Pouring rain.in Straubing. Only very few people can be seen on the central square of the town, that is dominated by the Stadtturm (city-tower), the 68 meters high landmark of Straubing. The central square in Straubing is 600 meters long. In 1812 young Prince Ludwig (later King Ludwig I of Bavaria) and his wife visited Straubing. Since then one side of the place is named "Ludwigsplatz", while the opposite side is "Theresienplatz". Over centuries a watchman lived up on the tower. The last of the watchmen left the tower in 1930.
