The Philosophenweg 18/1
This picture was taken a day before New Year's Eve in 2008 in Heidelberg, Germany. To be more precise, it was taken in Neuenheim, the most expensive district/area in Heidelberg to live in.
It depicts a door bell with an integrated loudspeaker of a house on the Philosphenweg 18/1; a street that is located directly at the river Rhine at a mountain road. In order to understand the picture a little bit better, one should know that Philisophenweg (street of the philosophers) is the most famous street in Heidelberg because of the fact that celebrities and even former important German politicians used to have there residence there.
As a normal human being, it is nearly impossible to even get an apartment not to mention a property on Philosophenweg. It is just too expensive.
The story behind this picture is nevertheless a different one. The day for New Year's Eve, me and friends took a walk up to the mountains along the Philosophenweg. We were fascinated and electrified at the same time by the large mansions we saw next to each other on the Philosophenweg.
However, there was one mansion that stood out because it just seemed to be the perfect place to live in. The mansion's house number was 18/1, as the picture shows. The property was quite bigger in comparison to all the other ones on that street.
The mansion seemed to be in a perfect spot, high upon the mountain, so that it offered a beautiful view over Heidelberg and the surrounding countryside. One even had a clear view of the Heidelberger castle.
Unfortunately, we have never had the chance to get look inside the property because it was surrounded by a white wall that could only image what was behind these walls.
However, we declared this mansion the best place in which to live in all of Heidelberg. As a result of our excitement, we started to envision how we would spend our time living there. Of course we knew that this vision would never come true, however, we thought it to be worth dreaming about.
So we took a picture to remind ourselves of the dreams we share.
