Where in the Heat III: Cocktails at the playground

places - as already mentioned - in Karlsruhe many, secluded, on heat, still and shrill. A slow awakening to life's tip is the triangular Lidellplatz in the eastern city center, located at the intersection of Marquis and Eagle Road. Used to be the town hospital was, a benefactor of the institution gave the place its name. Until 1907 the first patient, the hospital based in Moltke Street.
Today, the visitor is only the self-medication in the Carlos cocktail bar. The power here at upscale-especially compared to the widespread undrinkable Happy Hour offers - quality cocktail fun. With three mojitos and a little imagination the bartender remembers his white coat then even the nurses in the closed psychiatric ward. And the most ingenious: Any children on the adjacent playground, meanwhile, well looked after.
has torn holes in the thick of alcohol stomach, can not fill with Carlos' tapas, it sways slightly a few meters away - the playground in sight - to the small chain. We ate here not quite cheap, but for home cooking. Opposite there was still the trade center, but the café palaver drink eco-Boheme - men in red, yellow or green jeans, girls in rural women look - vegetable lasagna saturated their cappuccino. Sun beschickert easy it is now nothing and the playground can be seen even from there. Still prefer the cafe bean and molasses-spirit with one, two espressos cast. Time enough to visualize even a little history of the place: Its original form, the area owes the course of the country Ditch, the Karlsruhe's first as a transport, was used later as a sewer. 1794, the Marquis gave in his wisdom, however, a miller in the concession for Mühlburg a mill. Through its operation the country has been digging a meter has been dammed. That should take revenge. The country muddy ditch and harassed citizens in the summer due to strong odors. The problem was solved by the stinking cesspool that in high water on top of that the adjoining areas flooded, with a vault built. The costs imposed on the royal cause, however the residents, but at least they transferred the ownership of the new above-ground surfaces above the ditch. The work took on Lidellplatz began. Finally, a municipal construction project that has paid off: Lots of space to sit outside to play, and the stink's doing not. (Mex)
