生活在鐘塔塔尖上的女人住宅欣賞

Hello Gottle I'm Blanca Gnodl the tower keeper from the Blue Tower in Wümpfen Now I'd like to show you around my home My home is my tower not my castle Come So I'm now heading up to my apartment There are still 134 steps to go And then a few more steps up to the circular walkway But we'll make it to the 134th Also here is the toll booth Here's the entrance to my apartment and that's also the cash register A toll booth is called a fee payer at a lofty height I have entry tickets here for those who go up they can then continue upward and enjoy the view And it's my job to be here to keep the tower standing and to live here because we have Germany's longest-standing Törner tradition I'm number 32 and the first independent woman People come from all over Sometimes visitors show up just to see my apartment out of curiosity What was life like before the 800-year-old tower Now I’ll show you this apartment too So this is my apartment now Fifty-three square meters and twenty-five meters high Here is our dining table where my children used to sit during lunchtime Then there was a buzz and someone whose mouth was just empty stood up He bought a little leaf and didn’t return it just kept eating And so we often spent our lunchtime like that Still do today It's always been my dream to be back in Bümfer and then on the Blue Tower Such a thing has never happened since time immemorial At the city's landmark the Blue Tower a woman moved in yesterday—Bümfen's first female tower keeper in history Thirty competitors came in behind me I was absolutely thrilled and overjoyed—this was like winning the lottery for me And now this 800-year-old tower belongs to me The Blue Tower also belongs to the town of Bad Bümfen I have a lease agreement with the city I don't pay rent but I still have a rental agreement and I settle my income with the Alt Bümfen association And here is ancient city map of Bad Bümfen Everything is marked everything is from Bad Bümfen There 's no more Bümfen to be shown here Everything lives here—these are all memories I'm alone here and my entire apartment tells a story This corner bench wasn't here before when my children still lived here Back then I had a bed that was 80 centimeters wide It was like a couch We sat on it during the day and at night I slept on it And it wasn't a problem because I was the first one up and the last one to go to bed And the children have their rooms back there Here we have something truly special This is a 200-year-old piano situated on an 800 -year-old tower It is a Blütener from Leipzig I carried two men up here in seven minutes These bears And by evening it's all shut down And then I said for heaven's sake something terrible has happened This is the wrong piano We should have taken photos of those faces Here these are my three children who have lived with me These are the parents grandparents great-grandparents great-great-grandparents great-great-great-grandparents Also three watches they'll all need to shift a bit closer now Because Katja has made two messes So that means I'm a native of Bad Wimpfen and I'll still be speaking this ancient dialect for quite a while longer So now I'll show you where I'm sleeping right now This is my domain now This was my son's childhood room Four square meters He was happy with four square meters It was arranged differently and had a door to close And now I have my sweet dreams here Before we moved in at 96 this entire space was one large room with white walls There were no partitions It was just the bathroom door that needed closing nothing else And then I planned it out and built it with my buddy And that’s what came of it How do I fit four people into one room while ensuring everyone has a bit of privacy And I'm truly happy and proud that it turned out so beautifully The ceiling here is a roof-mounted structure made of lampshade paper So it's not so dark in there and to have a sense of lightness And now I have my bed here and I feel wonderfully cozy So that was my son's room Now I'll show you where my two girls slept Over there So they could then climb up there lie down in bed or play around And they could close the door It was such a cozy little nook up there And there were always lots of friends visiting to sleep in it They thought it was awesome up on the tower It felt like a youth of the mountains It always fit perfectly And whenever something bigger was coming up—celebration party birthday— Then I emigrated and that was that I could make time free every weekend Well that was already quite exhausting During puberty that punk phase just faded away like that Then I poured myself a glass of wine It could have been noon or two in the afternoon—I was already up And at ten I drank it calmly And thought to myself my God how alike the world is—what’s stirring up there There I was cleansed and back down again no longer checking Those were my survival tips So and down here we now have an office My children did their schoolwork there The wardrobes were in there And now it's just a computer room On an 800-year-old tower The blue tower is also protected as a historical monument dating back 800 years and has recently been restored once again But my apartment I could furnish exactly as I’ve done now There were no issues with the city or any concerns from the heritage preservation board or anything like that Then a moderator from WDR called me Could they possibly send someone over again to film my apartment They're doing a feature on tiny houses and apparently I'm considered a pioneer in that field I am now not only the only woman in Germany living this way on the tower but also the highest Tiny House We've never regretted our decision to move here not for a single moment Looking out the window and taking in everything visible across the city and into the inner courtyards you can discover quite a lot And then such ascents such descents Rainbow Lake where they begin where they end It already has a great atmosphere At first of course you inevitably arrive without having made it and you forget your car key Also 134 steps back up My kids occasionally forgot the sound bag I'd toss it out the window then After that they were glad they didn't have to climb high And here this is my kitchen Small but perfect Everything you need I have short distances to reach everything when I'm clearing the dishes or cooking—it's all within easy reach You won't get anything out of the biggest kitchen if you can't cook And as you can see from my well-seasoned upper and lower cheeks I know how to cook And when cooking she looks absolutely stunning Breakfast together is lovely Especially when the sun rises over there That’s just extra special for me That's also one of my favorite pieces It's a grandfather clock I treated myself to it on the occasion of my daughter's cesarean birth And that's exactly 36 years old But here's Big Ben I have a regulator over there Then the church tower strikes Then my rook moves So I always know what time it is And here I also have mini-towers We have an entire collection of them And this tower was created by one of my artists over it For the restoration of the blue tower We distributed these in restaurants and shops nationwide Butchers everywhere And it brought in 40 000 Every Wimpfner felt it deeply I did my part too The tower was closed from 2017 to 2022 Which renovation worker sustained the crack And I had to go into exile sadly And now I'm glad I'm back here and staying And here I have a pair of binoculars Today I only look out the window for pleasure The towers once had other purposes as well They had to watch for fire for enemies They had to sound the hour Today it's a tourist attraction And I'm not upset that it's not the way it used to be Now top it all off we have a beautiful bathroom Here's a hot tub An 800-year-old tower with a hot tub If Barbarossa were still around he'd be taking a bath with me too And up there sand from all around the world Maldives Namibia—my daughter worked there Dubai Oman Sri Lanka—she was on vacation And here is my Spain I lived and worked there And these are my cherished memories of that time So now we've seen the apartment Now I'll show you how I do my shopping and carry it up It's also quite an adventure But people are helping and it's a lot of fun I'll show you right away So here we are A centerpiece in the tower This is my beloved windmill She'll stay down there until I get back from shopping If the weather is that nice I sit down on the bench below the tower And wait until some respectable man comes by Then I make a deal He can go up for free as long as he carries my bag up to the third floor for me Or sometimes all the way to the top And it works It always works People have fun They do it once and get hooked Now we're heading to the absolute highlight Up onto the platform And then you'll get to see all the amazing things you can experience and view up there So here is my spot high up in the air In the sun Sunrises sunsets And this is where one can truly stay Marvelous It's absolutely wonderful You can look anywhere as far as the eye can see This is my absolute dream in life—being up there And that I'm still relatively fit I'm also making an effort to keep it that way And I want to enjoy it many more times yet That's truly a love for the tower And I believe he loves me too So now you've seen how I live in my paradise—on the blue tower I'd love it if you commented and said you'd visit me someday And if you'd like to see more properties interesting houses or
