New Years' Eve Fireworks in Frankfurt Griesheim, 1.01.2025
Germany welcomes the New Year in with Fireworks and the whole country seems to explode for hours.
I personally do not buy them and wish that there were only official firework shows. The animals seem to suffer a lot from this and the trash that is left behind in the city to clean up is massive. All of our neighbors cleaned afterwards, so there were no bottles, etc. left on the streets.

Medieval Hurdy Gurdy at Eppstein Castle
มุมมอง 537 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
I bet you have have always wondered what the Hurdy Gurdy man sounded like. Now you will know! This wonderful man was so patient showing us all how this medieval instrument could be played. The Eppstein Castle is an easy train ride from Frankfurt or Wiesbaden and though it is a ruin, it is fun for kids to run around in and they have a nice little museum.

How Frankfurt Celebrates Christmas Eve, Pealing of the Bells & Carols on the Römerberg
มุมมอง 15416 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Turn up the volume for the Pealing of the Bells. This is 50 bells in 10 churches, ringing for 30 min. Then a brass band plays German Christmas carols from the gallery of the Alte Nikolai. Not sure how many people were downtown, but it felt like 100,000 or more. They have to stop the trams it is so packed. Many people bring their own thermos of Glühwein or cocoa, but there were a few stands sell...

What Can You Eat at the Frankfurt Christmas Market, Part 1
มุมมอง 900หลายเดือนก่อน
Wondering what to eat at the Christmas Markets and what does it all cost? Many markets may have the same foods, but there may be some differences as well as different prices. Even stands at the same market may be selling their bratwurst or crepe for a different price, but not by a lot. I didn't show any drinks on this video, that can be on a different one. Only about 1/3 of the Frankfurt Christ...

Memorial at the Bunker built on the ruins of the largest Synagogue in Frankfurt, that was destroyed on 9 Nov. 1938. On this night, well over 1000 Synagugues were destroyed and burned down in Germany, the glass on Jewish businesses broken and many Jews were arrested and sent to Concentration Camps. In the Bunker, there are exhibits, which are shown on other videos on this playlist, Jewish Herita...

