Breslau

Breslau (now Wroclaw) lies enroute to Langenau in Silesia only three hours from Berlin. It was nearly completely destroyed during WWII but has mostly been restored. It is a lively town with a large university and bustling art scene, streets and bars full of young people. 



Rynek, the main market square with its baroque and medieval facades




Schweidnitzer Keller - Guten Appetit! 






The Griffin house






Inside the old university:



 Aula Leopoldina




Aula Leopoldina is being restored.



The bridge leads to Cathedral Island in the centre of town:






The double church  with a lower church ....


.... and an upper church room above: 

a few blocks away: 




a high-end version of "Gartenzwerg"?





Parking was easy. Follow the green lights ... This parking lot surprised us with a special feature: it has sensors installed above every space that switch on a red light if something occupies the space. We tested it out ... again, this seems to be a classic case of opm -  spending "other-people's-money", probably from some EU infrastructure fonds.
