Ansbach

I thought I was underprepared for Nuremberg and Regensburg, well I was completely unprepared for Ansbach. It wasn't even on our list. Ever. Not even long before I pared it down.

We knew there was a garden. There was a cafe in the Orangerie. It wasn't far from where we parked. So we went to eat lunch, walked through the garden. We saw the outside of the palace, and I don't know why we didn't go in.

Tired. Didn't feel like it. Grouchy. That's why. Too much travel.

But we were there and we were going to see something. So lunch outside, then garden, then wandered the Altstadt. Two churches.

I did learn that Ansbach was another Hohenzollern town. That promotion to Margrave of Brandenburg really helped them out, I can see that. One century, they're counts, maybe not even counts, maybe simple Freiherrs of some towns and lands in Franken, a couple centuries later, Kings of Prussia, another one, BAM! Emperors of Germany. Not that THAT lasted a long time.もっと詳しく
