The mean 12th Century streets of Lich
The Apothecary business, alive and well in Lich
This house has been continually lived in since the 14oo's.
So we were escorted through the lovely towns of Lich (about 5km outside of the town we are using as a base in Germany). The title of the post comes from a brief history of the town as written on the side of one of it's oldest structures, a stone church. The time-line went something like this:
3000 BC - Village of Lich established
417 - Roman rule dissolved
550 - This Church is built
1918 - WWI ends
1947- WWII ends
I don't have a picture of the church as it wasn't all that impressive. Many of the structures you see though, (houses, ect) are all original from as early as the 13 or 14oo's. Oh, also, there was a Castle in town that we couldn't take a picture of. Why? Because someone lived there and that was their house. Who lives there? The Hessian Prince of Lich. The Castle was from the 1200's and the Prince's family used to own all of Lich but sold it off bit by bit. So yeah... I almost trespassed onto an ancient Germanic Prince's property because I couldn't read the "Stay the Hell out of Here" signs in German.
Anyways, here is Lich.
