Uelzen in May picdump # 2 (58)
Part 1.
What could be more interesting than looking at scores of pictures of a town with all of 35k inhabitants? Especially since there is little that is actually worth the visit in Uelzen unless you are a rabid Friedensreich Hundertwasser fan (and there aren't that many of those out there). I do love the little chapels that are there, though, and the old buildings. Since not many things were destroyed in the wars, there are still many buildings which are several hundred years old, old churches, old headstones, old schools.
It's a shame that it was closed, I would have liked to take a peek inside and see more than I could through the barred windows.
I love the Ratsteich. I think that one day I'll try to get myself to go to one of the cafés on the banks, it must be great, especially in the evening.
There are really interesting headstones around the church, most of them of clergy and their families, and some of them of city notables. Especially the ones from the seventeenth century are fascinating.
I LOVE that school. It's SO beautiful - especially compared to my school, which was an ugly, uniform building from the seventies that looked more or less exactly like the four other grammar schools in cycling distance which were also a product of the suburban flight in the seventies. Nothing compared to this pretty building.
