Park your car carefully! and other Quedlinburg, Germany Warning Or Danger Tips

Despite there being no signs to the contrary, my host apparently parked his car in the wrong place! We returned from our little trip to find a card from the Burgermeister, which began:

"Sehr geehrte Verkehrsteilnehmerin, sehr geehrter Verkehsteilnehmer,

Which I think translates as "Very honoured road user" and as road users come in male and female varieties, they have to say it twice.

Anyway, this little friendly card went on to say that my host would be receiving a fine in the post for illegal parking.

It finished with:

"Mit freundlichen Gruessen"

"With friendly greetings" and a list of streets where it IS possible to park:

Carl-Ritter-Strasse
Schlossparkplatz
Marschlinger Hbf
Wallstrasse
An den Fischteichen
Turnstrasse

Germans are nothing if not oh so polite.
