Königslutter Dom
Surrounding village
Our endearing tour guide in front of the portal
This mural depicts König Lothar's lions, which symbolize the earth element. The other sections showed fire, wind, and water.
Its like Art History in real life!
The old extracted frieze
The King's remains are buried here along with his successor on the right and the Queen on the left
The organ
Isn't it angelic?
The chapel
All the pillars are of a different design!
I like him
The courtyard where the monks used to play
The oldest tree I will ever see!
Its completely hollow
and very fairy tale-like
It is 800-1,000 years old and the King himself is said to have planted it when the first stone for the Dome was laid
This depicts the story of the Hunt, here we see two rabbits tying up a hunter symbolizing the strife Christians face on earth. It is depicted on the outside to portray the message that through faith, you will be eventually rewarded with heaven.
On either side of the pillar we see a man blowing a horn and letting out the dogs, on this side tackling a boar I believe
On this end, a hare
Aw Germany
Entenbrunnen
I'm a GIANT!
Antiquated Flower Shop
The sun and rainbow bring luck and prosperity to those who enter
I love the detail!
The market
The town church bell tower
This guy was a real show off in his day...
At the musical instrument museum, an old music-cabinet... slightly out of tune ;)
I just love this...
Full view of the music chest
You know what this is
These guys drink and play cards when the music plays!
The instrument used to narrate silent movies
This is adorable
This was used in big dance halls
This one has pipes
This one has THREE violins
This is where I was!
New friends from the tour!
