St. John's Church, beautiful to look at. Exterior with flood marks

Stolzenfels Castle, on the other side of the Rhine.

The erection of this memorial (1920) dates back to what was later called the "interwar period." The aim was to leave a dignified memorial to the victims of the First World War—the war that would begin almost two decades later—with little foreseeable. In Bad Ems, the choice was made for an obelisk made of dark stone (presumably basalt) with a slight taper toward the top. The striking, legible inscription "To the dead brothers" emphasizes the community's connection to the fallen—many families mourned losses, with fathers and brothers who never returned to their homeland, some of whom were buried in foreign soil.

The gilded dome shines brightly, visible from afar, and its prominent location near the Lahn River in Bad Ems – albeit on the opposite bank from the town center – piques the curiosity of many a hiker or stroller. Orthodox churches, belonging to the various denominations of the Eastern Orthodox Church, can be seen in Germany from time to time, but they are not all that common. This church, moreover – which is not always the case – warmly welcomes visitors (entrance fee 1 euro). The sign on the entrance door prohibits photography, but the lady at reception allowed me to take a picture from the doorway (asking politely is often better than simply ignoring such a prohibition, which, unfortunately, happens all too often).

Healing spring in the spa district for all who are thirsty.

Charge and run while others lose time filling up with gas 😉
