During my recent trip to Germany, I visited the spa town of Bad Nauheim, where my great-aunt and great-grandmother used to live, for the first time in nearly 30 years. My great-aunt, Esther Düsselmann, used to have a bed & breakfast which around 1973 looked like this:
On my visit I was pleased to find out that the people who bought the house in the 1980s have renovated it very nicely and are still using it (as offices):
Only the garden looks as messy as ever, so I had to take the picture from the side, as the house is barely visible from the front.
Bad Nauheim is of course famous for the early 20th century spa buildings:
... and for the fact that Elvis resided there during his military service in nearby Friedberg:
PS More about the Düsselmann family is to be found in this
blog entry and in the links therein.
Update 8.12.2024 I revisited Bad Nauheim last month, and the house looks still splendid. The hedge is now tidier than it was in 2010, so the house is better visible. See my
photos on flickr.
