Journey to the past

Today we visited Halle/Saale in the east of Germany with my parents. My mom fled from the Sudentenland in the late 1930s and before arriving years later in Kassel she also lived a few years in Halle. From 1958 til 1962. And she was curious if the house where they lived would still be there. It was. Unfortunately we could go in but we were able to peek into the house nextdoor and had a look in the backyard. That was were they lived. The groundfloor. A lot of these huge houses have backyards.
She really enjoyed seeing it again and then we strolled around Halle and saw a few more things she remembered even though a lot has changed after all those years.
The photo is from the marketplace. I couldn't resist taking it with the bratwurst thingy in front of the church.
