Lufthansa Seeheim 2010

Lufthansa Seeheim 2010

The Lufthansa Training and Conference Center south of Frankfurt was my home for a couple of days. The old center was planned to be rebuilt, but then the tore down the whole building and rebuilt it. Like the rise of Phoenix, the new complex is offering a perfect scenery to study and learn. The topic for last week was Dangerous Goods on aircrafts (IATA), a rather bureaucratic thing, but anyway the group was fun to work with.

Bremen Schlachte 2010


Bremen Schlachte 2010, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

Bremen Schlachte 2010

This part of Bremen was the old port of Bremen. Medieval Hanse merchants had here their storage. The twin towers of the Bremen Dom on the right hand side are dominating the city center. I did this sketch from the top level of the Beluga shipping tower located on the Weser island. The bar offers a fantastic view. I think the prices in the restaurant "Outer Roads" are only for people with a huge banking account and booking has to be three weeks in advance.

Weserterrassen


Weserterrassen, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

Thursday, 3 June 2010: Finally good weather. The pedestrian walks along the river Weser in Bremen are full of people. The Buergerhaus Weserterrassen is located near the Weser Stadion which is well known for the Werder Soccer team. We had some Flammkuchen with onions and bacon.

Emma am See: Dining in the Buergerpark

May 2010: This came as a real surprise. This wonderful building was for years quite a boring place to drink coffee and have some cakes in an old interior. Now the new owners renovated this jewel. Located in the Bremen Buergerpark it is the latest attraction, a combination of Bauhaus architecure and modern cuisine.

Sauhaufen_ Pigsty in Bremen Buergerpark

Sauhaufen= Pigsty (pile of sows = means total mess)
The newborn piglets are relaxing with their mother during a sunny afternoon in the Bremen Buergerpark. This park is called the "green lung" of Bremen.
Born on the 9 of May 2010 they are remarkably grown.

Drawn on Whit Monday/ Pfingstmontag (a national holiday in Germany).
