PABUCA

Center

“Center” is the current topic at Pabuca – and at the center of Pfaffenhofen is, of course, the main square with the town hall on the east side and the “Haus der Begegnung” (encounter, meeting) next to the major church on the west side, between which we’re looking here:

Rathaus zwischen Kirche und HdB

Let’s step closer to the town hall:

In the past weeks, however, there was something different in the center of everyone’s attention:

(…and I’m not referring to the Ilm here…)

Way up in the air

…aren’t just the emotions after the World Cup victory, but it’s also this week’s topic at Pabuca.

Let’s start with maypole and modern lamps at the main square:

Remains of old external goods hoists are visible in several places, though mostly just by doors in the walls:

One from the archive, because it would be hard to order a hot-air balloon, get back into my former apartment, and let the balloon fly just such that it’s visible between typical gables and the biomass heating plant’s chimney:

Vastness

New topic at Pabuca is “Vastness”…

A vast amount of water flooded the vast main square and the surrounding city – luckily only on this small bronze model:

A vast amount of sleepers connects a vast length of rails that can take you to the vast world. Though not with these ICE-T or ICE-3 or the other types, because these only pass through (except in case of some breakdowns):

The support structure for the new roof of our ice rink has to span quite some distance, too:

Zodiac

…the current topic at Pabuca.

You wonder what these photos have to do with the topic? Well, apart from rather historical astronomy and the name of some beautiful glow in the sky (zodiacal light, which I can’t ever hope to see here in town, let alone photograph), the zodiac’s main role is of course in astrology. And astrology is of course old scrap, bullshit, trash.

Bridges

What else could it be than another Pabuca topic?

Now a small town like Pfaffenhofen doesn’t have that impressive bridges, so we’re starting small here – with a little thing to an auxiliary platform that was1 necessary because of construction works further south on this track:

bahnsteig

Across the little river Ilm, there once was a makeshift pedestrian bridge which should be used only one person at a time:

behelf

Nearby, by the way, a bridge was once torn down with spears! Well, at least a sign said so, misspelling “gesperrt” (closed, barred) as “gespeert” (speared). :)

We can do a bit bigger (and more durable), too – this bridge is part of the school center:

  1. yes, these are photos from the archive… []
