Ghosts for #SpookySaturday


#Corvey #SchlossCorvey #CorveyPalace #Höxter




The gibberish is inspired by the Siobhán Donaghy song "Ghosts" (https://youtu.be/o5PMDae1tmM). I loved her album when it came out in 2007 (so 5 years ago 🥲) and I still do

Im #SchlossCorvey gibt es einige, wie hier im #Kaisersaal, wo die Äbte des Stifts Corvey als Reichsfürsten des Heiligen Römischen Reiches hohen Besuch empfingen. Heute wird er für Konzerte und Lesungen genutzt.

There's plenty at #Corvey Palace, like these #chairs in the Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall), a ceremonial reception hall where the abbots of Corvey Abbey – acting as territorial princes of the Holy Roman Empire – received prestigious guests. Today, it is used for concerts and book readings.

The grave of German poet Hoffmann von Fallersleben at #CorveyPalace for #CemeterySunday. He penned several popular and timeless children's songs and the poem that later became the German national anthem.

A #LentenRose on the small cemetery of #Corvey Palace for #FlowerFriday, not far from the grave of German poet Hoffmann von Fallersleben.
He wrote several popular and timeless children's songs (we all know them, yet I had no idea they were all penned by him!) and the poem that became our national anthem.
What stuck with me, though, was that at 51, he married his 18-year old niece. 👀 She died on their 11th wedding anniversary, giving birth to their fourth child. This flower is for you, Ida! 🥀

#FotoVorschlag: Türgriffe // Door handles & door knobs

#Türklinken habe ich einige, aber die sind für den #Doorsday reserviert. Darum heute hier, ohne #Tür fotografiert, ein #Türgriff im Karolingischen #Westwerk der #Stiftskirche von #Corvey, UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe in Höxter. Und ein Best of #Türgriffe bzw. Türklinken aus Magdeburg, die ich schon mal gezeigt habe oder noch zeigen werde // I have several gorgeous door handles to show you, but it isn't #Doorsday yet. So here's a #doorHandle I photographed without its #door, from the Carolingian #Westwork of the Abbey #church of #Corvey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in #Höxter. Plus a best of #doorHandles in Magdeburg I have already posted or am going to post at some point

A #haunted #library for #SpookySaturday 👻

(Yeah, ok, it's the venerable princely #Corvey library, one of the largest private #libraries in Germany. It houses one of the world's largest collections of Romantic literature and the largest collection in the world of "popular fiction in English between 1798 and 1834" – I bet there's a #spooky Gothic romance novel in there somewhere!)

Another #window of #CorveyPalace for #FensterFreitag. The walls may be faux marble, but the view is real! 😉

Last post of the day – a #Doorsday/#FensterFreitag crossover from the Princely Abbey and Palace of #Corvey. It's the #Geweihgang, the long gallery (and believe me, it's really long) of #antlers.
