Part of the water hose sticks out into the picture

However, there is also a hose to be seen on this picture, which gives rise to the suspicion of deliberate manipulation. Already in the run-up to the match, according to information from this editorial office, there had been rumors that the people of maidbronn would prefer to have the game cancelled. Important players like patrick roder, who was suspended after a red card and was the linchpin of maidbronn’s offensive game, julian bedner or lukas hofer were not available.

A creaking wooden staircase leads to the second floor. Once you’ve reached the top, you’re standing in a cozy room between traditional costume fashions and peasant mobs.

The dealers want to get rid of their winter goods, in order to make as soon as possible place for the again arriving spring articles.
