Am Schanzengraben

Am Schanzengraben goes from Bleicherweg to Branschenkestrasse and Selnaubrücke. It is named after Schanzengraben, which is the water body we typically designate by "the canal" in this house. And, it turns out that said Schanzengraben is actually a moat (as its name ending by -graben gives away, admittedly), is there since 1642, and is named after the local fortification (apparently, a sconce - I'm learning so many words today).

A very narrow street with an ivy-covered 4-story building on the right and dense trees on the left.
Metallic reliefs depicting industrial scenes: men moving beams, using a crane, moving wagons in tunnels. The reliefs are hollow and fixed on a beige stone wall.
