Engelkreisel Blechelse - Kelkheim 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Monument

Angel Roundabout Blechelse - Kelkheim 🚴‍♂️

A real eye-catcher, the angel roundabout in Kelkheim truly deserves another spin around the winged Blechelse.. 🚴‍♂️

The now symbolic traffic circle with the angel stands unmistakably on Königssteiner Straße/Frankenallee.

When the first traffic circle in Kelkheim was built at the main cemetery in 2010, there was no money left for a work of art. A large garden gnome served as a placeholder. Apparently, many couldn't understand that this was meant to be funny, and Fred, the garden gnome, was destroyed several times. How surprised the people of Kelkheim were when one morning a large female figure with raised arms and wings spread wide stood in the traffic island.
The figure is the work of metalworker Luigi Mulé from Kelkheim. It is made of sheet metal and weighs 160 tons. Twenty friends had to help in a cloak-and-dagger operation to secretly erect the figure overnight on the roundabout hill. Kelheim's iconic figure is now permanently in place. And the people of Kelkheim even gave the sculpture a name: "Rotary Angel" or "Blech Angel"... 🚴‍♂️

Built between 1970 and 1972 on behalf of the then Farbwerke Hoechst works bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with only a single pylon, which spans the Main in the west of the industrial area at Sindlingen. The bridge, which is about 300 meters long, creates a railway and road link in-house and is a public pedestrian and bicycle bridge outside the factory premises.

This narrow, well-paved little country road is located between Okriftel and Sindlingen, where you can really pedal or take a look over the fields.

Historic advertising column

Highlight • Monument

Honestly, have you ever really looked at a Litfaß column? The column itself, not what's stuck on it?
If not, here's your first opportunity. The Berlin printer Ernst Litfaß invented these "advertising columns" and realized the first one in Berlin in 1854. Even though the basic shape has remained practically unchanged since then, they differ in details.
I unfortunately haven't been able to find out exactly when this particular specimen was erected at the Hofheim bus station. If anyone has more detailed information, please feel free to add it. Since the nearby Hofheim train station was opened on October 15, 1877, and considering the concrete dome shape on the column, I would initially guess the late 19th or early 20th century.
Have fun with the two or three minutes you spend looking more closely at something you usually overlook!

Hofheim Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Pretty old town that would have almost fallen victim to modernization in the 70s if it hadn't been protested against. You can comfortably walk through them with their small alleys and the main street. Worth seeing: e.g. Old Town Hall, Church of St. Peter and Paul, old fortification section with "little tower" near Untertor, the city museum next to the winery building and the old "moated castle". Naturally, there are also numerous half-timbered houses, for example in the Langgasse/Stollbergstraße area.
