In Halle we visited the Franckesche Stiftungen. Founded in 1698, it was home for orphans and poor children who received academic and vocational training.

Quedlinburg is one of a handful of German cities retaining its early modern character. A number of houses here date from the 1500s.

The cathedral of Magdeburg is on the left behind the light colored block building. The Schwenkfelders would have seen the church as they passed by on the boats.

A major attraction not far from the cathedral is this apartment / shop complex designed by Hundertwasser.
