This time I want to show you some old North German doors. Fortunately not too many old houses and doors have been destroyed in WWII in Hamburg as mostly the workers’ quarters had been bombarded. Good for me, so I can still photograph a lot of wonderful doors. Some of these doors are from rather wealthy districts in the centre of Hamburg, one is from a Tibetan restaurant, and the other ones are from little towns or villages east of Hamburg, one is from a little church. Most of the doors are art nouveau (1890-1910), some are even older (1815-1848).
These doors are works of art. Beautiful!

Elegant doors indeed, Mitza! There sure are not many doors like these around Illinois. These doors are like history from the past; valuable stuff! 🙂

Thank you ,Tom for commenting. Hamburg has a history of 800 years and had a castle once, too, but unfortunately it has been destroyed many hundred years ago.
Greets to Tweetie. She should get some paper and pencils to draw, not only tv. You could sell her drawings then, hehe. Regards Mitza

Lovely doors! I like the windows, too. I’ve been noticing house windows on my walk and noticed that I really like ones that are set in or have some kind of a ledge on the top or bottom, or sides, or shutters…something other than just the windows that are effaced with the outside walls.

Thanks for your approval. I love ledges a lot and special windows, too. In former times, these things have been made by hand and were much more individualistic. I love old things. Have a nice day, regards Mitza

Some great designs and amazing workmanship there, Mitza. I wonder if those buildings and fittings are protected by some sort of heritage council.

Thanks for liking the old doors. You are right, some few houses are protected by some sort of heritage councils and that’s rather unpopular with house owners because it costs a lot of money. Regards Mitza

A wonderful collection of doors, Mitza! I am sure that each one would have a great story to tell, perhaps of family events behind such doors or of important historical moments in the history of Hamburg.
