Today was our first day with Rainer, our nephew, and his wife Olivia. We drove 2 hours from their apt. and spent the day in Leipzig. Leipzig was part of the former East Germany. I learned a lot about what life in the former East Germany was like and also about the uprisings that caused the wall to fall and the reunification of Germany.
The first pic is of the 4 of us in Leipzig. Pic 2, a painting on the side of a building expressed the frustration of the people. Some of the sayings: “we are the people” “freedom” “free elections” “freedom of the press” “ the wall has to go” “democracy”. (Unfortunately my pics are a little out of order..) Pic 7 is of Nikolai Kirche and pic 3 is the inside of the church. It all started at this church with prayers for freedom on Mondays at 5pm. That evolved into peaceful demonstrations in the streets of Leipzig that lead to the fall of East Germany. Stepping out of that church and walking along the streets suddenly took on new meaning today after I read the history of what had happened here.
Pics 4,5 & 6 are some of the buildings in the city.
Pic 8 is the university library and pic 9 is the “assembly hall and university church of St Paul” that is attached to the library.
The East Germans demolished the church in 1968. The church was rebuilt after the reunification but is now used sometimes as a church and sometimes as a lecture hall.
The last pic shows the contrast between the plain, functional architecture of the East German era and the historic building in background. We visited an exhibit titled East Germany: 1945 to the Reunification. Such an eye opening, thought provoking exhibit.

Highlight of the day: learning the history of Nikolai Kirche, Leipzig and East GermanyLeggi altro

Viaggiatore I walked through Checkpoint Charlie soon after the border opened. The buildings in the area were damaged and armed guards still kept an eye on us. It was quite an experience. I lived in Kassel.

RB Leipzig!

RB Leipzig!

Since the World Cup, the boys have been pretty obsessed with football. A premier match in Europe was a must. To afford tickets to a Chelsea game in London would have required us selling one of the boys, so the Bundesliga was a great option.

We managed to get some great tickets to a match in Leipzig, which is about an hours' train ride from Berlin. The atmosphere as you walk from the train station to any sporting event is exciting, and this was no exception.

Jack's spending money was burning a hole in his pocket, and he knew from the outset that his adopted team, RBL would be one place he'd spend it. A quick stop at the merchandise store and we looked like we'd be RBL fans for life. We then made our way into the 50,000 seat stadium and soaked up the chants, songs and pre-game hype.

The game, while high quality and exciting, did not go as planned for the home side. Mainz, the visiting underdog, got the job done with a goal in the first half, and two more by full time. A 3-0 defeat was not ideal, but the experience for the Bilkeys was fantastic. As always, purely for research, we needed to test out the food and beverage offerings and were not disappointed. The Wurst hotdogs were the best, and the beers were excellent. I needed a few to make sure. I can now confidently order 1, 2 or 3 of something from a menu. As I don't know the numbers 4, 5 or 6, it forces us to diversify in what we order...

On our walk back to the train station, Fred was pretty pleased to see that Germany accommodates for Fred sized people with their own doors. Either that or there are elves living in many of the buildings.

After a long day, the train ride home was pretty quiet, and as I'm sure we'll discover more and more, anywhere is a good place to have a nap.Leggi altro

kolossales Leipzig
16 settembre 2023, Germania ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Leipzig ist groß und monumental. Lore ist von den riesigen, martialischen Gebäuden einerseits beeindruckt, andererseits fühlt sie sich bedrängt.
Als erstes Ziel steuern wir das Völkerschlachtsdenkmal an. Es liegt ein wenig außerhalb des Zentrums, hat eine beängstigende Größe (man kommt sich wie eine Ameise vor) und erinnert an nazionalsozialistische Heldendenkmäler.
Das Bauwerk wurde 1913 eingeweiht - 100 Jahre nachdem die europäischen Verbündeten in der Völkerschlacht bei Leipzig Napoleon und seine Truppen in die Flucht geschlagen hatten.
Als nächstes fahren wir ins Zentrum. Zuerst folgen wir einer Empfehlung aus dem heutigen Hotel und besuchen die Aussichtsplattform am Dach des Panorama Towers. Das Wetter ist prima und wir sehen super auf die Altstadt und weit ins Land hinein.
Ein kleiner Altstadtbummel schließt den Leipzig-Besuch ab. Die Mädler-Passage ist eine elegante Einkaufsmeile und die Nikolaikirche lässt Gänsehaut-Feeling aufkommen weil die hier stattfindenden Demonstrationen wesentlich zum Fall der innerdeutschen Mauer beigetragen haben.Leggi altro

Rückreise nach Leipzig
29 marzo, Germania ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Wir standen 7:30 Uhr auf und machten uns für die Hunderunde fertig. Die Hunde flitzen das letzte Mal ausgelassen durch die Apfelplantagen und wir genossen die Aussicht auf die Berge. Danach ging es zum Frühstück und dann begann das große Packen. 11:00 Uhr waren wir fertig und die Rückfahrt begann. Etwa zur Halbzeit, gegen 15:00 Uhr, waren wir in Holledau, wo wir Rast machten.

