Memories and hints of a travelling IT professional.
Hann. Münden, Germany was once the most southern port of the kingdom of Hanover. The port area was and is located in the north of the city, along the Weser – directly opposite of the Weserstein. Today you can still see the tracks of the Hannöversche Südbahn connecting the port and the remains of a port building. Continue reading “Weserumschlagstelle”
When I hear the word “Bollywood”, strange Indian dance movies come to my mind and I rather would not visit a restaurant named after it. Now that there is a place called “Bollywood Palace” in Hann. Münden, Germany I needed a bit of pressure to try it – especially as it looks like a fast-food restaurant from the outside. Continue reading “Bollywood?”
My whole life I was living in an university town with plenty of fast food options. Deciding with the list of possible home delivery services at hand wasn’t easy – but you could always get something appropriate to your current desires. And now in Hann. Münden? Online services only list one place – “Pizza Casa” and ordering is only possible by phone call. Continue reading “Pizza Casa”
Until the year 1970 the small town of Hann. Münden, Germany was hosting the faculty of forestry of the “Georg-August-Universität” in nearby Göttingen. As a side effect from 1868 on a botanical garden and an arboretum were created close to the city center and opened in 1870. 100 years later it was moved to Göttingen-Weende (at the “Faßberg“).

Hann. Münden, Germany is a place many people travel to by bike in summer times – and what do they do there? Have an ice cream. The best traditional ice cream parlour in the pedestrian zone is nowadays called “Boutique del Gelato” – but locals know it by two other names: “Dolomiti” or “Cortina“. Continue reading “Boutique del Gelato”
Going to church on a sunday morning was never so pleasant than in Hann. Münden, Germany. That is because of a church close to the city center that has been transformed into a coffee bar where you can have a nice breakfast or a piece of cake. It’s quite a strange feeling to dine on an old altar, but this place has its own very special atmosphere.
The church of St. Blasius is located on the central place of Hann. Münden, Germany. It is a gothic style church with a nice tower where once warders kept watch to protect the city. The first remains in this place date back to the year 1000, but the current church has been built in three different steps between 1216 and 1519. Continue reading “Converted gothic church”
Shops come and go in the inner city center of Hann. Münden, Germany. The town is mostly frequented by day tourists during summertime and that is why some shops within the side streets have to fight to survive. After the pet shop at the Rosenstraße was closed it was empty for a while – but now a new coffee shop popped up: the “Herz über Kopf“. Continue reading “Herz über Kopf”
You can’t overlook the hotel and Italian restaurant “Antico & Abruzzo” in Hann. Münden, Germany at night: the façade of the house located in the inner city center is beautifully enlightened and on two levels the team of Toni Angelilli serves plain but good Italian food – from antipasti over pasta to pizza. Continue reading “Antico & Abruzzo”
One of the more remote hotels in Hann. Münden, Germany – the hotel “Schlaf schön” (“sleep well“) is located next to the tavern “Letzter Heller” at the river “Werra“; four kilometers away from the city. It is a good place for a night if you travel by bike along the river or if you enjoy a family event at the tavern. Continue reading “Schlaf schön”
