Most had nothing left to keep after the war. Everything was in flames.
Some others - the very rich elite (as always!) - tried to hide their wealth, so the Amis couldn't steal it. Logicaly they did this in the Swiss banks. Swiss banks still hide a lot of dirty money of all kind.
Why do you ask? Are you interested in some old German Money? Or do you have some dirty money to wash? Maybe we could make business - just give me a call, man! ;)
No, it's not my picture. But I like it. And the story behind it.
Fugger was a very very rich tradesman some hundred years ago. Really rich and famous. To do something good, he let poorer people live in an of his houses. Instead of paying a high rent they had to pray for him every day! haha, cool! This hasn't changed until today This lovely little lady lives in this house for less then a Dollar or so. But she has to pray ;)

Yes, it's one of the coldest winter of the last few years.
But Media still writes, it's getting warmer and warmer.

Looks as though the old lady is about to climb on her broom and go for a little ride. Bet the kids in the neighborhood throw rocks at her.
Did you take this shot? She is smiling beneath that face, isn't she?
She must be a statue, haven't seen her even bat an eyelash since I've been back.
