Carl Schurz Haus

My life is not all whining about German grammar. I've also been walking around some interesting post-WWII architecture in Freiburg. Not everything was recreating the bombed out Altstadt with reinforced concrete in historical styles. In fact, down the occasional alleyway there are great little modern adaptations of late Medieval houses, as though the stylistic rules were mainly enforced on front streets.

I have a couple of buildings that I just photographed - the downtown post office here and the French headquarters building - now the University Rectorate. Both are worth looking at.
