  • A sponsored walk to Oberstedten and back

    Last Sunday saw a flurry of activity in the woods between the northern end of Oberursel and nearby Oberstedten.  Several hundred children and parents from the local Waldorf school were holding a sponsored walk to raise money for a school  in South Africa. Although the school itself borders on the area, the start was actually located some distance away in the woods itself – signs led those like myself who had gone to the school instead from the gates along a trail to get there. Once at the check-in point, the walk itself took a circuit that was about 1 km long, with the walkers being…

The room has been restyled and redecorated, and yesterday the grand opening took place with a number of the town’s dignitaries in attendance. And whilst it is just one room that is available for Oberstedten’s teenagers to meet in, that room is not just a big open space.  Following a…

    The local elections last year in Oberursel saw a change in the ruling coalition.  The parties CDU and FDP had held a majority for many years and suddenly found themselves replaced by a mixture of the Green, SPD and OBG parties. At the end of the day, no party holds more than a third of the seats, so the only chance for the town’s parliament to move anything forward is to work together. It is something that is reflected in the new structure of the town’s administration in the Rathaus.  Split into three “Dezernaten” or departments, the three-man team now running the…

    When I was growing up, one expression that was heard often among students was Der hat einen Vogel im Kopf or Sie hat einen Vogel, which basically means: "He/She is crazy." This is just one of many other common German expressions that have animals in it. See more of these expressions in German Animal Expressions.

  • Word Order Tip

    10 May 2012 | 5:10 pm
    The word order in German sentences can be very different from that found in English. For instance, the placing of verbs in a sentence can be tricky at times. Then you have smaller words such as conjunctions that can also change their position. In this short article find out more where  certain conjunctions should be placed.

  • Till Eulenspiegel

    4 May 2012 | 6:57 pm
    Have you ever come across the comic strip where a guy finds another fellow shaking all over while holding a  juice container in one hand? When asked why he is shaking, the guy replies, while pointing to the juice container: "It says here to shake before serving."  That's exactly something Till Eulenspiegel would do! Till Eulenspeigel is the literary German buffoon who always rubs people and understands things the wrong way. Find out more about Till Eulenspiegel.

  • Von der Cote de Bar bis zur Montagne de Reims: Die Champagner der Winzer

    weinverkostungen.de
    2 May 2012 | 9:20 am
    In den vergangenen Tagen besuchten wir eine Verkostung von Winzerchampagner in Köln. Das Excelsior Hotel Ernst war hierfür die passende Kulisse. Champagner kennt man auf dem deutschen Markt häufig als Markenchampagner. Wenn man eine Umfrage auf der Straße machen würde, welche Farbe einen Champagnerflasche hat, so würde orange ganz weit oben liegen. Die Trauben werden bei solchen Marken selten von den Champagnerhäusern selbst angebaut. Böse Zungen sprechen hierbei sogar von Industriechampagner. Ziel dabei ist es, mit dem Standard-Brut ein immer wieder gleiches Geschmacksbild zu…

  • Weinrallye #50 Über Naturwein und römische Freikörperkultur

    weinverkostungen.de
    27 Apr 2012 | 12:41 pm
    Es ist schon wieder WeinRallye. Genauer sogar schon die 50ste Runde. Iris hat das Thema Naturwein ausgerufen. Bei dem jetzt zur Verkostung stehenden Wein war jedoch für mich beim Kauf nicht entscheidend, dass es ein Biowein ist. Vielmehr ist eine nackte Frau auf dem Etikett. Und dann kaufe ich Wein immer gerne. Die Frau ist zwar nackt, aber leider kalt wie ein Stein. Zudem ist sie offensichtlich kopflos und auch schon etwas älter. Also so zirka 2.400 Jahre. Der Weine kommt jedoch nicht aus Rom, sondern aus der Provence. Hier erzeugt Alain de Welle seit ca. 20 Jahren Bioweine. Der weiße…

  • Tresor Brut von Bouvet-Ladubay

    weinverkostungen.de
    23 Apr 2012 | 7:47 am
    Bouvet-Ladubay gilt als bedeutendster Erzeuger von Cremant von der Loire. Das Haus wurde 1851 gegründet. Mit dieser Gründung von Bouvet-Ladubay geht eine Legende einher. So soll Etienne Bouvet – verheiratet mit der hübschen Bäckerstochter Ladubay – in den riesigen Kelleranlagen aus Tuffstein einen Schatz der Abtei von Saint-Florent gefunden haben. Dieser soll in der französischen Revolution von den Mönchen versteckt worden sein. Nach dieser Legende sollen die beiden Spitzenprodukte von Bouvet-Ladubay Tresor heißen. Der weiße Cremant Saumur Brut besteht vor allem aus dem für die…

  • Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2006

    22 Apr 2012 | 6:15 am
    Der Jahrgang 2006 war beim Brunello di Montalcino sicherlich einer der besten in der jüngeren Vergangenheit. Er stellte damit einen deutlichen Kontrast zu 2005 dar. Wir sind nach Montalcino gereist, um die Brunello Riserva 2006 zu verkosten. Dies ist also der aktuelle Jahrgang in dieser Kategorie. Und man muss ohne Euphorie anerkennen: Auch die Riserva sind beim Brunello im Jahr 2006 mit nur wenigen Ausnahmen sehr gut gelungen. Brunello Riserva 2006 Banfi und Barbi Banfi Rubinrot, feine Kirschfrucht in der Nase, robuste Kirsche am Gaumen, verfeinert sich in der Länge, ausgewogene Säure.

  • Brunello di Montalcino 2007

    weinverkostungen.de
    12 Apr 2012 | 1:38 am
    Einige alte Orte in der Toskana beginnen mit Mont. Das weist darauf hin, dass dieser Ort auf einem Berg errichtet wurde. Montalcino liegt bei 564 Metern über den Meeresspiegel. Mit hohen Gipfeln hat das nicht unbedingt etwas zu tun. Der Ort Montalcino, der für die Herkunft des Brunello steht, ist jedoch weit in der toskanischen Landschaft zu sehen. Wir reisten nach Montalcino um den aktuellen Jahrgang 2007 zu verkosten. Und so nobel wie die Ausstrahlung des Verkostungsortes ist, so gut scheint der aktuelle Jahrgang des Brunello gelungen zu sein. Der gute Eindruck des Brunello di Montalcino…

  • English Garden: Munich’s Playground & Sanctuary

    Laurel
    15 May 2012 | 5:20 am
    The English Garden in Munich is one of the world’s largest city parks.  It’s larger then Central Park in NYC, but smaller than Richmond Park in London.  It’s where Münchners (Munich residents)  go to play, or to relax, drink beer, or to surf, or to sunbathe naked...It all happens in the English Garden! The most popular stuff: The English Garden is divided into two parts, separated by the Isarring, a road that goes through the English Garden.  The southern part is the most popular section of the park where you can find: Surfing in Munich at the English Garden Surfing at…

  • Drink Like a Finn: Finnish Drinks You Should Try At Least Once

    Laurel
    11 May 2012 | 9:34 am
    During my trip to Finland, I tried to be as Finnish as possible.  I went snowshoeing on the Baltic Sea and dog sledding in Iso-Syöte.  I traveled like a local, heck I even went ice fishing and ate reindeer meat in Oulu, Finland! So naturally my research wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t also drink like a Finn and sample a few Finnish drinks – even if I am a complete lightweight who rarely indulges in more than a glass or two of wine. Lonkero, my favorite Finnish drink on the left and Salmiakki which tastes like salty black licorice on the right. First up was Lonkero, a…

  • Marmore’s Falls: World’s Tallest Man Made Waterfall

    Laurel
    10 May 2012 | 10:36 am
    Marmore’s Falls (or Cascata dell Marmore) is the world’s tallest man made waterfall at an incredible 165m! Making Marmore’s Fall  even more incredible is that it was constructed during Roman times and dates back to 271 BC!  Guess building the Rome Coliseum for the gladiators weren’t the only things keeping the Romans busy! Marmore's Fall When Its Turned Off For the last 20 years Marmore’s Falls has been used to generate electricity for the Umbria region and so miraculously the falls turn on and off – off when the water from the canals above the falls…

  • Adventures in a Zulu Village, South Africa

    8 May 2012 | 10:01 am
    “I’m very excited that my village is getting electricity at the end of the month,” proclaimed Eric, our Zulu guide as he proudly showed us around his Zulu village in the Drakensberg in the shadow of Catherdral Peak.  I was shocked to learn that only a couple of houses had electricity.  When I asked what he was most looking forward to about electricity he didn’t hesitate to answer “A refrigerator, so that I can eat more meat.  Now I only eat meat a couple of times a month when I go into town, but I have to eat it quickly before it spoils.” Eric our Zulu…

  • Gladiator School: Battle of the Bloggers

    7 May 2012 | 5:48 am
    And they say travel bloggers are a friendly bunch – and we usually are…that is until you put us into a gladiator ring to fight until our deaths!  OK, we didn’t really fight until our deaths, but pride was at stake and there was a title to be won. Our gladiator guide, Marcus was intimating – shouting at us and pointing a finger in our face for any slight indiscretion by one of our group of wannabe gladiators.  He simmered down as he dove into nearly an hour of Gladiator history, peppered with some interesting facts about gladiators, but a bit too long.  Among the…
