#BjörnHöcke--Leading German fascist convicted

(1/n)

#Justitia omnibus, #Justice For All, the state motto of Washington, D.C. holds true in Germany.

Germany's most infamous #fascist, the state leader of the the fascist #AfD in #Thuringia and quite likely the next prime minister ("Governor") of the Free State of Thuringa, #BjörnHöcke, was held to account by the district court in Halle: 13,000 EUR.
What for, you might ask?...

#Germany’s far-right party suffered a surprise defeat in a widely watched regional election that has followed a fortnight of nationwide protests.

Mainstream parties have rallied together to try to block the rise of the #AfD in recent days. #Thuringia’s interior minister — a member of the Social Democratic party — even told voters in Saale-Orla to support the #CDU to stop #Thrum.

On our fourth hike in Germany we visited the Wartburg. While the outside was nice, the inside was truely unexpected.

#Wartburg #Germany #Castle #WartburgCastle #Eisenach #Thuringia #Historical #Thüringen #Kasteel

An elevated part of a room, looking somewhat like a stage. At the front of the stages are pillars, creating three arcs through which you can see the richly decorated backwall which has three long columns of writing on it. On both sides of the stage are benches against the wall. The front of the stage and the pillars are also richly decorates with geometric patterns and figures from nature.
Looking around a grey wall a grey gargoyle can be seen sitting on a downward sloping wall. Behind it the wall is painted orange to the left and green to the right and decorated with figures from nature.
A large hall with lots of wooden chairs in rows. The ceiling has elaborate wooden paneling and in the distance a sort of low stage is visible. The walls are richly decorated with colourful paintings, carvings and some tapestries.
A detail from an arch painted in red, orange, green, blue and gold and showing geometric patterns as well as figures from nature such as leaves and foxes.
A view of the upper part of a wall that is richly decorated in colourful paintings. To the sides a man and a woman are painted with halos around their heads. In the middle a man is sitting on a throne with a sword in his hand. Above all three people is an image of a castle. In between the people are arches where windows used to be which have been closed off.
A mural of a woman with a halo holding a baby and sheltering a child in her robes. In front of her is a child with a walking stick and behind her is another child looking backwards, as if fleeing from something.
A view along the outside of the Wartburg. To the left, part of the castle is made of red brick and yellow stone details. It has a tower with the German flag flying on top. To the right, most of the castle wall is white with half-timbered buildings on top and somewhat sticking out.

A display of the finds from this royal tomb dated to the Bronze Age, the period of the #Nebra Sky Disk. This is in the restaurant at highway 71 in #Thuringia. You can also walk from the resting area towards the tomb of Leubingen along a footpath.

Pack and Raft.

A rather simple trip that involved 7km walking with boat shoes on tarmac. I really expected soft forrest trails here but I had to work with whats there :D After a lunch break with some cold nutritious powder in filtered water I made the jump to inflate the boat and transition into the river to head back to the start through some wilder sections with a little white water.

500 letters is really a joke, where are we, SMS land?

A deep green "lagoon" with mirroring calm river section framed by the riverbank and trees in the foregound.
A swan on a dark river standing out together with scattered light form the river foam. Seaweed can bes seen under the surface with long leafs all pulled by the current into one direction.
A river barrier with whitewater sparkling all over and forrest in the background. In the front left the image is bordered with a green riverbank that has white and violett colored flowers on it that lean towards the artificial waterfall.

In case you haven't heard: In the German town of #Sonneberg, citizens have elected a right-wing extremist district administrator. This is the first time in history that the fascist #AfD party, which calls itself an “Alternative for Germany”, won that type of local elections.

The town is located in the Federal State of #Thuringia, which had been part of the “German Democratic Republic” – a.k.a. the Soviet occupation zone of #Germany – between 1945 and 1990.

Maybe, the Golden Twenties are over.
