Bad Reichenhall, a photo from Bayern, West

Photographer's Note

The earliest known inhabitants of this area are the tribes of the Glockenbecher-Culture (a Bronze Age Culture, from about 2000 B.C.)
In the age of the La Tene culture (about 450 B.C.) organized salt production commenced utilizing the local brine pools. In the same period a celtic place of worship is placed at the "Langacker"
From 15 B.C to 480 A.D, the city is part of a roman province, Noricum
1136 A.D bought the founding of a monastery St. Zeno
In 1617-1619 a wooden pipeline for brine exportation to Traunstein was built, with a length of 31 km, and more than 200 m in altitude difference
In 1834, two thirds of the city's buildings were destroyed by a major fire
The early 19th century saw the beginning of tourism, with Reichenhall becoming a famous health resort
From 1890, Reichenhall is now called "Bad Reichenhall"
On April, 25th of 1945, the area was bombed by allied forces, 200 people were killed. The town centre with many hospitals and the train station was nearly totally destroyed, the barracks didn't suffer any damage. After World War II the area was under American military governance (1945-1948)

Hello Georg,
A clear and crisp image with good colours and lots of detail to admire. Good point of view with the flower bed acting as a finger taking the viewer deep into the scene.

Cześć Jurek,
Fajnie, dużo słońca, piękne kolory.
Czy w tym miasteczku biegają po ulicach z odkurzaczami, że tak klinicznie czysto? :)
A gdzie ludzi wywiało?
Piękny malowniczy kadr.
Pozdrawiam!

Witaj Jurek,
Ladna, zadbana uliczka, skapana w promieniach slonca... Zastanawia mnie o jakiej porze Ty robisz te zdjecia, ze na ulicach zero zycia... Piekne kolory i ladne swiatlo. Milo jest wedrowac wraz z Toba i twoimi zdjeciami po tego typu urokliwych miasteczkach...

Hi Georg,

Very nice and bright colours. The distorted wall don't detract attention from this beautiful place. Your point of view is also very good. Nice work capturing this scene with no people at all. Cheers :-)
