Whenever you come to Ludwigshafen (adjacent to Mannheim, Germany) for a visit to one of the biggest chemical industries in Germany (BASF), you should take some time for a visit in a rather dull place - the main station area, a 70ies urban experiment which is nowadays a disaster - missing shops, broken windows, a subway/tram station in a devastous state, and a main railway station which was opened as one of the most modern stations of europe...
In the middle of this area there is the Eurohotel Excelsior which has a wonderful bar in the 17th floor. It is opened to the public and it is absoluely 70ies style - since the opening of the hotel in the middle of the 70ies the design of the bar never changed. Cocktail prices are low, and when you look through the glass walls, you will see the bridge above. I took the photograph with a Canon EOS 30D and a tripod.
