Old homes restored in Seligenstadt

This is one of my favorite streets in Seligenstadt because there are some very old homes here being restored.  Each time we’ve been here, I’ve checked the progress.  I think it’s fascinating to see what’s behind the plaster.

These old homes were built of mud brick, mud made with straw.   After 200 or 300 years, some of these bricks are as hard as cement.

Some of the old bricks have been removed.

In the areas below, just mud was used.

 

Look how thick the walls are:

The tower is to give you some bearings about where this street is.  There’s a good parking area behind the tower.
