Fresh whitewash on side building

Used as Soviet Cultural Palace and Offices during the Soviet era

These structures survived nearly 200 years of soiling, weathering, and aggression during WWII.

Stucco added in recent years doesn't completely

hide the beauty of the block work by the German builders

Note the new surface on the street along with

a recent model of an automobile in someone's driveway

Ukrainians love to decorate their fences and homes

Flowers are abundant in the village

Kleinliebental is a thriving metropolis seaport today as evidenced by the cranes seen in the distance (right of photo) and the oil tankers in foreground
