54 The World on a Teapot
Esslingen probably suffers because of its proximity to its more famous neighbour, Stuttgart. However, where the latter is a sprawling city of 560,000 with a modern shopping centre with an occasional old building restored during the late 40s and 50s, Esslingen is a bustling town of 90,000 with quaint cobbled streets and impressive half-timbered buildings. If it wasn't for the delivery vehicles and clothing of the passers-by, parts of the pe destrian zone look today much as they must have looked 300 or 400 years ago. The narrow alleyways have been kept, traffic limited and the old buildings, where modernised, have kept much of their former character. It is here, not far from the Market Square with its impos ing Town Hall complete with wall clock that she produces the pieces which are and regional offices, that Monika Kuch sold at art markets and the famous Christ has her studio. mas Market in Stuttgart.
