Postcard from Germany: Sundial in a VIneyard – Cadran solaire dans un vignoble

Now this has to be the most original sundial I’ve seen yet – in the middle of the vineyards overlooking the Moselle River near Bernkastel-Kues. They were built in the 19th century so that the workers knew when to knock off for lunch or go home for the day!
Ce cadran solaire doit être le plus original que j’ai vu jusqu’ici. Construits en plein milieu des vignobles surplombant la Moselle près de Bernkastel-Kues au 19ème siècle, ils étaient destinés aux ouvriers pour prendre leur repas de midi et terminer le travail de la journée.
