dogs4fun Posted October 14, 2020 #126 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Rhein Mosel Halle? Nope, structure too modern. Other than the venues already mentioned, I can think of only the Kolbenz Theater and that is not the building in your photo. I am assuming this was a classical concert? That is my passion (I am a pianist) and I have no idea of the venue. Edited October 14, 2020 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted October 14, 2020 Author #127 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yes, too modern and too close in distance. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted October 14, 2020 Author #128 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I did the classical concert on a "day trip" meaning an early evening concert many years ago but I know classical concerts are available to river cruisers on a certain itinerary. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flag is of Neuwied (Engers is in that administration) and has the colours of the once noble House of Wied. It is a chamber music venue and famous for its Diana Hall. It was built as an Electoral Palace, the gentleman resided in Trier but had hunting expeditions from Engers into the forests - hence Diana. Over to you. notamermaid Edited October 14, 2020 by notamermaid Technical thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of it before now but looks like a lovely place to stay. Way to go! Crossed paths. The main building is the venue and academy with restaurant. Not sure how many actual guest rooms are in the building itself, but many are in an adjacent building that is not visible in the photo. One would need to enquire. There is a website of course with photos of the hall. The acoustics are good and I recommend it. I think Viking mainly sails this stretch at night so can be overlooked. The itinerary I hinted at is by Avalonwaterways on the Moselle and Rhine. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was focussed on making a difference between a guesthouse and a hotel (in tourism language). I did not realize you meant accommodation as such. Sorry. @Mitina Thanks for joining in. My, Robin was very quick! There sure are some nice castles standing atop European hills. That Chateau Gaillard -assuming it is correct - looks impressive, I try to imagine what it would have been like for a 14th century knight: "How I am supposed to attack that??" notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not have mattered if you had said it was a hotel/guesthouse and provided many more clues - I still would not have been able to correctly identify the venue. I truly had no idea - I had never seen or heard of it prior to today. I was looking at their website & learned that the owners of Engers is Landesstiftung Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz which trains musicians and organizes many chamber concerts throughout the region each year. Many of the young musicians in training live onsite. You can elect to book a room in Schloss Engers or in Residenz Schloss Engers - I think I would prefer the castle. When visiting Europe, depending on my destination(s), I usually have a list of places to visit where some of my favorite composers lived, worked or performed. I did manage to visit the birthplace of Beethoven's mother in Koblenz (I'm kinda obsessed with Beethoven). 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beethoven: that reminds me. They say in Bonn that they want to extent the Beethoven celebratory year into 2021.I have not read up on any details. And I have just remembered that I forgot to comment on jazzbeau's post on Liszt in the Rhine thread.

Rare notamermaid Posted October 14, 2020 Author #150 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Haven't a clue either. I guess erected between 1895 and 1910; either opera house or grand railway station. Certainly a city, in Europe? Or the European part of Russia. Or do they have these figures along a river in the US? The lady looks a little "heavy on muscles". Holding a strange-looking lyre (hence my idea of an opera house)? Basically, I am lost. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
