Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
I can't quite make out what it is this crow was working on, but there was obviously some skill and patience involved. I was just able to grab a quick shot while holding Blanca with my left hand. She wanted to chase the crow, and the crow knew it but was reluctant to abandon the prize and waited till the last moment before flying off with it.
I was experimenting with Technic panels and this little craft appeared. I'm not sure if it's a spaceship or anti-grav flyer.
There are some more views on Instagram. I'm quite proud of fitting the engine into the tail!
Laurel posing for Technical Round 0
Hopefully I'll get into the main 20!
Here is the full body pose for y'all to look at properly:
Hope you like, I particularly like her cable/wire thingy in her back hehe
well, geographically this shouldn't be in my "Bremerhaven" set. But I re-visited this place while staying there...
HLD7738 op terugweg vanuit Eeklo naar Melle TW met HLD6041 - HLD5404 - TEE rijtuig en helemaal achteraan bengelend HLE1503.
Al deze treinen waren te zien tijdens het stoomtreinfestival 2022 van Malgedem en zullen nu terug veilig opgeborgen worden in de bewaarplaats van Trainworld te Melle.

Okay, technically it should be Rainforest Dweller but that just doesn't have the same ring....
This is the newest addition to my private jungle and the most expensive Orchid I have ever bought. I should have been suspicious when they didn't have prices on them....
Technically at Gamper bay between Sennen and Land's End, this is the wreck of RMS Mulheim, which ran aground on 22nd March 2003, losing its cargo of plastic. The circumstances of the loss are a little unusual to say the least!
From Wikepedia:
"On investigation, it was discovered that the chief officer—who had been on watch at the time—had caught his trousers in the lever of his chair when trying to get up, causing him to fall and rendering him unconscious. By the time he regained consciousness, RMS Mülheim was already bearing down on the shoreline."
Watch your step! I felt it looked like the huge waves of storm Ophelia had resurrected the old Wreck to get her to sail once more. Quite a spectacle from the cliffs.
Modern techniques make everything look more and more the same but the soul lies in the eyes.
First time I worked on a RL photo.
