Facades
Here you see some typical facades outside the main shopping area downtown. I took this photo in the "Rheingauviertel" (Rheingau quarter) - streets are named after different towns of the Rheingau in this quarter.Since I took this shot in the morning, the sun didn't reach the sidewalk yet. But it must've been nice to sit on one of the balconies - well, people are busy and off to work I guess.

having at least a balcony is nice...we're losing our luck in having a terrace now when we move to out 'new' apt. soon. no terrace no balcony...but there are 5 big windows facing the sun! i guess we won't need to be outside to sun tan :-D

Do these buildings have an achitectural style that is localised Nicola? I'm no expert on German architecture but, these have a very mediterranean style to me.
Love the ornate nature of the balconies and window arches.
nuno - ja, they are all appartment buildings and since this is a nice area in the city, to buy an appartment here would be quite expensive. It's already a bit difficult to rent one, since a lot of people would like to live in that area.
backpack everyday - thanks for your feedback!
maya - I think, having 5 big windows is a great substitute for a balcony. Sometimes they are so small that you can just fit one chair on them (remember my post last Tuesday?).
ndiginiz - hm, to be honest, I'm not an expert in architecture either. I'll have to ask a friend of mine who knows more about these matters. I think most of the houses here were built at the beginning of the last century.
Thank you for your comments fotoaddict, sam, ggraph, wolf, cynthia!
What beautiful buildings! I would love to live there.
My Father was stationed here back in the late 60's til 72 and this place left a mark on me that I will never forget. What I remembered most was the colors. I tell people that the blues are blue and the greens are green. I miss being there and it is my prayer that one day I will be able to return for a visit.
