Fuggerei
A statue outside Augsburg's Fuggerei.
"The Fuggerei is the world's oldest social housing complex still in work. It is a walled enclave within the city of Augsburg, Bavaria. It takes it name from the Fugger family and was founded in 1516 by Jacob Fugger the Younger (known as "Jacob Fugger the Rich") as a place where the needy citizens of Augsburg could be housed. By 1523, 52 houses had been built, and in the coming years the area expanded with various streets, small squares and a church. The gates were locked at night, so the Fuggerei was, in its own right, very similar to a small independent medieval town. It is still inhabited today, affording it the status of being the oldest social housing project in the world." [from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuggerei]

Saludos Adam
Ich wünsche mir, dass du in unsere Sammlung von Brunnen-Fotos gelegentlich ein Foto von diesem Neptunbrunnen auf dem Jakobsplatz einstellst und dann dieses Foto von der Skulptur als PiP einfügst.
Du hast völlig zu recht dieses Foto in die Gruppe für Skulpturen-Fotos eingestellt.
