City Views #83: Leineweberstrasse III


The right, or better north side of Mülheim’s Leineweberstrasse, which was made into a wide pedestrian area in the 1980s. Like on the parallel running Schloßstrasse, many shops have closed and the once busy shopping street is only a shadow of its former glory. Halfway down, there’s at least one reason to still go in this direction: Mülheim’s only dedicated tea shop in the inner city, which you can see in this photo if you look close enough.

Rowan in the Rain


The streetside Rowan tree still has almost all the berries, but very few leaves left.

City Views #82: Leineweberstrasse II


A zoomed-in view of Mülheim’s Leineweberstrasse from the direction of the Kaiserplatz – from here, you can actually see all the way to the Berliner Platz, the building in the background is part of the big banking complex. At the left, you can see cars lining up at a streetlight (and a possible traffic jam), the line at the right next to the trees is actually a bicycle path. The trees form a green roof over the street, eliminating much of the concrete jungle look it had in its earlier days.
