24.6.1 ~ History and a bright idea
I still find the entrance building one of the most interesting parts of Schloss
Cochem (ex Bran), especially because of the beautiful print of the poem and a
line of verse by Horace.
It was only during the construction of the Abbey
that the idea came to me to integrate this building as a rectory or something
similar in the monastery complex.
After completion, however, this building turned out to be rather high so that it detracts from the perspective that the Abbey offers.
I therefore decided to make a farmstead of it on the rural module, which connects eastbound to the Abbey module.

26.7.2024
To please myself once again - and because I like to vary and build something that cannot be found on any other model layout -
I have re-ordered the beautiful wall section of Schloss Bran with poem via Faller Kundendienst.
The poem, written in old German typeface, reads as follows:
“Wenn ihm der Vogel hat gemacht
Ein Nest darein sein Eyer bracht
So fleugt
er nicht aus furcht darvon
Und thut ein andern sitzen laßen
Auf seine Eyer
in dem Nest
Sondern sich drauff erwürgen lest”
When the bird has created a nest and brought his eggs into it, he doesn’t fly away in fear.
He doesn’t let someone else sit in his nest and on his eggs – he lets himself be strangled while sitting on it.
It is sweet and fair to die for one's country

24.6.2 ~ Unboxing
8.8.2024
I received this kit directly from Andreas Braun during my visit to Faller in Gütenbach on August 8, 2024.
The box was marked down from €54.99 to €44.00 because the front cover had shifted during sealing.
5.11.2025
Left the original from this box (130821), right the spare part I received from Faller Kundendienst original shaped for Schloss Bran (130820).

24.6.3 ~ Painting and Wheathering
7.11.2024
At first I didn't want to use these shutters because I found the purple too repulsive.
But after a thorough patination they were able to challenge my approval. This time, Faller has chosen to print the back of an existing mold with shutters.
