We visited Happenheim today. It has a lot of medieval half-timber buildings.

Thanks, Gabriela.
So many old buildings, so much history within their walls!
So many buildings that are leaning as well. Thanks, Liz.
Yes!
Cool buildings and tour Tim.
Thanks, Brad.
Cool cat (on a hot clay roof) photographs in this post…
Thanks, Herman. The street lamps are really cool. They will be in a later post.
I’m really enjoying your photos, Tim. Love the Rathaus.
The rats often have the best buildings. Thanks, Holly.
They absolutely do. I’ve always thought they have the best parties. 🐭
This doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels like a moment. What was your favorite part of being there?
I love all the old buildings. Thanks, FN.
Bollards….How do you say”No Parking” in Latin?
“Non Statio” However, I like the following form of No Parking in Italian: Parcheggio vietato! Thanks, Geoff.
Why am I getting Hansel and Gretel feels from those houses 😅
Great pictures, Tim!
That’s because Hansel and Gretel was set in medieval Germany. Thanks, Becky.
There were also a lot of witch trials in the area.
Really? I didn’t know that. The witch trials were everywhere 😢
There were more in that area that any other place in Germany, I believe.
What a gorgeous town!
It is. Thanks, Ribana.
A beautiful series, Tim. Last weekend, I visited a friend’s home, and we talked about the pine trees on their property, and they had an old Douglas Fir, which their great-grandfather planted around the 1930s, that they got from an American. They plant firs when the opportunity comes – and your photos have that beautiful feel of nature, and people who love to have it around them.
There are so many trees in Germany that the old cliché, “You can’t see the forest for the trees!” rings true. Douglas Firs are amazing in their beauty, size, and longevity. In southern Germany, where I am near Kaiserslautern, there is the Palatinate Forest / Pfälzerwald, which is mostly spruce and fir. Thanks, Randall.
Love half-timber……my camera always gravitated towards those when we used to travel ! What a beautiful town that is…………..

The most half-timber buildings I’ve seen in one dorf. Thanks, Pam.
Ha! I loved the ‘Not even’! And the cat on the roof, and well, all of them!
It was amazing how many buildings were way out of plumb. Thanks, Tiffany.
Well, I can safely say I will never go to that place, those building lines would set my OCD through the roof to continue the metaphor ha. I like the mini Stonehenge.
You would go nuts. So many buildings leaning one way or the other. I wonder if the locals feel off-center standing on even ground. Thanks, Brian.
Absolutely stunning. I do love timber houses.
So many half-timber houses around here. Thanks, Shey.
Well you did them justice.
I love the half timbered homes and the cobbled streets. I love you find the animals where ever you go. 💕
They are cool looking buildings. Thanks, Cindy.
So interesting. Great shots. Love the witch, cat and those stones.
There were a lot of witch trials in the area. Thanks, Gigi.
Yes and nothing ever happend to the men who murdered them.
A few men were burned at the stake accused of being witches and heretics, but while there were various methods for executing men, women were, with only a few exceptions, burned at the stake. Being burned at the stake is one of the cruelest and most painful methods of execution.
Some of them were drowned as well. Gay men were also killed, but they murdered the women to get their belongings. Most were widows of healers. I feel something like that could happen again with the idiot in charge.
That is a great little town. The local library, too!
It really has character. Thanks, Lavinia.
What a cracking looking town. It’s good to see medieval towns that weren’t destroyed in the war. Places that are reconstructed never seem the same.
The town was spared during the two world wars, but fires in the 14th and 17th centuries leveled the town. The oldest buildings are from the late 1600s and early 1700s. Thanks, Malcolm.
Thanks for the extra info Timothy
Gorgeous. Great shots, thanks.
Thanks, Inchy. It’s a cool old town.
It looked my sort of place. (He says in the 15th floor of a concrete block of flats, Hehe!)
Great photos Tim … my fav is the last one
Atlas is a favorite. Thanks, Julie.
Wow! That is a lovely, quaint plus place Tim. Thanks you!
Thanks, Resa.
