HEIDELBERG GERMANY - MARKET SQUARE

28Sep2007.. GERMANY... THE TOWN MARKETS.. Heidelberg has a couple of nice little, bustling markets - one in the old town and one across the river in Neuenheim. These markets are a part of 'real' German life and as such are interesting to visit. The nicest market is the Neuenheim market. Heidelberg was the center of the epoch of "Romantik" (Romanticism) in Germany. There was a famous circle of poets such as Joseph von Eichendorff, Joseph von Görres, Arnim, and Brentano. A famous relic of Romanticism is the Philosophers´ Walk. The "Romantik" epoch of German philosophy and literature, was described as a movement against classical and realistic theories of literature, an antipole to the rationality of the Age of Enlightenment. It elevated medievalism and elements of art and narrative perceived to be from the medieval period as well as folk art, nature and an epistemology based on nature, which included human activity conditioned by nature in the form of language, custom and usage.

It looks as if it hasn't changed since I lived there in the early 1960s. :-)  I miss that town so much.

I was stationed in Germany in the army in 1968-1969 and remember this are well. Bought my first switchblade knife right outside that old building (think it's a church) for protection. Young German teens didn't like us Americans stationed in Heidelberg and there were some cases of soldiers being "jumped" by groups of German teens! That aside, I really enjoyed my time there.
