We weren't married yet, but engaged for to be married in August 1975.
The photo is taken somewhere in Northern Germany (probably Lübeck) June 1975.
We went for a small vacation there back then.
I'm very pleased that I found some photos of Ulla when she was that young,
she never liked to be photographed. I wonder why; here's she's a great subject
and the setting is nice too IMO.
Considering this is a scanned copy of a 37 year old color-slide, this is a fair quality.
I didn't even have a great camera back then - this is taken with a Konica C35V
with a Konica Hexanon 38mm 2,8 fixed lens. A good little P&S camera back then,
but you had no idea how the photo would look like until you got the slides back...
it's so easy to take great photos today with the digital cameras!

The view from the high church-tower (St. Petri church) in the center of the old city. June 1975.
The both churches in the view are "Kath.Propstei Kirche Herz-Jesu" and the Cathedral of Lübeck (with two towers).
St. Petri Church (Petrikirche) in Lübeck is a Gothic building. It is a five aisled church which today no longer holds any services. Instead, you can see many concerts held here throughout the year. The tall tower can also be ascended by way of an elevator for some magnificent views over Lübeck. The building was badly damaged in bombing raids of 1942 and required significant reconstruction to bring it back to its original form.

Hospital of the Holy Spirit - The Heiligen-Geist-Hospital - photo from 1975.
Five towers and a long tradition
The Heiligen-Geist-Hospital at Koberg certainly belongs among the major Old Town sights. Lübeck´s wealthy merchants designed the building to be a home for the poor and sick in 1280, and it still has an old people´s home within its walls today. Built from 1276-1286, the beautiful brick building with its 5 spires is one of Europe´s oldest hospitals. Originally a civil social institution, it was later run by the church. A church with remarkable mural paintings also belongs to the large complex, as does the so called "long house" which used to be the dormatory. There are several nice retaurants beneath the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, and in winter a very picturesque christmas market with lots of handcrafted products takes place here.
