The historical part of town of Oberursel is usually referred to as the Altstadt by Germans. We had another out-of-town visitor, and a trip to the Biergarten included walking back to the parking area An der Bleiche (At the Bleaching Grounds). In the old days, women washed and sun bleached the sheets right there.
It’s an old tradition around here that when a baby is born, the family hangs out baby clothing to announce its arrival.
Old and new can stand very close together.
We have arrived at our destination: the parking lot An der Bleiche.
This fountain woman represents the women from long ago, who used to bring their laundry to this area – the washing and bleaching got done here.
