In a conversation about last week’s Hof Flohmarkt (courtyard flea market), when most of Oberursel’s Altstadt (old part of the town) opened its courtyard gates to many visitors, I also mentioned to wear good shoes around the area as high heels make walking difficult.
The conversation turned then to farm house courtyards, and their original purpose. There is also a difference between the original cobble stones and the new ones to fit the Altstadt flair.
This is a sample of the old Pflastersteine (cobble stones), which are a significant part of Oberursel’s Altstadt.
These cobble stones look like they date from a more recent era.
This is another alley near St. Ursula Church, where only cobble stones are found.
Around the Altstadt, even the stairways are made from cobble stones.
der Pflasterstein (Singular), die Pflastersteine (Plural)
But das Pflaster by itself is a band-aid.
