Interesting multifarious in Markt Bibart

Markt Bibart is a little town in northern Bavaria, between Neustadt a.d. Aisch and Kitzingen. It has a railway station, a church, one main street and a bunch of side ones. It doesn't seem very interesting... However, if you look carefully, you'll find many interesting little objects.

Graffiti depicting St. George, the Slayer of the Dragon and St. Ulrich von Augsburg.


Graffiti on the wall of the seat of the association of little animals' breeders.

Amateur folk sculpture depicting old man with gnarled stick. The man is wearing German military iron cross on his chest.
Capitol of the marterl - stone pillar shrine.
Virgin Mary with The Child - little alter on the wall

Flurbereiningungdenkmal Strullendorf

On the north corner of Strullendorf, at the foot path at Bamberger Str. (N49 50.870 E010 57.818) you'll see the 'Flurbereinigungdenkmal'. It's something very specific to Germany: a monument commemorating an action of agricultural land reorganizing. 

Near the monument, there's a Marterl from XVIII century and board commemorating sister city relation to Izsak in Hungary.

Little Holy Mary shrines on the walls, Forchheim

On my visit in Forchheim I've spotted many little shrines on the walls. The statues of Holy Mary are placed either in niches or outside, under little roof.

There's an interesting project near Rednitzhembach (south from Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany) called Kunstweg. It's the trail going through the fields, the forest and the town, near which there are various modern skulptures and art installations.
