Happy (Belated) Moon Landing!

Thought I'd try my best to be the last one to comment on this topic. Well, to be honest, I wasn't so much trying to be the last one to comment on this. Instead I just came across this yesterday while wandering around. Anyway, nearly 10 days after the hoopla ladies and gentlemen, Der Schmitz-Saule:



This can be found in the courtyard near the entrance to Groß St. Martin. Below is a close-up of the inscription.


Still can't find it? Look for this:


That's Groß St. Martin. You can find the Schmitz-Saule close to the entrance of the church. The church dominates the southern part of the skyline. Its foundations are built on top of old Roman ruins. For 50 cents, you can access these ruins in the basement of the church. From what I've been able to find out, most of these ruins are from warehouses. When the warehouses were built, the site was right off the Rhine River. Here's a couple of fuzzy photos from underground. It was difficult to take a photo down there that gave you any sort of perspective on what you can see.





More on underground explorations this weekend!
