Seen at one of the town gates in Horb a.N.
The sign is next to one of the town gates and shows that traffic coming out of the town has priority, and that the clearance through the gate is only 3.30m
Why are there two red men?
July 26, 2010 By 3 Comments
One of the things that I’ve always wondered about in Germany, is why some pedestrian crossings – eg. in Nordrhein Westfalen – have two red men on them:
Pedestrian traffic lights in Cologne
I have two theories:
1. It reinforces the red light by having two. If one stops working, the other one should still light up.
2. It’s cheaper because the towns only need to buy one type of light and then use different filters on them, rather than buying 3-lamp and 2-lamp lights. Surely it must use more energy, though?
Does anyone know the answer?
Open Day at Imkerei Ullmann
July 21, 2010 By 1 Comment
Imkerei Ullmann, a local bee-keeping family, is holding an open day on Sunday, 25th July.
Starting at 10am, visitors can expect tours around the apiary to get an inside view of the life of the bees and how the honey is made. At the end of the tour there will be a chance to try different types of honey.
There is also a barbecue planned and pony and trap rides for children.
The apiary is located in Erlensee, just east of Hanau and on Sundays is best reached by car.
More information can be found on the Imkerei Website.
