GERMANY ~ Helmstedt ~

... Lovely views of a town steeped in history... this historic university and Hanseatic city has an important monumental heritage of Romanesque and Renaissance buildings... as well as almost 400 half-timbered houses and professors' houses from the 16th and 17th centuries... with great special first day postmark👍 "First National Natural Monument"...the oak tress in the Ivenacker Oaks are among the oldest in North Germany... some of them date back 1000 years... Thanks a lot Dustin!【ツ】
