today was city festival here in bad reichenhall, so a lot of people went around even in areas that are normally not open for the public - a good occasion for a seeing wanderer. on my ways i came to see the outside facilities of one of the oldest and most renowned hotels here, the axelmannstein (which now belongs to the radisson group). on the fence to their tennis court, unused probably for years now as i never heard the typical plop-plop, i found this sign, informing about the siesta hours. stunning for me was the typography: a font that was used around the time of the 2nd world war, but probably not much later. this is the first sign i found with a seemingly eternal life.
