This looks a lovely town and I like the idea of the lights festival :-) Interesting to meet Uncle Willi too!

Those are funny statues of Onkel Willi and his dog Felix. Do the people (and dogs) in Lüdenscheid really look like that? I see that Lüdenscheid is close to Herscheid and Pungelscheid. What does "scheid" mean, if anything?
