321, you don't have to have google earth to look these up.
You can use googlemaps.  Some of their color variations are a little bit different, but it's mostly the same.

Go to google, select maps from their top task bar.
Once the map comes up, select satellite from the task bar that sits just under the top border of the map itself. :)

Reschke, your picture is of Warstein, Germany... what's the brewery's slogan?

This one is also in Germany. The architect that designed the spot here was Albert Speer.  I've got a few "up yours!" stories that I'll post after someone gets this one. :)

Okay, I'm impatient.  Here's my up-yours stories:

I played high school soccer here (including all the spitting that comes with it), and learned how to drive here.
That's my favorite up-yours ever. Take that, you big jerk.

Along the main wall on the north side (next to the road), folks used to line up there along the entirety of the wall and practice one-man tennis.  Good for them to finally make good use of that spot.

I guess you're not pounding too hard - no guesses in a day or so.  Need another hint - it's also a famous battle site. . .
