| General Description : | Another one printed in RED in 1965 Lorsch is a town in the Bergstraße district in Hesse, Germany, 60 km south of Frankfurt. The 9th-century 'Torhalle' (gatehouse) is a unique survival of the Carolingian era. It curiously combines some elements of the Roman triumphal arch (arch-shaped passageways, half-columns) with the vernacular Teutonic heritage (baseless triangles of the blind arcade, polychromatic masonry). |
