Ebringen and its vineyards...
This village is one of many lovely wine villages in my region, situated along the 'Baden wine- route'.
It is located about 5 km (3 mi) south of Freiburg and belongs to the Freiburg metropolitan area.
Surrounded by meadows, forests and in the middle of vineyards it is a very nice place.
The entire area of the municipality is located in the Schönberg range, foothills of the Black Forest, which is geologically a part of the Rhine Rift Valley. The Schönberg is characterized by a very diverse surface geology from all periods of the Mesozoic, Paleogene volcanism and glacial löss deposits.Ebringen is known for the oldest recorded viticulture between Freiburg and Basel.
Viticulture has most likely been present since the Roman era in the first century AD, as ruins of a Roman grange were found in the Ebringen area.the earliest written record for viticulture dates from the early 8th century.
The Markgräflerland (Baden) is well known for its Chasselas grapes.(Gutedel in German)

This building with the Florentine loggia is the former palais urbain built for Ignaz Graf von Törring-Jettenbach and also a former post office.
Originally built 1747 to 1754 in Rococo style for the above mentioned count Törring-Jettenbach, it was modified many times.
1835 to 1838 the Florentine loggia was added while at about the same time the building was made the main post office.
Mostly destroyed in World War II, the interior was not reconstructed. After the post office moved out in 2009 all not listed parts of the building were demolished, only the loggia with its arcades remained. Now there is upscale shopping and a café.

The current Fischertor city gate was built in 1924, after demolishing the remains of a gate in this place dating to 1609.
The 1609 gate was actually a modification of a 1328 gate. The 1609 gate was nearly completely destroyed in 1703 during the War of the Spanish Succession, slowly rebuilt, but closed in 1770 due to lack of traffic.
As you can see from my middle-of-the-road point of view, there is still not too much traffic in 2022... 😁

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.
Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...
The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

The tiny town of Beilstein (or perhaps we ought to call it a village - in 2019 the place had 124 inhabitants), dating back to around 800, with its big Baroque church St. Josef. The church was built as a church for the Carmelites, at around 1700. Later the church was turned over into a parish church. The castle was destroyed by French troops in 1689 and turned to ruins.
And the river Moselle (in German - and Swedish - Mosel) in the foreground.

An after midnight panorama taken at a (at daytime) rather busy intersection of 5 roads:
淮海中路 Huaihai Middle Road
武康路 Wukang Road
兴国路 Xingguo Road
余庆路 Yuqing Road
天平路 Tianping Road

And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - most Chinese tags do cause flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in the following tags.
This is the Landständehaus (aka Landschaftshaus), which served as the meeting venue for the Landstände, an ancient kind of parliament. The colorful facade dates to 1599 and shows important personalities from the House of Wittelsbach.
After the dissolution of the Landstände in the early 19th century the building was used as a post office - hence the name "Alte Post".
