Carousel en Place Gutenberg-Strasbourg

Carousel en Place Gutenberg-Strasbourg
Occupa l'antico incrocio delle due principali vie della città romana di Argentoratum. Al suo centro si può vedere la Statua di Gutenberg (inventore della stampa che risiedette a Strasburgo a partire dal 1434 per una decina d'anni e proprio qui mise a punto la sua invenzione). La statua del 1840 è opera di David d'Angers e quando fu inaugurata i festeggiamenti durarono più di 3 gg durante i quali sfilarono le corporazioni di Strasburgo nelle loro uniformi di gala. Sullo zoccolo della statua quattro pannelli rappresentano i benefici della stampa nel mondo. Sul lato destro della statua si erge il Palazzo della Camera di Commercio, edificio rinascimentale del 1585 opera di Hans Schloch: presenta arcate, due ordini di finestre ed alto tetto mansardato. Ogni fine settimana i banchetti dei venditori di libri si radunano ai piedi della statua. Nel periodo di Natale accoglie il Mercatino degli artigiani del Paese invitato.

It occupies the former intersection of the two main streets of the Roman city of Argentoratum. In its centre is the Statue of Gutenberg (the inventor of printing, who lived in Strasbourg from 1434 onwards for about ten years and developed his invention here). The 1840 statue is the work of David d'Angers and when it was inaugurated, the festivities lasted more than three days during which the Strasbourg guilds paraded in their gala uniforms. On the plinth of the statue, four panels represent the benefits of printing in the world. On the right-hand side of the statue stands the Chamber of Commerce Building, a Renaissance building by Hans Schloch dating from 1585: it has arcades, two rows of windows and a high mansard roof. Every weekend, book sellers' stalls gather at the foot of the statue. During the Christmas period, it hosts the invited Country Crafts Market.

Yes, Nick. Sometimes I find one somewhere, of these old carousels. It remember me from my childhood when once in the year we became the visit of a group of nomads with different sort of carousel and some game. They stayed maybe a week. Sometime I find also an old song that reminds me on them.

I did never mount one of this maybe after I was ten years old, Nicolas :-)) I only looked at my nieces when we were there, about 30 years ago.

So schön ... solche Karussells sind leider selten geworden!
Heute müssen es doch Achterbanen mit möglichst grossem Nervenkitzel sein ...
