Here is a detailed alt-text description of the image in English:
The image shows a close-up of the facade of a traditional half-timbered building. The upper part of the facade features a decorative wooden beam with an inscription in German, written in an old-fashioned script. The inscription reads: "WARE GOTTES FORCHT ALLEIN BRINGET GLÜCK VND SEGEN HEREIN AMEN", which translates to "TRUE FEAR OF GOD BRINGS HAPPINESS AND BLESSINGS AMEN"
Below the inscription, the beam is adorned with colorful, ornate patterns in green, red, and gold. The facade itself is characterized by exposed wooden beams and infill made of light-colored bricks arranged in a pattern. There are two white-framed windows with multiple panes, reflecting the surroundings and adding a touch of brightness to the building. The overall appearance of the building reflects traditional German architectural style, combining both aesthetic and cultural elements.

The image depicts the interior of a traditional half-timbered building, likely historical in nature. The walls are characterized by exposed wooden beams with white plaster in between, giving the space a rustic and vintage charm. The floor is covered with small, patterned tiles.
In the center of the room, a wooden staircase leads to an upper level, which features a railing and additional display space. On the upper level, there are black-and-white photographs mounted on the wall, depicting historical scenes or figures.
On the lower level, to the right, there is a large framed portrait of a woman dressed in historical attire, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century. The portrait is propped up on an easel.
To the left, there is an old-fashioned, ornate cast-iron stove with decorative elements, and a green plant placed beside it, adding a touch of natural color to the room. The overall atmosphere is one of historical preservation, evoking a sense of nostalgia and curiosity about the past.

Ein Blick durch ein altes, kreisförmiges Fenster mit schwarzem, abgenutztem Rahmen. Das Fenster ist in mehrere Segmente unterteilt und bietet eine Aussicht auf eine blühende, rosa Baumkrone im Vordergrund. Im Hintergrund sind Häuser mit Ziegeldächern, ein Schuppen und eine grüne, leicht hügelige Landschaft zu sehen. Rechts und links des Fensters sind weitere Ausschnitte der Umgebung sichtbar, darunter ein Gartenbereich mit Büschen und Bäumen. Die Szene vermittelt eine idyllische, ländliche Atmosphäre im Frühling.

On 17 September 2021, this #archway from 1903 was demolished in #Olsberg because it was cheaper than restoring it.

the clockwork

This is the clockwork of the coachman's house of the Kropff-Federtath Foundation in Olsberg.
It was manufactured in 1904 by the company "Turmuhrenfabrik und Glockengießerei J. F. Weule" in Bockenem (Ambergau).
The widow of the Olsberg industrialist Caspar Kropff, Ida Kropff-Federath, commissioned the installation.
The clockwork, the clock and the associated bell are still working today!

Auch diese Fotos sind Werke meines Vaters, Hans Martin Köster.