I worked underneath this building in the high security area (SCIF) in 1988-1990.
Spent many hours exploring here 1988-1990. Thank you for taking me back.
My wife and I are debating going 👀 but honestly my one reservation is what if I find nothing I want because I mainly speak and read English not german 🥹 do they have a decent selection of books/mangas in English?
They have an entire hall full of English books, just like they have halls with other languages. They only sell the books on the last day or two and you have until Oct. to decide if you want to go or not.
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 ooohhh okay so if we wanted to buy any of the book we should plan on going during the last 1 or 2 days of the event ?^.^
@@rpg1172 Those are the only days when the book fair is open to the public. Not all publishers sell their books, but I have never had a lack of books that I wanted to buy. As in, I often wished for a cart!
What month did you go ? Seems like very cold
I live in Frankfurt. We have lots of months where it can be quite cold. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. or March.
@frankfurtonfothankthank youottours2361
Absolutely LOVE this!! I remember a few New Year fireworks in Germany. I lived in Sacsenhausen (spelling?) In 84 and we were shooting off fireworks from our apartment balcony! It was crazy!!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Happy New Year!!
@@richardpemberton6597 Happy New Year to you too. It is Sachsenhausen. Have you watched any of the videos of this neighborhood?
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 YES! I loved them. Things have changed somewhat since I lived there. It was in 83-85. Sorry about my spelling of the name. It was a happening place every night.
I have a Hury Gurdy and i like to play this Instrument.😊
What a cool instrument to have.
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Thank you.I will Post my Hurdy-Gurdy Musicvideos.I hope this Instrument will better knowed in the Internet.
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Good Luck with your Channel and a Happy new Year.
Cool.How cost this Instrument?I like it.
I have no idea what it would cost.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Thank you for the Answer.I Like your Channel.
WOW!! This brings back so many memories for me. I was there with 143rd Signal Bravo Co. from 1985-1989 in Edwards Kasserne. I never wanted to come back home but life had other plans for me. I also lived in the housing all the way in the back. The last building actually off of Berkersheimer Weg when it becomes In Den Graben and the corner of Am Neuenberg. It was the building right on the corner as you drive up. Almost 40 years has gone by and it seems like yesterday. Thank you for sharing and bringing it all back for me. Oh and yes I certainly remember the snack bar there, the pizza joint and also the Gasthaus next to Drake directly across from Edwards Kaserene to the right. There was a yellow phone both next to it where I would make calls back home occasionally. I remember the PT runs all up and down that area, the gym on Drake, the messhall on Drake, the American Express bank on Drake also to the right of the entrance gate. WOW...
So cool I love Germany 🇩🇪 ❤
I missed it, didn't knew of this, how did you guys come to know about it
Because it happens every year. If you check our blog, we list events in Frankfurt. Or if you follow us on FB. Sorry you missed it. Maybe next year?
Very cool!
@@geraldburnett3219 yes, we think so too
Thank you for the festive videos! Happy Holidays!
So glad you enjoyed them, as always! See you again soon in 2025, unless I get something else posted this week, maybe the Pealing of the Bells tomorrow evening.
Beautiful!! Have a Merry Christmas!!
Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too!
I do not remember there ever being a ferris wheel at any of the Christmas markets I went to in Frankfurt in the mid 80s. That's beautiful! Thank you again for sharing! On a different note. What is the reason for not being able to photograph the old 97th hospital. I know it's the US consulate now but I guess I don't understand. Probably a security issue.
They started putting up a ferris wheel when they opened the market up over here on the Rossmarkt during or right after Covid. Correct about the security at the consulate. They don't want people filming the cameras, etc.
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Someday I would really love to go back to Germany for a couple months.
@@richardpemberton6597 Hope you get to come back again too. It has changed a lot since the 80s.
Can you buy the flixbus ticket in there?
You have to buy your flixbus ticket online or at their stand at the bus parking lot.
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Yep, it sure is. I love seeing it each year.
Do you remember the name of the pasta stand?
@@RevTBone I don’t but it is right across from the Historic museum & by the river.
Very colorfull but the way you were bundled up, it must have been a cold evening. Do you have a knee replacement?
Yes, it was quite cold that evening. I just had my knee cleaned up, so crutches for 2 weeks.
I just had a nerve stimulator impant placed in my lower left inner leg. Evenings before I go to bed, I place a holster like wrap around my lower left leg. The holster has two pockets. One of the pockets houses a transmitter and the other an antenna. The transmitter and the antenna are connected with an electric cable. The transmitter has a setting of 1 to 24. My setting is 12. I sleep with it over night and take it off the next morning. Now the mircle happens. I take it off and I am good for the entire day. I have two holsters, 2 transmitters (one I keep charged) and three antennas. Something to consider in-lieu-of total knee replacement if and when you get to that point.
So many goodies! Love the music too! Happy holidays!
Thanks. The really go all out finding these unique things.
The slippers are my favs
I like them too. They make me laugh every time I see them.
