[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here I show you a detail of a facade in the small town Höxter in the very east of North Rhine-Westphalia on the bank of Weser river. This architectural style is called Weser-Renaissance. It is widespread along Weser river, its headstreams and its tributaries. Special attributes of this style are elaborately decorated gables, special gazebos and the here shown hand-carved half-rosettes.
Beautiful examples of Weser-Renaissance are the city hall of Paderborn or this house in Detmold.
The here shown house was built in 1676. If you want to visit it in Höxter - it's the house "Westerbachstraße No. 4". You'll find a plethora of these beautiful facades in Höxter - it's a real dream ...

In the workshop you can see other details of houses in Höxter.

Hallo Frank,
Du hast erstaunlich schöne Exemplare der bürgerlichen Renaissance (hier und in der WS) gezeigt. Ich finde für besonders interessant, wie sich die in Reihe gefügten Motive variieren. Das deutet mir darauf, dass der Meister nicht nur zieren, sondern etwas auch ausdrücken wollte - anders formuliert: seine Phantasie erlaubte ihm nicht die einmal erfundenen Motive einfach zu wiederholen. Sehr schön.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

Hallo Frank! Very nice architecture photo and great building! Colors and contrast are good! Cool place!

TFS and regards!
Philip

Hallo Frank,
What well you have caught the geometry and the elegance of this architecture in this beautiful front.
I like the strong graphism of its decoration, very rich and with magnificent colors.
It is a nice composition, my friend.
Regards from a soft but cloudy Barcelona. Tomorrow rain.

Beautifully decorated old house, Frank.
I've seen some before (photos), but I imagine it's a
different experience when one's there and can see them
'with their own eyes', sort to speak.
Hope the council there susbsidize maintenance of these
houses...
Cheers,
Robi
