If you are coming to the Frankfurt area to work, you might find Oberursel to be the perfect place of residence for you and your family.

In addition to lots of surrounding nature, clean air, traditional buildings and a small-town atmosphere, Oberursel is also home to Frankfurt International School, one of the top international schools in Europe.

I took this photo three days ago – Oberursel old town (Altstadt) is one of the nicest places around the area. At least, this is what our out-of-town visitors always say.

One good teacher in a lifetime may sometimes change a delinquent into a solid citizen.

One sure way to learn and remember the word Einbahnstrasse (one-way street) is to read this little joke. I got it out of the German language book PingPong 3.

Aus einer Zeitungsmeldung:

Tourist suchte sein Auto in der Einbahnstrasse

Köln – Ein japanischer Tourist suchte im Kölner Stadtzentrum verzweifelt nach seinem Auto, das er in der Einbahnstrasse geparkt hatte. Der Mann hatte am vergangenen Wochenende zuerst selbst nach seinem Wagen gesucht. Nach erfolgloser Suche ging er schließlich  zur Polizei. Erwartungsvoll zeigte er den Zettel, auf dem er den Namen der Straße notiert hatte: “Einbahnstraße” stand darauf.

Nachdem der Beamte den Mann über seinen Irrtum aufgeklärt hatte, suchten sie gemeinsam nach dem Wagen und entdeckten ihn schließlich in der Kasionsstraße.
