Riga Central Market, Latvia, July 4, 2024. Photo by D.P.
Thousands of visitors frequent the Riga Central Market – the Baltics’ largest market – each day, but many are unaware that a large portion of German military history is preserved in its food pavilions(..)

Zeppelin hangars, Vaiņode, Latvia, 1910-1920s
After the First World War ended in 1918 and the German Empire fell, newly-independent Latvia no longer had any use for the German airship base and its two zeppelin hangars. But the city of Riga did...

Tag 26: Riga
Mittwoch, 02. Juni 2021
Wir legen heute einen Ruhe- und Sightseeing-Tag in Riga ein. Leider sind die Kirchen und Museen geschlossen, deshalb und wegen der Corona-Beschränkungen gibt es kaum Touristen in der Stadt.
Die Markthalle - eine von vier - wurden ursprünglich in Kurzeme (Kurland) gebaut, wo sie in Vaiņode von der deutschen Armee als Zeppelin-Hangars genutzt wurden!
