They get around . . . Lemgo in Germany Christmas 2005

Crikey, that brings back memories of when I was stationed in Detmold in the mid 80's! Don't think the phone box was there then though! Lemgo was/is a very picturesque town.

That Lemgo phone box must have been acquired from Hull. We have white phone boxes there, courtesy of our own phone company KCCom.

Lol if my memory serves me correctly that's the "Junkerhaus"?? I never went in it but did marvel at the architecture!  I used to have some german friends that lived in Lemgo which is why I know a bit about the town, plus I used to drive through Lemgo to go fishing on the Weser at Vlotho.

Junkerhaus is correct. We visited Detmold a few times as my wife's brother and his family lived there. Like you he was stationed at Detmold and also up the road (as he put it) at Bielefeld. After his army service he stayed on there working as a civilian for the army, delivering post, etc between bases.

Just one more pic to jog your memory:
