Yes, that's what caught my eye - perhaps it's attached to make everything look properly? (It is a German "Schrebergarten" at last - translating as "allotment" but this does not really describe this German tradition - puh, I could make a whole series about these ... however, a Schrebergarten has to be neat, proper and they have lot of rules and rules and rules (even about the height of the bushes etc.)
kobico (!), aaah, tell me what you did find out, please. This must be so surreal for a Non-German ... . Perhaps I will show some Schrebergarten decorations today (if I find a quote): Gartenzwerge
That's an interesting link, Martina. I have to admit I only got as far as being told what a Schrebergarten is. They have "community" gardens in the US, but they are not really geared for those in the lower economic brackets.
kobico, another interesting aspect is the difference between the German Schrebergärten and the Turkish/Maghrebi Schrebergärten - while the former are neat with flowers and gnomes the latter are mouthwatering with beans, pumpkins, onions, garlic and and and .. I am sure I once posted a photo - can't find it, though, :-(
Somehow either the lock or the string must be superfluous!
ReplyDeleteHow good is the detail of the thread.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the string. I've got a locked gate coming up in the industrial series.
ReplyDeleteJoan Elizabeth, as a relief to the chain? ;-)
