Quedlinburg - Fachwerk

Here's a selection of photos of the half-timbered houses and streets in Quedlinburg.  There were quite a lot of buildings undergoing renovation and many more in need of it.  Lots of signs indicating that funding for the renovation work was provided by many different levels of government.  Quedlinburg used to be part of East Germany, and the towns in this part of the country seem to be less affluent and more run-down.

This one is currently being renovated.  New beams replacing old.  Note the cellar.
