locomotives transferred to Nürnberg shed.
Unlike Britain, steam continued in West Germany into the 1970’s where 64305 by now numbered 064 305-6 for the UIC computer system. Steam was being phased out though and our class 64 was transferred to Weiden shed on 18th March 1974 before final withdrawal on 9th June 1974, although a couple of its shedmates survived until 5th December 1974.
The locomotive was then purchased by a group of members of the Severn Valley Railway and moved to Bridgnorth in 1974. However it proved to be too large to be used on the SVR and was purchased by Richard Hurlock and brought to the Nene Valley Railway in August 1977. A considerable amount of work proved to be necessary to return 64.305 to first class running order and this has been carried out at intervals over the years, culminating in a general repair during 1982-1983.
Op mijn laatste vakantiedag, zondag 19 september, werd naar nevenlijnen in het grensgebied in Duitsland getogen om daar eens foto's te maken. Mijn oog was gevallen op de lijnen Xanten-Duisburg en Kleve-Duisburg.
Het Duitse NordWestBahn onderhoud sinds december 2009 de RE10 tussen Düsseldorf Hbf en Kleve. Deze dienst kent de naam Niers-Express. Doordeweeks wordt er een halfuur dienst aangeboden tussen Düsseldorf en Kleve. In het weekend is er een uursdienst. Tot 1988 was deze spoorlijn nog van internationaal belang van de Austria-Express die via Krefeld, Kleve en Nijmegen naar Amsterdam ging. Hedendaags is de spoorlijn een regionale lijn.
Op deze zondag 19 september zijn er werkzaamheden tussen Kleve en Geldern. Deze duren tot nog in december. Dit vanwege werkzaamheden om het seinwezen te upgraden.
Nadat er aan de lijn naar Xanten foto's waren gemaakt werd in het begin van de avond naar de lijn naar Kleve gereden. Uiteindelijk kwam ik uit in Kerken-Aldekerk. Daar werden een paar treinen opgewacht.
Als RE10 28250 zijn VT 648 425 + 648 439 zojuist vertrokken uit Kerken-Aldekerk richting Geldern.
Datum: 19-9-2021 17:55.
Locatie: Schietweg Kerken-Aldekerk (D).

Another Delft scene from the back of the church and unsure exactly where in town but had to get this shot of one of one of my favorite beers, Hertog Jan from Arcen where I sometimes stay when visiting my companies factory in Geldern Germany, it is a small brewery that really isn’t well known outside of its region except to those lucky to have discovered it.
Whatever your beer pleasure get used to “Tiny Heinies” as we always called them, for a Canadian its like drinking beer shooters so always had to ask for groot beer when you hit the bar.
There are large swathes of Delft completely preserved from its beginnings but also large parts that have been extensively rebuilt like the areas of fire of the 16th century when over 2300 houses, businesses and church properties burned to the ground or during the 17th century a hundred years later a massive gunpowder explosion destroyed a full 1/3 of the city.
I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 42mm 1/20s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

If you thought the color was over the top on my last post of the entrance to the Mary Basilica feast your eyes on the main church interior, a very hard church to capture without a tripod but a slightly higher ISO and some good glass helped to make this shot of a religious rainbow.
The story of the Marien apparitions and this pilgrimage site comes from a merchant that traveled the road between Weeze and Geldern regularly in 1640’s Hendrik Busman.
The story goes that around Christmas in 1641 he stopped as usual to pray at a small cross on the road in Kevelar while praying he heard “ Build me a chapel on this site”, most likely thinking he imbibed to much wine he ignored the voice and kept traveling.
The voice was persistent and he heard it three more time on his travels of which he kept ignoring until his wife had a vision on the following Easter in which she saw a chapel with a portrait of the “Our lady of Luxemburg” inside.
Once the wife was involved things moved quickly and the merchant built the chapel with a portrait just as the wife envisioned and though Hendrik gets all the credit I think Frau Busman deserves most of the praise.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm 0.5s, f/8 ISO 1600 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia curves masks and DXO Nik Color Efex)
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.
Kevelaer is my village of choice to stay at when I have to visit my companies factory in Geldern, while the streets may be complicated to navigate through it is a very beautiful village and home to one the most famous pilgrimage Churches in the region.
I always try to stay around the Basilica as it is in the heart of the Altstadt and after 6 pm when I usually arrive from work there is ample parking when the pilgrims have left for the day, parking can be a considerable problem given that there are over 1 million visitors to the Church every year in a village that has a population of just over 28,000.
On the sacristy side of the church you will find this alcove that leads into the Brunnenhof or the Confessional Chapel, one of my favorite places to photograph and I always try to find some interesting light for a shot of the interior of the courtyard.

Al ongeveer twee maanden stond hij in mijn agenda, de door Westfalendampf georganiseerde sonderzug vanuit het slechts enkele kilometers van de Nederlandse grens gelegen plaatsje Goch naar de kerstmarkt in Königswinter. De trein zou immers gereden worden door de prachtige 218 105 waarbij een diesel van formaat op een spoorlijn zonder waslijn en dan ook nog eens zo dicht bij de Nederlandse grens een echte must have is.
Hoewel de weersvoorspellingen niet veel goeds beloofden werd met enig risico toch de lange reis aangevangen in de hoop dat het minstens droog zou zijn wanneer de trein zou passeren. Het wachten en de heenrit verliepen grotendeels onder donkere luchten en regelmatig forse regenbuien maar met het verstrijken van tijd kwam de gehoopte opklaring toch steeds dichterbij. Vervolgens pas een kwartier voor passage lukte het de zon door te doen breken terwijl die zelfs nog even gestoord werd door wat uit het niets ontstane sluierwolkjes.
Tussen wolken en buien door verscheen de brute diesel precies op het juiste moment in het beeld van het drietal fotografen die hun plaats hadden gevonden tussen Geldern en Kerken waarna als DPE 20395 verder koers gezet werd naar Königswinter. Behalve in Goch was het voor de passagiers mogelijk op te stappen in Kevelaer, Geldern, Aldekerk, Kempen en Krefeld. Voor de ware dieselliefhebber had dit moment niet heel veel beter uit kunnen pakken en bleef het op deze dag één van de weinige zonmomenten tijdens een behoorlijk onstuimige dag.
