The door of a brewery a couple doors down from the bed and breakfast where we stayed.

a detail of the Rathaus (city hall) facade

 a toy shop called "Play Dream".  I love how even very utilitarian places like a hardware store are totally charming.

 Had to document this: the first time I've ever mentioned tap water at a German restaurant and not been met with scorn and disapproval.  The waiter even offered to put ice and lime in it!  The people of Quedlinburg definitely seem to be keen to attract more tourists.  And this wasn't even at a touristy place--more of a local hangout we stumbled upon.

 The older half-timber houses (like the one above) have loads more decorative details, whereas the ones from the 18th-19th centuries are much more bare bones, like below.

In the back courtyards, people have a lot more latitude to put in modern windows and paint things whatever colors they want, as they preservation codes aren't as strict as for facades on the street.
