Offenbach Shanty Town

More pictures from my stay in Offenbach.  I stayed in Offenbach because the hotel rates were lower. These photos were from an area behind my hotel.

This is a unique yard as there are no gardens, but in the right hand corner is a compost bin.



You can see my hotel from here. In the fore front and above a farmer’s field.

Between Offenbach and Neu-Isenburg is a huge shanty-town.  I thought about visiting but I honestly was afraid I would get lost.

This looks more like something you would see in East Germany not miles from Frankfurt.

All the houses had water barrels to collect rain water,  compost bins, and big garden plots.  They are living “green” and with  their home-grown produce eating healthy.


This is very uncommon for Germany. Typical streets in Germany are neat and clean, I have even seen people sweeping the street in front of their houses.
