Old house in Maulbronn, Germany, 1986Driving home from a long excursion, it was getting too late to continue driving, so I decided to sleep in the car.  When I woke up from the first sunrays, I realized that had parked in front of his old house. Opened Berlin Wall, December 1989In October 1989, I decided to stay in Berlin for New Year's Eve 1989.  I had booked transportation and accomodation only days before the first news from the gap in the Wall reached me on November 9.  Now I was there in the middle of Berlin and experienced world history first-hand and hands-on - I helped the wall peckers. Traffic light at house wall, Haigerloch, Germany, 1984In Haigerloch, a village in a deep valley of the river Eyach, on certain spots, there is not much room for streets and traffic signs, so this traffic light was directly mounted to a house wall.

High-rise buildings in Berlin, 1990The dusk was just falling when I strolled around Berlin's central railway station, waiting for my train.  The cloud's fading colors gave the rising moon an even paler look. Demolished gravel factory building in Malmsheim (Stuttgart area), September 1985On a summer day, I loaded a black&white film to take pictures of an old gravel factory building in Malmsheim near Stuttgart, that was just being demolished. During the weekend, I had enough time to find strange scenes in those places where people used to work for decades. Graffiti text: "the love, my darling, is infinitely deep.  Learn to swim and I will hold you!", Marbach, Germany, 1989When I travelled in the Stuttgart area, I came across this house with a graffiti sprayed on it.  The graffiti text was probably taken from the title of a German film.  The house was renovated around 2001, so the graffiti is probably gone by now.
