Wiesbaden, DE

Sternschnuppe, which means twinkling star, is the Wiesbaden Christmas market. This merry-go-round was very pretty with the church in the backdrop.

Here we see the famous Sternschnuppe lights throughout the square, lighting up the market.

The Sternschnuppe

The main train station in Wiesbaden and its imperial-looking clocktower

After figuring out which direction Old Wiesbaden was, we found this huge and peaceful park, full of couples, tanners, and babies learning to walk. The sight of the clock tower from the far end of the park was too pretty for me to pass up.

Exploring Old Wiesbaden and its endless streets of fancy shops, we found this cute little store stuffed full of jams. It was so German and grandmotherly that I wanted to remember its hominess.

This bright blue post box was hanging on the wall of the ltes Rathaus (Old Town Hall), which was built in 1610 and is the oldest surviving building in Wiesbaden.

For some reason, I love this picture with the famous market buildings and the intriguing tents, framed with a single pretty streetlamp.

This is probably the biggest church that I have ever seen, towering over the rest of Wiesbaden and glowing red in the sun. Even the doorway was so ornate, intricate, and beautiful.

The impressive profile of the Marktkirche, which stands just over 300 feet tall

Although my complete lack of knowledge in the field of botany prevents me from identifying this lovely plant, I found it so pretty and interesting that it became at least a 15 minutes photo shoot.

Although damaged in WWII, the Rathaus of Wiesbaden has both a unique facade and roof pattern.
