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(..)

From there German airships made observation flights in the Gulf of Riga and went on the attack, bombarding strategic objects of the Russian Empire across the territory of what is now Latvia. Two massive hangars were built for housing these pioneering aircraft. The halls, 240-meters long, 47-meters wide and 38-meters high were named Walhalla and Walther, following German mythology.

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!
