Old Town Wetzlar: half timbered house

Wetzlar is a medieval  walled city in north west Germany. It features many of the half timbered houses, from the 1500s, built one story at at time so that over the centuries, each story has developed its own list. Some are elaborately restored and decorated as when they were new.

They are hard to photograph, especially in Wetzlar which still actively uses the cobble streets they are on. There are cars everywhere. And there is never a decent angle. I end up photographing snippets of building, and strange angles like this one.
