Description

On this image you see a place near Heidelberg (Germany), called "Celebration Place". (earlier it was called "Thingstaette"). It was build in the thirties of the last century by the Nazis. After the 2. WW till into the seventies this place was rotting more and more. In the seventies it was rediscovered by the Hippies. They used it as a meeting place and there were from time to time free Rock and Blues concerts. In the eighties the city administration banned the concerts (too much drugs and garbage) and the place was restored. Now it is used for commercial events. Only one time a year 10.000 ore more young people come here together to celebrate Walpurgis Night (the night from 30. of April to 1. of May). Thanks for looking.

What a great place and I'm so glad it has been restored as it would be a great place for a concert. An excellent capture.

Cool, your own little Woodstock near Heidelberg. Stellar capture, Klaus! Good idea having the humans down at the bottom of the image for altitude reference.

Ich glaube da immer die Treppen rauf und runter zu laufen ist bestimmt ein schönes Fitnessprogramm.
