GERMANY ~ Till Eulenspiegel - Coal Market - Brunswick ~

... One more pretty view of this wanderer and medieval prankster... if interested I wrote more about him  HERE... it shows the Till Eulenspiegel carillon in the attic of the building at Kohlmarkt 10 (dating from 1758)... the "Eulenspiegel-Haus", where the figure of the fool appears three times a day above the carillon and holds up the mirror to the people... with great First Day Special Postmark celebrating the 150th anniversary of Max and Moritz... also two mischievous little boys... just like Eulenspiegel... so I can consider this as a matching postmark😉... Big Thanks Dustin!  (✿ ♥‿♥)


The Coal Market (Kohlmarkt) was first documented in 1342, but likely predates that by several centuries. When Braunschweig was established in the 10thC, what is presently the Coal Market was one of its first settlements. Although its face has changed over the centuries, it has always remained a focal part of the city.
