Worms, Germany - home of my Oma & Opa, where I used to come visit
Worms is one of the oldest and most historic of Germany cities, but more than that, it was also the home of my beloved grandparents (meine Oma and Opa), whom I visited there as a child.
This was my first trip back in over 55 years; they have passed on and I began my visit by going to their beautiful gravesite @ Hauptfriedhof Worms aka Friedhof Hochheimer Hohe which you can read about more here:

We then did several walkabouts, which included Ludwigsplatz where there is a statue/oblelisk to Ludwig V and then the nearby memorial to Martin Luther, a major leader in the Protestant Reformation. The memorial is the largest Martin Luther Memorial in the world & you can read more about it here:

Last, but not least, we visited the ancient Niebelungen Bridge - it happened to be closed for repairs, so we were not able to walk underneath it through the archway of the giant tower. Of course, all of Worms is mentioned in the famous Nibelung Legend, involving Siegried and Brunhilde. There are whimsical dragon statues all over the city to remind everyone of the legend and also includes a statue of Hagen throwing the jewels into the Rhein (Rhine River) - it is down by the beautiful promenade along the river.
Since I was only around 8 at the time, a lot of the sights are only vague memories to me, but the emotions came back of spending time with my beloved grandparents.
