'Rosegarden of the Dornburg castles.'
Three castles in a row, one romanesque, one renaissance and one rococo. Goethe retreated into the southernmost of the three Dornburg castles during the summer of 1828, leaving his ministerial worries behind. He did so with his employer, duke Carl August of Sachsen-Weimar, a small state that was especially famous in cultural circles.
Goethe loved to wander around the rose gardens surrounding the middle rococo castle, from where he had a beautiful view upon the river Saale down below. An inspiring spot, where famous pieces of literature were concepted. When he went, everything was kept as he had left it behind. Or so says the concierge. Thus the drawings he brought from his travels to Italy are still hanging in the same place. And his bed is as neat now as it was during his life; as an experienced traveller he had always preferred his field bed.

'Schloss Charlottenburg.'
When roaming through the baroque, rococo, romantic, classicist and Biedermeier interiors it is hard to believe that bombs devastated Schloss Charlottenburg in 1943. Originally it was built as a present of elector Friedrich III to his wife Sophie Charlotte, and post-war Berlin went into full overdrive to return this architectural and historical jewel to its citizens. Berliners love to go there, especially on hot summer days when the park and waters offer shade and cooling.

'Vienna flair.'
Many clichés about Vienna are true, but one has turned wrong: that Vienna is droll. After the fall of the Berlin Wall suddenly Vienna wasn't a provincal town at the edge of Europe anymore, but a metropole in its heart. The last ten years the rejuvenation has accelerated. Vienna has flair like in the old days! Photo Paul Smit](http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/photos/138807169_xyeUf-Ti.jpg "Smit & Palarczyk > [AUSTRIA.WIEN 04327]

The larger of the two Brissago Islands was until 1949 in the hands of the Max Emden, owner of a German chain of department stores. When 60 he decided to become a 'Lebenserotiker' as a way of retirement. The female beauties, gamboling about naked on his island, caused a stir regularly. His favorite passtime was sitting in his rocking chair at this pool, throwing coins in the water and looking at the ladies diving after them.
