Nothing is worth more than this day.
– Johann W. Von Goethe –
It has been a wonderful day, as we were well rested, because we had spent New Year’s Eve at home, in a quiet fashion.
The picture shows two pubs/restaurants – the one on the left Zum Hirsch I have not been to yet. The one on the right, Marktwertschaft, I can definitely recommend – good food, good service, and reasonable prices.
The city of Oberursel/Taunus, the second production site for Rolls-Royce Germany, is the oldest existing aircraft production site in the world. Its museum, housed in the Dr. Günter-Kappler-Haus, displays an overview of the history of motor production in Oberursel, beginning with its founding at the Oberursel Motor Factory in 1892.

Jack Stites, a former U.S. Army soldier and now a retired police officer, was stationed in Oberursel at the Motorenfabrik (Motor Pool) from January 1954 to January 1955.

Before making my final trip to the supermarket this morning (most shops close at 2 p.m. today) to return some deposit bottles (Pfandflaschen) from last night’s birthday party, I took a photo of the ones called Weihnachtsbier.

On our way to our daughter’s horseback riding activity, we always pass by this farmer’s market in Steinbach.

新年明けましておめでとうございます。激励をいただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。
I am so happy because this year has started with the Goethes sentence “Nothing is worth more than this day”. A modification of it, i.e “Genieß ich jetzt den höchsten Augenblick”, is my big challenge.
I have been looking forward to enjoying the most beautiful time at the Marktwertschaft.
Have a good start!!!
Oberursel Altstadt in winter is quite picturesque!
