WISMAR *Northern Germany

For introduction to Wismar:

FYI:  Wismar:

•  Still considered as "East Germany" (by "West Germans)
•  Almost totally transformed into rubble by bombs
•  Close to Denmark and the Baltic Sea
•  Selected to be restored and is titled as a World Heritage site by UNESCO
•  Natural harbor

A beautiful and colourful stone-paved street in Wismar, Germany, leading to the old harbour area.

 

Ruin of St. Mary, once the main parish church of Wismar. Heavy damages in World War II and the demolition of the nave in 1960 only left the tower, standing 82.5m high.

Reuter's Restaurant






The statues here in front were restored due to monies collected from my brother-in-law's firm. (There is an inscribed plaque.)





She's working on my beer!!!


I think I prefer the foam here to the one on my cappuchino!

My first Wienerschnitzel topped with egg
