The distinctive onion dome of a Gründerzeit building in Halle with a slate-covered roof and delicate weather vane. The brick facade displays typical Gründerzeit elements: round-arched windows with sandstone surrounds, a carved crest above the corner window, green shutters, and a richly decorated eaves cornice with wrought-iron balcony railing. A fir tree enters the foreground. Captured at 70mm and ƒ/5.6 against an overcast summer sky — an architectural detail documenting the building culture of the turn of the century.
