On Monday I told you about visiting Rudesheim and the Drosslegasse. Today I want to share a few more pictures of some of the pretty signs in Rudesheim.
There were not only just signs, but painted signs on the sides of buildings in Rudesheim.
I love the lamb painted above the La Bamba Cocktail Bar.
And the Weingut Kilp had a metal sign with a grapevine wreath surrounding a goblet or chalice.
Some were plain, like the hotel sign. And some were small leading to businesses off the beaten path.
Most of them though were decorative metal signs.
This one with the gilded sun and tankard really caught our eye.
And when we got to the Drosselgasse, they became even more ornate, with lots of details, like this one with the three little men above. There were even relief carvings on the buildings. And lots and lots of grapes and wine motifs.
Just look at the detail surrounding that window above.
They were for restaurants, biergartens, cafes and hotels.
I liked the gilding on this sign and the little cherub.
Some had a kitschy kind of feel.
Some were pretty simple, but still you knew this was a wine growing town!
But this was my favorite. This one had so much detail, it even has passengers riding in the carriage. It is not just a sign but a neat little piece of art. It was fun taking notice of the many little signs in and around Rudesheim. I am sure there are lots of others that I missed, we were only there for a few hours as we stopped while on a Viking River Cruise. Maybe some day I will have more time to explore and see what other signs I can find.
