sindelfingen & warmbronn, swabia

the u.s. military air base ramstein is quite far away from munich (thanks goodness!), so we need some breaks on the road.

the previous times we have visited speyer, kirchheim unter teck, castle frankenstein, esslingen am neckar. this time we enjoyed the beautiful old timber-framed houses in two small swabian cities warmbronn (on the way to ramstein) and sindelfingen on the way back, both in the federal state of baden-württemberg.

why were we so eager to see sindelfingen this time? maybe because of its mercedes (daimler) car factory which i planned to blow up in order to extinguish the main long time competitor of my employer BMW? nope, not at all 😂

a friend of mine, lets call him ingmar here and today, was with us. he was born in sindelfingen and moved to munich at age of 3. we have found his birth house in the warmbronner street .... stop. you know what? warmbronn was that small locality in the middle of nowhere where we stopped by accident on our way to ramstein after we did not catch the right lane at the highway between stuttgart and leonberg => sooo strange ... what about s.th. even more crazy? few of the entrances (and all flats there) to his home block building were already empty as the whole houses are going to be demolished and will make place for s.th. new soon .... hell, we came 50 years after ingmars childhood back and only few months later there would be nothing left? OMG 😇

now move to sindelfingen, where we have had a tasty lunch in the old timber-framed houses street (kurze gasse) and after that were looking for ingmar's childhood 😉
