Travel: Exploring around Rutesheim, Germany



2024-11-21 - Rutesheim, Germany - Photo by Veronica Arnold.
Veronica writes, "Lots of lovely old churches scattered about town. First day in Germany was full of a dusting of snow, just like we had in Columbia... so while we traveled, we didn't miss the first snow of the season!

Stay tuned for more fun pictures from our mission trip to Stuttgart, Germany."

Stuttgarter Hofbrau, on the sign for the restaurant Gasthoff Lamm, is the traditional beer of the nearby city of Stuttgart. The church in the distance is likely Johanneskirche, parts of which date to the 8th Century.

2024-11-25 - Stuttgart, Germany - Photo by Veronica Arnold.
On their trip to Germany, the Arnolds paid a visit to The Old Palace (German: Altes Schloss), a former castle located on the Schillerplatz in Stuttgart.

Veronica says "In the mid-1700s, the Altes Schloss was deemed not nice enough and a new castle was built and the Altes Schloss was left to be the warehouse for the court royalty to store their archeological finds and collections. The antiquities were of various time periods, and from all over the globe. they even had globes and various tools used in navigation in the 1600s."

The Palace is home to the Landesmuseum's exhibits on Stone Age and Roman artifacts, paintings, and a recounting of ancient regional history. You can read more about The Old Palace at Wikipedia.

On their trip to Germany, the Arnolds paid a visit to The Old Palace (German: Altes Schloss), a former castle located in Stuttgart, which is home to the Landesmuseum.

Wikipedia says that "The Landesmuseum Wuerttemberg (Wuerttemberg State Museum) is the main historical museum of the Wuerttemberg part of the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. It emerged from the 16th-century 'Kunstkammer' (Cabinet of art and curiosities) of the dukes, later kings, of Wuerttemberg who resided in Stuttgart."

Among the curiosities in the photo is a globe at bottom left that may have been presented by Johann Anton Riedinger as an inaugural gift in the mid-1700s to the then Duke of Wuerttemberg.
