Ahrensburg

R has moved on to the second area of his mission. This one is Ahrensburg. Located just northeast of Hamburg and southwest of Lubeck, Ahrensburg is a huge change from Siegen. It is in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany's northernmost state. It is not far from the watershed boundary between the North Sea to the northwest and the Baltic Sea to the northeast, but it is only 137' above sea level and is rather flat. R also works in surrounding communities including Delingsdorf and Bargteheide. It's most famous building is the Schloss Ahrensburg (Ahrensburg Castle) shown above.
Here are some other pictures from around Ahrensburg.


German art can be kind of strange (not unlike American art, actually), but can someone please tell me what the point of this sculpture is and why the city allowed it in their park?
