RE: Story of the Ulmer Spatz

Very nice little town @delishtreats. Six centuries to build their church! Hmmm ... 😉

And it took a little bird to help them figure out they should try bringing the beams into the city length-wise? Instead of "Plan A" - tearing down their gate?! Hmmm. Hmmm ... 😉 😉

Really enjoyed experiencing this little town through your eyes. Loved the "walk with me" and the way you captured it. Have a great day (evening) my friend!

Sort:  

I think it was purely because of the funding since it was finance by the inhabitants only. Maybe people in 17th/18th century didn't consider it so important or they didn't want to invest their money into the project - no idea..

Oh yes, I read that they were not that clever :) It sound unbelievable and it could only be a legend but I have read quite a bit about it and it is believed that it really happened. Well, every day is a school day :D

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind words!

How are you doing?

Yes @delishtreats ...

"Oh yes, I read that they were not that clever :)"

... that was my concern! As you may recall, we discussed ancestry awhile back and I have a considerable amount of German "blood," so hoping they were a little brighter than that ... 😉

As a Christian, it is interesting to me that any group of people professing to be the same would take 600 years to build a place to get together. I am sure the devout members of that little town did something else in the meantime, but it just struck me a little funny ... Well, as you know, though, my sense of humor might be considered ... uhhh ... an "acquired taste" ... 😉

On a serious note, I truly enjoyed the post. You do nice work. And as for the little bird, well we can both appreciate how much effort this town put in to celebrating "the legend" or whatever it is, since there is some very impressive art involved in their various ... uhhh ... "interpretations" of it.

Thank you for "bringing it to life" for us!
