I actually saw some for sale at Bakery Grobe in the Ruhrgebiet last week, which surprised me, because in my region they're not sold until St. Nicholas Day. I call them Stutenkerle BTW.

A look from Hohensyburg at where the River Lenne meets the River Ruhr. Note the railway bridge and the Autobahn A1 in the background. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet #FallFoliage

The view from Hohensyburg across the River Ruhr and the Hengstey reservoir. Note the defunct hydroelectric power plant on the shore. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet #FallFoliage

The statue of Count Helmuth von Moltke, chief of the Prussian General staff, flanking the Emperor on the other side. In spite of the lovely view, Count von Moltke looks permanently grumpy. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet

The statue of Count Otto von Bismarck at Hohensyburg, flanking his Emperor. Bismarck probably has more monuments throughout Germany than either of the three Emperors he served. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet

A closer look at Emperor Wilhelm I on horseback at Hohensyburg. Judging by the many monuments of him, you might be forgiven for thinking that Emperor Wilhelm I's main job was gazing benignly into the distance. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet

The Emperor Wilhelm I monument on Hohensyburg. Set up in 1902 and altered in 1935. The Second German Empire had a thing about putting monuments on mountains. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet

Eagly watches over the sleeping Chris. No, actually it's just the war memorial at Hohensyburg, designed by Friedrich Bagdons in 1930, but the goofy eagle is highly reminiscent of Peacemaker. #Hohensyburg #Ruhrgebiet

A look at the Dörenberg in Bad Iburg, the highest mountain in this part of the Teutoburg Forest with 332 meters above sea level. In front, you can see the forestry and the Dörenberg rehabilitation clinic. #BadIburg

A closer look at the Mythic Legions Clavius and Tibius skeleton warriors. A local collectibles shop had a Mythic Legions sale and I may have gone a tad crazy on the Skeletons, but then Mythic Legions make great Skeletons. #MythicLegions
