With this cache I would like to lead you to an interesting and worth seeing place, the former Schülesche Kattunfabrik (calico factory). Here, unfortunately, it does not look any more as in the following picture from the end of the 18th century.

Schülesche Kattunfabrik
It concerns an important monument of the industrial architecture and one of the earliest preserved factory buildings of Germany generally. Till 1996 it was a horseshoe-shaped 3 wing arrangement with representative, palatial rococo facade, established in 1770-1772 from Leonhard Christian Mayr (1725-1810) for the calico manufacturer Johann Heinrich Schüle. The early-classicistic court fence (about 1775) is since 1976 on the Fronhof near the Augsburg cathedral. The building plot, originally a garden situated near the Wolfsmühle, had been bought at an auction in 1758 by Schüle for 4500 guilders. In 1996 the side wings of the building were pulled down, because of supposed deterioration, in spite of massive protests. Merely the east part with the listed facade has been preserved. Today the anew established side wings of glass and the historical middle tract accommodate the Faculty of Design of the University of Applied Sciences - Fachhochschule. 

 

 

To the cache:

To find  parking places here is very difficult. Best of all, you come by bicycle. Alternatively you take the tramway line 6, get out at the stop "Hochschule Augsburg" and simply walk around a few steps on the right around the glass building.

Stage 1: N 48 ° 21.500' E 010 ° 54.340'
(= the above start co-ordinates)
 

Come here in to the inner courtyard of the former SchülesFliegendes Ferkelche Kattunfabrik, admire the nice arrangement and look around for the flying piglet.

The inner courtyard is surrounded by three parts of the building.
On an orange info board near the flying piglet the parts of the building are shown and marked with identity letters.

 
Investigate:
A =      Letter value of the part of the building towards which the piglet is flying.
B =      Letter value of the opposite part of the building.
C =      Letter value of the part of the building which concludes the courtyard in the north-east.
(Letter value = position of the identity letter of the part of the building in the alphabet)


Final:  N 48° 21.(39 * A + C)' E 010° 54.(33 * B + A)'

Found The geocache is in good or acceptable condition. Recommended 05 April 2021, 11:00 Stbd found the geocache

Eigentlich sollte es ein schneller Geburtstagsnachmittags-Cache vor der Torte werden.

Doch dann wollte ich zum Finale  eigentlich bei Grandel aufs Dach :-(

Da das nicht ging hatte ich Junior in Verdacht, daß er die Punkte nicht richtig gezählt hat. War aber alles richtig. Also Abbruch.

Am heutigen Ostermontag mit neu berechneten Koordinaten war es dann einfach. Die Studentenschaft hatte vorlesungsfreie Zeit und so konnten wir ungestört zur Dose. Mit isolierten Schuhen die Dose geöffnet  Lachend - Tolle Idee!

 

Danke für den Cache!

Stbd mit Elias
