Kirchditmold: Part 2





The street where we lived in Kirchditmold was called Riedwiesen Strasse. The lush vegetation and overall green look noticeable in the "Land" of Hessen (originally its own jusrisdiction, and now what we think of as a province) again is evident here, and our (rented) house was a bit nicer than where we lived before. That little place, reminiscient of a cottage and which still sported a coal stove for heating, was torn down long ago. You can see the modern house now in its place. Nevertheless, the property brings back memories. Below the shrubbery shown in one photo is a very small brook that runs above or below ground through much of the street. I loved playing there--it was a miniature ecological paradise for a child. You can also see the street corner, and on top the view from here up the street. The picket fence might still be the original--it certainly looks familiar.
