The Beautiful Town Idstein – Part 2 – Rathaus


Rathaus has of course nothing to do with rats, unless you mean politicians. Which would be insulting to rats, I guess. Rathaus is from german words for a counsel (Rat) and  a house (Haus) and means town hall.

The building is nothing extraordinary in the context of the town, but to the right side of it is a beautiful gate to the castle. Unfortunately you can only imagine the gate, because it was being  repaired at the time of our visit so I could not take good pictures of it . And I did not have time to spend with the various plaques around the staircase either.

    What a lovely building, especially the dormer windows. The two little ones look like eyes.

    Is the roof ridge sagging in the middle (under the cupola), or is that just an optical illusion or lens effect?
