I spy a turret
Burg Lichtenberg is the biggest (or at least longest) castle ruin in Germany. It was built around the year 1200 and was never conquered or destroyed in war. However, a fire in 1799 left it in ruins. It currently houses a youth hostel, a museum about the wandering musician tradition of the the region, an ultra-modern geological museum and is home to the Palatia Jazz Festival.

Corner turret
Another old city apartment building, a few blocks away from 2009-08-02. This one looks more solidly Teutonic.
When taking shots of the wonderful variety of buildings in this part of town, I encountered an issue that all photographers must come across: privacy. People live here and do not want to take, nor look like I am taking, shots of the interiors of people's homes. I wondered how others handled this issue.

One of three or four turrets overlooking the Staden park area on the River Saar. Two of the others are used as a kiosk to sell beer and coffee (2009-01-05) and are really popular in summer. This one is unused, perhaps waiting for an entrepreneur with a good idea for turret exploitation.
