kaufbeuren in allgäu

despite the worst spring weather i can remember my father visits bavaria again. we have rain almost every day for at least 1 month. there were only two or three sunny days and only one of them we got the chance to stay longer at a lake, to sunbathe + swimm ...

 so what to do? let's visit some nearby cities when there are few hours wihout rain ⛅⛆

enjoy few pictures from kaufbeuren in allgäu. of course we liked its landmark, the fünfknopfturm tower from 1420. but our highlight today was something completely different: the unexpected visit in the bell tower of the biggest church as the priest came all the 150 steps up with us and explained a lot about his church, the bells and the city ... 👍😀😍

due to crazy corona lockdown measures were the restaurants closed even in their outside areas, so there were only few possibilities to grab some food to go and all the city looked and behaved like died out...

2021, MayDay for working class due to corona dictatorship

due to anti corona measures & lockdowns it was officially not allowed to make a demo. thus we just came by coincidence at the same time to the same place ... and yes, the police was already there 😄. we just met in front of a court building and highly appreciated the adjudgement of one judge from weimar against the government's position in some corona related law suit ... and then met the other worker activists at the anarchistic assembly point at the rindermarkt for the (forbidden) celebration of the international workers day.

only the nazis under hitler and the current 'corona-dictators' i.e. an alliance of WEF + WHO + RKI + corrupt government managed to prohibit the gathering of the workering class at the international workers day in munich. well, we have been there and could walk in the streets in small groups as independent persons ... germany is quite liberal, you see? in some other countries they would probably beat, capture + shoot at demonstrants, wouldn't they?

we did not care about the corona lockdown in 2020 either and came to the streets. of course, we have been much much fewer people then usually.

marriage in murnau am staffelsee

what a nice day in murnau am staffelsee in the bavarian alps. despite the harsh corona measures we have spent a beautiful marriage ceremony in murnau. the wedding celebration was forbidden (silly corona-measures), so the young couple decided to hike on a nearby mountain grosser illing (1330 m). my wife and me enjoyed the sightseeing and lunch 2 go on a bank in the old city center and then we went to the lake staffelsee. enjoy few pictures 😃
