Soccer history

Deutsches Fußballmuseum, Dortmund

The soccer world championship 2010 in Germany created enough revenue and therefore the German football association (DFB) decided to create a national soccer museum – the Deutsches Fußballmuseum. Dortmund, Germany was selected to be the best location and it opened its gates in 2015. Continue reading “Soccer history”

At the Kennedyplatz

Motel One, Essen

I’ve seen different hotels in Essen, Germany – but the Motel One is my favorite one so far. Not only because of the nice design used here but also because of the good location: It is in the inner city directly at the Kennedyplatz, just 6-8 minutes on foot from the central railway station. Continue reading “At the Kennedyplatz”

Traveling for snow

Fichtelberg, Oberwiesenthal

This year we only had two days of snow at home and therefore decided that we need some more. We used two days of school holidays after the first school reports to have a four day long trip. At first we thought about the Bavarian Forest as a destination but then selected the Ore Mountains – because they are simply closer. Continue reading “Traveling for snow”

Zum Neinerlaa

Zum Neinerlaa, Annaberg-Buchholz

If you get to the market place in Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany (which has a good underground car park by the way) you will find the restaurant “Zum Neinerlaa” directly in the basement of the old townhall. It is a nice place we found by accident. Continue reading “Zum Neinerlaa”

Markus-Röhling-Stolln

Markus-Röhling-Stolln, Annaberg-Buchholz

In the Ore Mountains belonging to Germany and the Czech Republic there was more to find than ore – also silver, cobalt and uranium for example. One place where miners digged down deep into the earth was Annaberg-Buchholz, Germany. At the Markus-Röhling-Stolln they gathered silver and cobalt between 1500 and 1857.

Erzgebirgsstuben

Erzgebirgsstube, Fichtelberg, Oberwiesenthal

When you are on top of the mountain Fichtelberg in Oberwiesenthal, Germany it is your safe harbour that rescues you from the cold temperatures outside: the Erzgebirgsstuben. It is close to the mountain top and the station of the teleferic. Continue reading “Erzgebirgsstuben”

The Fichtelbergbahn is a narrow-gauge railway (750 mm) operated with steam engines that transports passengers from Cranzahl, Germany to the Kurort Oberwiesenthal – the highest city in Germany.

Schnitzelschmiede

Schnitzelschmiede, Weißenfels

I love German motorway 38 because it brings me very fast from the center (Kassel, Göttingen) to the East (Leipzig, Dresden). It has been built after the German reunification and it has only one drawback to me: the number and position of motorway service areas. Continue reading “Schnitzelschmiede”

Mangal‘s Kitchen

The Mangal’s Kitchen is a fine Indian restaurant in Hannover, Germany – close to the Lister Meile. It has a nice room with beautiful and unobtrusive decoration, hand-made naan bread and great lamb and chicken dishes; but there are also vegetarian alternatives. Continue reading “Mangal‘s Kitchen”
