River Views #72: Wasserbahnhof 2


This is not a photo of Mülheim’s Wasserbahnhof – this was taken from the bridge that connects the Schleuseninsel to the city. The ship’s lock is right behind me, the bridge is actually part of it and this is the arm of the river with the lower waterline. In the distance you can catch a glimpse of the Schlossbrücke, which is about 350 meters further North.

River Views #71: Wasserbahnhof 1


Mülheim’s Wasserbahnhof is the main stop of the Weisse Flotte, the small fleet of cruise ships that travels on the Ruhr river. The Wasserbahnhof itself is this actual building, whose construction started in 1927 and has existed since then in various incarnations as a restaurant or cafe. It’s located on the Schleuseninsel, a small ‘island’ between the ship’s lock and the water power station. At the end of last month, I finally went on a photowalk there and shot a lot of new photos around the area, which will be both a part of the River Views series and later a separate gallery with some additional photos.

River Views #60: Around the Bridges 6


A closer look at the RWW building on the west side of the Ruhr next to Mülheim’s Schlossbrücke. The walkway on the other side with the bright blue railing goes all the way to the right under the bridge. The round building on the left is actually a restaurant, but I’ve only walked around it a couple of times.

River Views #58: Around the Bridges 4


Another look over to the other side of the Ruhr to the West, with the long RWW Waterworks building in the middle. Just to the right side is the Schlossbrücke and beyond that on the other side the Stadthalle, our big concert and theatre hall of which a new photo is coming up in this series soon.

The left Maple is still a bit behind, though.

This slightly lopsided tree is our Backyard Walnut and is carrying quite tasty nuts every year.
