I’ve just published a collection of photographs from the beautiful, charming, and historic town of Bad Wimpfen, Germany. Bad Wimpfen: Photographs from a Southern German Town takes you on a tour through the medieval gothic monastery church and cloister and into the historic center of this small town in Germany’s southern state of Baden-Württemburg. It is available in a large hardcover with premium paper, which looks spectacular, and a smaller, less expensive paperback edition. Please take a look at the book’s own small website or the preview below. Copies can be purchased through any of these links.
From the front cover flap:
Nestled along the Neckar River in Southern Germany, Bad Wimpfen is a beautiful and picturesque town notable for its historic character and surviving medieval buildings. On the hill above the river, amongst the half-timber houses and winding streets, are the remains of an imperial palace. Below, next to the river, rests a monastic cloister and its church. Overlooking it all, the imperial palace’s nearly eight hundred year old Blue Tower still keeps watch.
In these eighty-four images, photographer Mark C. Christianson explores the town and cloister of Bad Wimpfen. His photos range from wide vistas and townscapes, through investigation of intimate details. He pays special attention to the details of the cloister—the town’s architectural gem—and the contemplative play of light and darkness within the sheltered openness of the cloister’s medieval passages.
Come along on a journey into a small, historic German town found in our own contemporary world: Bad Wimpfen.
