Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
The traces of Jewish life at Hann. Münden, Germany are quite hidden. That is because of the fact that since the Nazi times there is no active community in the city, it has been fully destroyed by fascism. You can find a memorial near the old town hall and two cemeteries.
It is hard to imagine nowadays but once there was a 6 kilometers long ropeway high above the largest city quarter of Hann. Münden, Germany: the Kattenbühl. The ropeway began near the Kleiner Steinberg, went nearly straight through the forest and ended close to the railway station of Hann. Münden at Schulzenrode.

The Buddeleichenhütte in Hann. Münden is just a protective hut for hikers high above the city quarter Kattenbühl in the Kaufunger Wald. It might be a target destination for a short walk along the Eselsbach but it is most often a waypoint when continuing via the Fuhrmannstein to the Rinderstall (for some cake and a cup of coffee) or the Hühnerfeld (where you can walk through a swamp on a wooden path).

Hann. Münden, Germany is a city located at three rivers: Werra, Fulda and Weser. Obviously going on a boat tour is a good idea. And as the owners of the Rehbein-Linie are searching already since a long time for someone to take over their business and their ship named Europa we decided to do it now before it might become impossibly.

On a weekend in October 2017 I decided to go alone to Köln, Germany to watch a soccer match between Werder Bremen and the 1. FC Köln. And of course I used the time to go to the zoo and the chocolate museum, too. When I came home I told my family about my visit and the reaction was foreseeable: we want to go there, too!

The tradition of making a big fire at Easter is widespread throughout Germany. When I was young I never joined one of these events. I was always living in a city and these fires mostly take place at the villages around and are organized by the local volunteer firefighters. Continue reading “Easter fire”
What you might only recognize when passing by in an ICE or IC train is the fact that under the Kattenbühl in Hann. Münden, Germany there is Germany’s second longest railway tunnel on the Nord-Süd-Strecke connecting Hannover with Frankfurt am Main: the Mündener Tunnel. The trains pass deep under the forest in this more than 10 kilometers long tunnel. Continue reading “Second longest train tunnel”
Shortly before Easter we went to Berlin, Germany to do some sightseeing and visit the family. After some weeks of freezing cold temperatures spring was coming and brought us some sunny days. We checked-in again at the simple but good Sperlingshof at Dallgow-Döberitz and started our visit. Continue reading “Beginning of spring”
The city of Hann. Münden, Germany is surrounded by hills with vast forests. Therefore there are numerous good places for long walks. A good round course is reachable by car on the Kattenbühl: you can park your car at the nice Wald- und Abenteuerspielplatz and walk through the forest surrounding it.
