Description

"Our new apartment is a dream..." (1)

The house has a large back garden, which Silvia and Wolfgang Hildesheimer took care of with passion:

"While I was crumbling the dried marjoram on the meat this morning, I remembered that I have not yet sent you the basil I promised you. I'll recover tomorrow. This year's harvest was satisfactory, the marjoram so-so, the sage scarce. This autumn we also fertilized the vegetable garden with a double load of manure." (2)
