The Rhine at Basel.

One of the several river powered ferrys in Basel.

The Muenster was being repaired but it was still impressive.

The Muenster was also impressive inside.

A surprise was finding Rickenbach pistols in the Basel Historical Museum. The second from the top and the bottom pistols are Rickenbachs.

The Historical Museum also had an excellent collection of period furniture arranged in typical rooms.

The Historical Museum is in an old Church.

This gentleman was located just outside our hotel. He is Rudolph Riggenbach who was active in preserving the old buildings in Basel.

Of course I had to visit the Archives in Basel. The staff were very helpfu and it was a successful visit.

One of the things I wanted to see. The "Rathsprotokoll" (Small Council Journal) for 1735.
