Stadtbrücke (City Bridge) over the Salzach River in Salzburg (Austria)

 
"As a reminder and warning. In Salzburg, more than 230 gipsys fell victim to the National Socialist racial policy. Imprisoned in the so-called "Maxglan Gypsy Camp", they were forced to do forced labor as part of the Glan Regulation. In the spring of 1943, they were deported to the extermination camps."

Plaque in Stadtbrücke,
about gipsy slaves who worked
in the construction of this bridge

Old Makarsteg over the Salzach River in Salzburg (Austria)



Old squares sunlit silence.
Deep spun in blue and gold
Dreamily hasten gentle nuns
Under the sultry beech trees’ silence.
From brown illumined churches
Gazes death’s pure images,
Fine armorial bearings of mighty princes.
Crowns shimmer in the churches.
....

Bridge crossing the Salzach River between Freilassing (Germany) and Salzburg (Austria)



En férreas contracciones de serpiente
ondula el tren por la campiña verde;
cruza en nervioso trepidar un puente
y en la sombra de un gran túnel se pierde.
