~meoralis~#Fürstenwall ("duke's wall") for #FootpathFriday. This lime tree #avenue in #Magdeburg is right behind Magdeburg Cathedral, connecting it to Kloster Unser Lieben Frauen, a former monastery that's now an art museum.
I was playing around (unsuccessfully) with tilt-shift mode on my camera while standing in front of the Kiek in de Köken tower, which I posted about earlier today. Some time after erecting Kiek in de Köken and the other defensive towers, they were connected by fortified city walls. The space between the double walls was filled in after the people of Magdeburg used it to dump their waste, creating a wide walkway.
In the early 1700s, the site was no longer used as fortifications and was rebuilt to house gardens, private living quarters, parks, and enterprises. It was one of Germany's first public esplanades and offers a great view over the River Elbe.
