August 2, 2003. A street scene in Nördlingen.
Nördlingen is a walled Medieval city.
Part of the city fortifications have been destroyed and replaced with a lower wall. Because the wall is missing here, the moat is exposed and occupied by a playground. Many people live in the wall or adjacent to it on the outside.
August 5, 2003. The poster session for the large impacts meeting was held in the basement of the Rathaus. I was able to squeeze a bit more out of the space available by pinning the map behind it. I also brought outcrop and core rock samples. The poster was

The building with the tower is the Nördlingen Rathaus, location of the poster session. The city of Nördlingen sees the Ries Crater Museum and ZERIN as an investment in the future.
A walk along the city wall is popular in the evenings. During mornings, the place was deserted.
This block is artificial suevite that was used to replace a badly damaged block.
