Bad Homburg - old German City
Steemians, instead of political discussions I am posting instead to Monochrome Monday by @old-guy-photos - some photos from an old town in Germany - Bad Homburg! Bad stands for "Bath" in German and I had the pleasure to visit the city recently during a trip to Frankfurt.
Bad Homburg is located in the Hochtaunuskreis, Germany, and a part of the Frankfurt Rhein-Main urban area. The city is famous mainly for his casino and its medically used mineral waters and spa, therefore the prefix Bad which means "bath" in English.
The region and the city is one of the wealthiest areas across Germany, Bad Homburg is usually competing with Starnberg near Munich, they use a very interesting marketing claim too "Champagne air and tradition".
das erste Bild ist so gut geworden, dass ich gedachthabe es ist aus einem buch fotografiert :-)

you mean the white tower? It is the so called former Bergfried and is one of the landmarks Bad Homburg is known for. The tower is a 14th century's keep of original castle and located in the middle of the castle, and contains a museum these days. Original the tower was used to watch out for enemies, the main fortress for defence and also the former owners lived there as it was difficult to enter the building.

Hi mate - no light tower I am afraid but it was used to observe the area and acted as main tower / building of defence for the castle surroundings.
