Germans!--need the namesake of Beethovenstrasse explained on a street sign? The signage department's one-word description of the man's profession seems woefully inadequate, given the effort it must have taken to include it in the first place.
- Beethovenstrasse -
Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827
Composer
And speaking of stating the obvious, the sign under this peeing statue in the Altstadt reads "Kein Trinkwasser" ("not drinkable water").
