schwabach, franconia

on our way back from a great, great birthday party in nuremberg (nürnberg), we have visited the medieval franconian (fränkisch, franken) city of schwabach. did you know that schwabach is also the (czeck + slovak) name of the old german 'gothic' scripture (schrift) from 15th century also called schwabacher / schwabacher scripture.

enjoy few pictures + insights, but first please reward our under brute pressure enforced trial to paint the expression of our souls :-)
