In my ongoing saga of unpacking long out of sight German
half-timbered buildings from sets ("fachwerk"), I pulled two
old friends this weekend.
They are (1) The Albrecht Durer Haus (1420) in the Old City at
Nuremberg, Germany. This was a very hard kit for me as
I recall because the roof is so complex. The great artist's
house is just below the Nuremberg Kaiserburg Fortress, and is open as
a museum.
(2) The Alsfeld Town Hall (1512) . This little city is well known in
Hesse for its beers which I used to imbibe, but it turns out they have a
very nice local mineral-water which they are very happy to serve
in the local restaurants as a replacement for beer.
Such memories!
