As promised and completing here’s the
rest of Else Zinkeisen's woodblock prints. In her native Hamburg she choose the old
Hammer Kirche. Originally build in 1692 and distroyed in the bombing and firestorms raging
over the city in 1943.
And the places
she probably visited during holidays. They are picturesque and historic places like "Werratalblick", View on Werra vale , probaly seen from the same panoramic photografic point called Krayenberg.
"Burg Hanstein" (Hanstein Castle)
"Burg Fürstenstein" (Fürstenstein castle)
The
caracteristic twin towers of the 15th century Frauenkirche Cathedral
is visible dominating over “der Englischer Garten” in Munich. Creation of the 1000 acre garden (larger then Central Park) started in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thomson and has an interesting history you can read here*
