Market Place in 2006
And here is how it looks nowadays. There might be some buildings you recognize from earlier posts... The castle on the right hosts the parliament of the state Hesse now (Hessischer Landtag), the clock tower doesn't exist anymore and you will find the civil registry office in the former city hall today. What do you think - has it changed much since 1845?Labels: sights

Hi Nicola, the way you made the posts is pretty cool and very interesting...the market place doesn't change much...in HK, very few old buildings survive because of the ever escalating property price...great post!
Wow, it's very interesting to see the evolution of an area...it seems like in the old days, people gather outside and had community activities a lot more than nowadays. It seems like there were always much more going on at the same time in an area before than now...thanks for the comparison, nicola :-) very clean...
I'm sure there are less presents from animals but it used to be more animated:)
I just love this!
When we lived in Germany, we visited Wiesbaden simply to locate places my husband's Grandfather had taken snapshots of during the war. We had no addresses, or names of places, but managed to find what we figured were pretty much the places we saw in the snapshots.
I really love your idea for this post!
apparently nothing much changed...
awesome... beautifully preserved... cool
Hi Nicola,
both are beautiful pictures,but in olden days the farmers sold the produce in front where the Mosaic design is now. These days the things are sold behind
from the area where you stand to take the picture. Might be fun to see a picture of the Markt today with the beautiful Marktkirche. Does that sound like a request for another picture?
What is the house in the back with the pink balloon paintings? Thanks Nicola you get beautiful shots.

Nicola, are you sure the clock tower no longer exists? I see something very similar to the tower in the 1845 painting - heady days, in the Rhine region - just behind the Hessischer Landtag - farther to the right than in the old painting.
The pavements look much cleaner now - I get the impression that the Marktplatz was just beaten earth 160 years ago - dusty or muddy according to the season. Pleasantly surprised that the modern picture is not inundated with motor vehicles.
Very interesting historical set of pictures!
Hi Nicola! Beautiful comparison! I love how you showed the two places in two different centuries, but almost nothing changed!
What a great before and after shot!!!
I'll have to try this with Montchauvet - thanks for a great idea!!
ddint change much..wonderfully preserve! not too crowded though (lol !)
Great idea. I love the comparison shots. What is that building with the mural painted on the side?
Beautiful photo, very good comparison, very well done.
perfect exposure...look like a sunny day...beautiful capture and i remember the finger mural..look great in this angle also:-)
Unbelievable that it changed so little! Nice idea!
