Oh, communism was invented in Trier, I guess that tops "the spiritual home of Microsoft" |

Whoever took this photo would have been standing outside the very building in which I was born, in a hippyish 70s homebirth.

The hospital isn't quite visible in these photographs, but it's within reasonable walking distance from where the photographers would have been standing.  
And although I was born here in town, I actually grew up in a 'suburb' of this place.
