    "Our daily bread give us today."
    Es war ein schöner Sommertag im letzten Jahr. Dieses Kornfeld ist am Fuß des Odenwalds bei Schriesheim an der Bergstraße. Die Felder sind mit unterschiedlichen Nutzpflanzen versehen. Im flachen Bereich mit Korn, Raps, Obstbäumen und anderen Nutzpflanzen. Vor den Berghängen wird Rot- und Weißwein angebaut.

    Die Felder haben kleine Einheiten. Aber die Bauern haben es durch lange Erfahrung und Hilfsmittel geschafft, aus wenig viel zu machen. Hierdurch konnten die Ernteerträge auf ein Optimum gesteigert werden. Oft sind mehrfache Ernten möglich, die es früher nicht gab. Allerdings verändern sich immer wieder einmal die Wachstumsbedingungen durch die Wetterverhältnisse, besonders der Klimawandel stellt neue Herausforderungen dar.

    Korn ist auf jeden Fall eine sehr wichtige Pflanze für uns Menschen.

      Nature versus commerce. A small picture with a backstory.
      This meadow in the Odenwald was used for centuries as grazing land for sheep, goats, or cows. As a result, the animals kept it short. After animal husbandry ceased, the last owner did not want to leave it to grow wild and mowed the meadow three times a year – with a scythe and perseverance. The municipality also wanted this for aesthetic reasons, so tourists would get a well-kept impression of the landscape around the community. Then the owner passed away a few years ago. The meadow grew unchecked. But then this idyll was about to be destroyed (why?... more in the next comment)...

        Something is brewing...
        The monsoon clouds still looked harmless, as they were far away. But that was deceptive. In a relatively short time, they were already over the beach, pouring rain buckets down. There wasn't much time to find shelter. But the temperatures ensured a quick drying. Then the downpour was over, and we could go back into the water.

        Strength lies in calmness
        St. Peter and Paul is a Catholic branch church in Lindenfels in the Bergstraße district of Hesse. Although it was only consecrated in 1745, it is the oldest church in the town. History A Catholic community in Lindenfels only formed after the readmission of Catholics in the Electoral Palatinate in 1685. Initially, the Catholics used the castle chapel of Lindenfels Castle, which had been abandoned since the Reformation, before beginning to build their own church from 1727 on a specially fortified plateau at the castle entrance. The church construction was financed through collections approved by Elector Karl III Philipp, through corvée labor, and fines, and took several years. The shell was completed in 1732, and the church was consecrated in 1745. In 1893, a sacristy was added to the church, and in 1896 the windows were altered. A major renovation took place in 1974.

        The bagpipe players "Highlander"
        Scottish-Celtic Medieval Market at Lindenfels Castle / Odenwald - 5 This group was, of course, a must-have. The Highlanders. It was a very beautiful experience at Lindenfels Castle, which has been mentioned since 1080 and officially existed as a castle since 1123. One of the owners was Konrad von Hohenstaufen, the brother of Emperor "Barbarossa." So, a very historic estate.