I'm 52, lived in Old Edwards 81-84 w/ my older and younger sisters. @ 6:44 building on the right, yep 2nd floor, end unit! Wow! Ele.entary was the recreational center right? The 3+1 story condo-plex just S.E. from the little recreational center where ->WE ALL (Full House) WATCHED A BOOTLEG OF E.T., no FBI warning on that really crappy VHS. Yeah, after that WE ALL went and stood in line around the block to see it legit in the closest theater, that or Blade Runner...
What great memories to share with us!
Yummy!!! Thank you for sharing!
Have you had these?
@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Not all of those different flavors. They all sound delicious, though.
@@richardpemberton6597 I haven't tried all of them and they have different ones each year.
I was in Frankfurt today in the höchst we were accidentally on the wrong way we were to the airport
So, you got to see Höchst?
@ yes and airport we were going the wrong way we didn’t know where höchst is so yeah
I was so glad to find this video. I lived in Frankfurt from 1976-1979 and I saw my apartment building on Inheidener Strasse at the end of your wonderful video!
@@PhotoAlbert How cool!
I am not vegetarian in part but it nice to see the market is giving non meat eateries a good mix of options 😊 and non animal products to eg vegan
I thought so too. It is nice when everyone gets something delicious to eat at the Christmas market.
Yes I agree 👍
I was watching a BBC program, and they said the rope has broken at least 5 times over the centuries. One time it flew out the window. LMAO
Have just returned home from the Frankfurt Christmas Market. Beautiful city and lovely market stands. The potato pancakes were my favourite food, had to get them two days running, didn’t try them with the apple sauce but with the garlic sauce they were very tasty. Food portions were huge, couldn’t finish most of what I bought.
They are my favorite thing to eat too. Nice item to share as 3 of them are just too much.
I eat gluten free - do I have any chance of getting something good LOL
Not sure to be honest. I have never looked for items like that, but perhaps the chocolate covered fruit? Roast chestnuts? Baked potatoes? Potato pancakes? Pommes, bratwurst without the bread?
That's where my wife and I lived while we were stationed there. We loved it! It was a hopping place every night. Especially on the weekends!
Oh my, I bet it was.
The whole time I was there, I had never heard of this place. Thank you for sharing this. A beautiful memorial to these women.
It is sort of stuck in the middle of the woods, so not easy to find. It is a shocking part of history and sad that more people don't know about it.
That's absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
It was so beautiful, that I went to this show twice.
At 1:28, building on left was 3AD Command Building an one on right was Division Finance and probably a few other sections.
Thanks for sharing the information. It will help others recognize the buildings.
Fun! Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Same to you!
Just found your videos! I was stationed at the 97th. I loved Frankfurt! Thank you so much!!!
So glad you found the videos and that you enjoy them.
Hi ! This is extremely useful thank you! Do you perhaps know if I can get someone to drive us to this hotel with a buggy? Or maybe if I can use the airport trolleys all the way up to the check in counter? I’ll be traveling alone with two toddlers (one still on the stroller). Thank you in advance !
That will be tough with a stroller and one of the carts, going up escalators. What do you mean with a buggy?
I'm glad I ate before watching this or I'd be raiding the cupboards.
Too funny!
The Building you are jot sure what it is or was. Is a prison.
Not anymore though.
Hi thank you for the video May I know what is the difference between 1day ticket and the frankfurt card 1-day? Which one is more worthed?
I wish someone would sell roasted chestnuts at one of the Minneapolis Christmas markets.
They are easy to make yourself if you have chestnut trees or can buy them.
what is the name of the street separating Drake and Edwards? Trying to find it on a map. I was there, HHC 1986-87.
Homburger Landstrasse.
many thanks this is a great help to travellers
So glad it will be helpful to you
Thank you for this video
Thank you for this video, I have a 9 hour layover in Frankfurt next week and I will be sure to take a shower to freshen up. I am not planning on going outside the airport so what else would you recommend me to do to kill time?
Next video: how to breathe
Not sure what you mean by that?
I was station at Gutleut Kaserne from late 1975 until it was turned over to the German Government towards to end of 1976. My room was on the 3rd floor facing Gutleut Strasse in the section that still remains. Last year I was able to go back to see Gutleut. I have great memories of the time I spent there. HHD 709th MP Bn.
Glad you got to come back and see it. Thanks for sharing your memories. I bet you have a lot of them from the 70s.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361I do have many memories of my time in West Germany. My wife was with me so she finally got to see the place I had talked about so many times and the area where I spent some of the best times of my life. It was happy to see what remains and saddened to know what was demolished. Gutleut is like a part of me, my youth. Thank you.
That Irish Bar has been there forever !!!! 1984 ! U.S. Army 💪🇺🇲
Yes, I think so too. It has been there since I got here in 1986.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 I went in it a couple of times during those crazy weekends ! Good, good times. I was in Babenhausen which is 30 klics S.E. of Frankfurt. The Kasern is closed now.I lived in Offenbach when I was there. That's where my daughter was born, she just turned 39. I loved Germany and want to go back very much. 💪♥️🇺🇲🇩🇪🪖
Thank you for the fun video! Just back from a month in Spain and holiday lights going up in Madrid. Now for cooler weather! Happy holidays!
Glad you liked it. It will look even better when he gets decorated.
It was so much fun! Thanks for sharing.