Kurz nach 19:00 Uhr waren wir endlich in Leipzig und bezogen Quartier in Marcus' Wohnung. Marcus fuhr mit Helena nochmal los um ein paar Kleinigkeiten einzukaufen. Johanna schaute die Häschenschule 2 und ich ging mit India und Rio um das Völkerschlachtdenkmal.

Wieder in der Wohnung angekommen gab es für die zwei und die Mädels was zu essen. Danach ließen wir den Abend ausklingen und gingen schlafen.Leggi altro

Heute soll es früh losgehen. Klappt einigermaßen. Ohne Frühstück gehts die ersten 15 km nach Gera am Elsterradweg entlang. Wieder recht kalt. In Gera gibt es in einer Bäckerei ein ausgiebiges Frühstück. Gestärkt radeln wir weiter durch Rapsfelder, auch mal an der Stasse, durch sehr hübsche Dörfer und durch recht verlassene Dörfer. Noch mal Pause am Wegesrand. Der Besitzer der Wiese auf der wir sitzen kommt nach Hause und es wird gequatscht, der Opa kommt auch noch dazu. An hübschen Seen (früher Braunkohle) gehts nach Leipzig zu Freunden Jenö und Anke. Hier Geburtstagsfeier von Luisa (3 Jahre) mit der ganzen Familie. Es geht noch Fußballspielen mit den Jungs und dann grillen… sehr nett 🙂.Leggi altro

Vi stod op i Tyrol og kørte over og igennem bjergene. Der var en lang tunnel fuldstændig lige gennem bjerget.
Vi kørte mellem skyer og træer og bjergtoppe.
Så kom vi til Tyskland og så gik det stærkt på autostradaen.
8 timer kørte vi og kom til et skod værelse med fem senge og udsigt til toppen af et fladt indkøbscenter.
Skyndte os videre ind til bymidten og der var straks bedre. Gågader, butikker, levende musik og parker. Drengen fik MacD og så var alle glade. Jeg fik en curry wurst i stedet. .Leggi altro

Mit dem Zug gings fein gemütlich zeitig nach Leipzig. Uiiiii und dann auch hier Corona Attacke... Alle Museen sind geschlossen 🙈
Aber zwei Touris schreckt sowas nicht ab, es gibt genug zu sehen. Ein paar eingefleischte Cosplayer sind ebenfalls anzutreffen. Wahnsinn, die Kostüme waren schon cool 😎.
Und eine Ruhe war hier. Allein deshalb hat sich der Ausflug schon gelohnt, wann sonst hat man eine ganze Stadt fast für sich alleine 😍.
Und was macht man da? Naja Shopping bietet sich an und Sonne genießen und Ruhe tanken....

Powershopping.... Buch, viele Bücher 📚 📙 📚
Und 👗 Yes
Dank Pin Up 56 bin ich nun stolze Besitzerin eines 👗, eines Petticoats und Accessoires.
😍Abends mit dem Zug zurück nach Nürnberg... Uffff der Zug hat technische Probleme. Kurzes Nachdenken und dann ja wir fahren heim.
Menschenleere Straßen, keine Autos, fast niemand unterwegs.
Gut angekommen 🙈Leggi altro

A day of two halves today after a fabulous breakfast at Central Cafe. We first caught the train to the Völkerschlactdenkmal, or Monument to the Battle of the Nations. The Monument remembers the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, a defeat of Napoleon but in which almost a fifth of soldiers died and was the biggest open battle ever. The massive monument looked amazing under the bright sunshine and with the reflecting pool in front of it, which was also full of fish and had huge dragonflies dancing on the surface.

For the afternoon, we headed to Leipzig Zoo, where we eventually spent over 5 hours! The massive zoo included an African zone, South American Zone, an Aquarium, Koala House and more. There were only a few animals we couldn't see, like the hippos, seals and dwarf mongoose. Most however, we could spy out, including fabulous meerkats, giraffes and a baby orangutan. We even had cake a beer overlooking the zebras, ostriches and scimitar oryx.
