Folks - I went to Germany about 30 years ago.
I've been going through my old photos and just can't figure out where these places are depicted in the photos.
Can anyone offer suggestions about location / city?

You can reference the "Image" number or the double letters at the beginning of the file name.
Many thanks!!
I can answer some. I think the photos have got jumbled.
That was fun. How many points do I get ☺
779 appears to be the Neutorturm on the Northeast corner of the Nuremberg city wall. Look at this current photo. Surroundings may have changed in the last 30 years due to restoration work, but the tower itself is identical.

780 is Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Yes 834 is obviously Florence.
Oh my gosh, Chris F and Sam...thank you SO much! That totally accords with my trip. I DID go to all those places...I've just forgotten that I had.
Thank you. thank you. thank you!!
Now...anyone know the last 3?
Thx
Just a general tip: Google Image Search can help to identify unknown land marks or sights on photos. Click on camera icon.
Fantastic! SO quick. Many thanks!
Finishing up....600? 607 847? ... and added 601 and 603 and 724.
Thx
Clocktower in 607 and 724 are the same. Note says Blackforest.
Edit - Got it 607 and 724 are in Baden-Baden, The Stiftskirche.

Amazing! Thank you all, and SAM so much!
Could # 600 also be from Baden Baden?....
I suspect it is, but I can't pinpoint anything.
847 could be Basel, it could also be a number of other towns in this area. The architectural style is common around here, way too many streets like it to remember each one.
Example (I'm not saying it is this one, just something like it): https://www.denkmalpflege.bs.ch/.imaging/stk/webbs-desktop/fixed-wide-var-height/dam/denkmalpflege/images/baukultur-entdecken/europaeischer-tag-des-denkmals/ETdD_2016/jcr:content/ETdD_2016_01.jpg
Thanks Chris....that makes sense for 847...since 846 and 848 I now know are both Basel! Excellent sleuthing!
Now, one last kick at the can....
Anyone know # 601 or 603?
You folks have been SO helpful. Many many thanks.
AND as a "give back" in thanks...if anyone wishes pics from Berlin, Bonn, Paris, Versaille, Essen, Rome, Basel, Frieburg, Ulm, Nuremberg, Wurzberg, Wertheim, Rastatt, Heidelberg, Karlsruhe, Baden Baden, or Strassbourg from 30 years ago, I'm happy to upload them for your use.
600 is definitely Baden-Baden. Can't get the exact perspective, but this is close.
https://www.google.com/maps/@48.7635187,8.2425892,3a,90y,176.77h,124.03t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipNmReM7RNb9qyOlr1ByqEnm0BvibdqKTNXT8z2k!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipNmReM7RNb9qyOlr1ByqEnm0BvibdqKTNXT8z2k%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya86.12579-ro-0-fo100!7i5376!8i2688
Onion dome is on the chapel of the Klosterschule vom Heiligen Grab, and the square tower top is part of the Friedrichsbad Roemische-Irische Bad. Smaller onion dome further away is on the Spitalkirche. All of these seen in the bottom foreground of 600.
Edit - I will speculate that 601 is also in Baden-Baden pedestrian shopping district. Style of the buildings and overhead wire in the center of the street. German privacy laws prevent comprehensive google streetview, so have to depend on uploaded photos. As such, 603 is probably in Baden-Baden as well. Strolling one-man band is just the sort of thing you might find in Baden-Baden.
Used to live there and would love to see the photos of Wurzburg if you can post a link.
Thanks "Sam"!
Really, many thanks to all who helped out...I really appreciate it! While Google Image can confirm the location once I had an idea of where it was...I wouldn't have been able to figure out where to even look for some of these pictures!!
And "TC"....here's a link to Wurzburg (as requested)...go ahead and let me know if any of the titles are incorrect: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KDBhd1x0YGKvwUdMZcac4UOPw3NviGwl
Many thanks for the link. Photo # 762 is the Alte Mainbrucke (Old Main Bridge) and the statues are of Wurzburg's saints and bishops. The interior pictures in # 764, 5, and 6 are in the Hofkirche Chapel at the Residenz. The church in the center of #763 is St. Kilian's Dom. In # 767 the church is the Kapele Sanctuary. You can google any of those and get more specific information. Again, many thanks for the link -- brought back many good memories.
