The living room of my new apartment. The windows overlook the Hauptstrasse.

The other side of the living room. Note the pillow that serves as my only piece of furniture. ;-)

A more accurate represntation of my living room, given that I have no light. The other pics are taken with flash.

The windows of my bedroom, directly above the living room. These windows also overlook the Hauptstrasse.

My living room the next day. This is my first morning in my new apartment.

The other side of the living room during the day. I now have moved some of my belongings in, note the items on the shelf.

The hallway, as seen from the living room. The apartment entrance is on the right. The bathroom is on the left, and just beyond that on the left is the kitchen, and beyond that on the right are the stairs to the second floor (bedroom), and at the very end of the hall is the glass door to the balcony.

A closer look at the door to the balcony.

The kitchen, whose windows face the balcony.

The kitchen as I received it. On the left is a cabinet housing a refridgerator on top, and storage below. On the right is the sink, ceramic cooktop, and cupboard underneath.

A wall shelf in the kitchen that was included in my purchase. You can see the 3 plates and spatula I have until my things arrive. ;-)

This is my lovely housewarming gift from Kai and Katze. Bread and salt according to German tradition.

This is the view out my living room of the Hauptstrasse in the direction of the Castle.

Again the view toward the Castle. The steeple is from the famous Heiliggeistkirche.

The view out the window in the other direction (away from the Castle, toward Bismarckplatz)
