This magnifcent cathedral is considered the largest Romanesque cathedral in Europe. Consecrated in 1061. The cities of Mainz and Worms have similar cathedrals, but Speyer is the largest one. It is a UNESCO treasure. This is a walk-through, with no spoken description. Hope you enjoy the music. Speyer is easy to reach by train from Frankfurt. Has a lovely old town and an old Jewish Quarter. We on...

Historic Steam Train in Frankfurt
zhlédnutí 269Před měsícem
What a fun sight to see in Frankfurt! When this wonderful old steam train stops at your station. This was in Griesheim and a group had chartered the train for a day trip. The train is often in the city and offers short trips, specialty events like the Teddy Bear ride, the Santa ride, etc. or longer rides to towns like Königstein, Rüdesheim, Michelstadt, and more. Check their website for future ...

There are 2 ways to get between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, the shuttle buses or the Skytrain. This is the fun way and gives you a great view of the airport. For kids it is even more fun.
Luggage Storage Facilities, Frankfurt Airport - Terminal 1 & 2
zhlédnutí 197Před měsícem
Wondering where you can store your carry-on or luggage so you can go into Frankfurt for a tour, or just because you don't want to carry it around with you on a long layover? This video will show you where. In Terminal 1, it is by the Arrival Gate B-1, and in Terminal 2, it is by the Arrival Gate D.
Luggage Storage at the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main train station)
zhlédnutí 231Před 2 měsíci
Store your bags at the luggage storage facility, like the airport has or in a locker at the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) in Frankfurt. I made a mistake about the pricing on the lockers where you pay electronically. It is 4 € initially, and then another 2€ when you get back. Basically, 6€ per day. They look a lot cleaner though and are new.
75th Berlin Airlift Memorial, Wiesbaden - 15-16 June, 2024

Great memorial this weekend in Wiesbaden. If you get a chance to go on Sunday, go for it. The Candy Drop was so much fun for the kids and you could tell they had worked really hard on getting all those candy parachutes made. The Berlin Airlift exhibit is inside and is huge!. This was the largest humanitarian effort ever undertaken, and it always amazes me what they did. Most of the gates are cl...

The Games begin on Friday and Germany is ready for them, with parties happening in all of the cities where games will be played. Frankfurt has a fan mile along the river and a huge, floating screen in the middle of the Main. The party began here last night, with a great laser show, and it seemed half the population of Frankfurt was there to watch it.

Wow what a change, I was stationed at Gibbs for 18 Mos 1983-84. 284th M.P. Co. 709th Battalion. I could see 97th General Hospital out my window. Fond memories of eating pommel frittes and curry wurst from the front gate stand.
Thanks for the video. It was helpful. Since I have a 4 hour layover, I was going to check out the lounges in Terminal 2.
If one wants to walk around and do some sightseeing, which station is better to get off at: Haupbahnhof or Haupwache Station? Thank you :)
@@yuliataushanova4804 The Hauptwache is best.
Hi, thanks for the video! I was wondering, in this occasion, were you in transit from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1? Because I would have to do that later for my transit from Frankfurt to Vancouver!
Hi, no, I was just doing this to film as I live here and don't need to be in the transit zone to switch terminals.
Thank-you for getting back to me. Seeing Camp King brought back many "good" memories. Thank-you again.
It is why I make these.
Excuseme have you seen bells in this church
No, I haven't. I have only seen the bells in the Alte Nikolai.
Y now where can you see bells
@@user-yg4pq4et6w I am sorry, am not sure what you are asking about. I just told you you cannot see the bells in the Paulskirche
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 do you love bells
@@user-yg4pq4et6w Yes, I like them.
I was stationed with the 570th Military Police Railway back in 1980 to 1981. I take it there's no more "Camp King" military post.
No, they closed in 1992 I believe. All the military left Frankfurt by 1995, and Rhein Main closed around 2005 I believe.
Does the Argentine stand have alfajores for dessert? I can't get into macarons because we always had alfajores, which are much much better.
They were mainly just doing grilled meat, maybe empanadas
As a kid, I always loved amusement park rides except for the octopus - that was my nemesis.
I liked everything. Now, don't want to go upside down and the ferris wheel scares me a bit.
Ist das Fernbahnhof ?
The Fernbahnhof is the long distance train station located on the lowest level of the Squaire.
Is it a Frankfurt thing or more general to Germany to have examples of the menu items on display? Also, regarding the buffalo burgers, the bison beef that is available here in norcal is milder and lower fat than the cow beef.
@@vicavirosenzweig418 it is a food truck fest. They show their ethnic food examples
A big festival! Great fun! 😊
@@barbarajefferson4672 always!
Nice vlog love Frankfurt 👍
Thank you! I love Frankfurt too!
Jamaican Jerk chicken 🎉
I wanted to try it, but the lines were always too long.
Thank you so helpful ❤
Glad it helped you. This is why I make these.
Thx for sharing ❤
Hope you can make it to the fest
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 hope so too
Fantastic tour. This brings back great memories. I was stationed at the Gibbs Kaserne 1968-69. I drove deuce and a halves in Co. C, 308 S & S BN. We hauled men and supplies throughout the Frankfurt area...A great duty that allowed me to see a lot of West Germany on assignments. West Germany was a beautiful country. Great food, so much to see and the people were all friendly. My old barracks certainly did not look like this! Luxury "lofts" it surely was not!!! The Frankfurt government spent many DM's "to upgrade" the barracks!! We had wide window ledges that served as a make shift refrigerator for cold "stuff" during the late fall through early spring. I remember it was cold in the winter in the barracks and many times, the hot water was limited!!! I visited that kiorsk often when I returned from downtown. I remember the cemetery being more visible. They had a roller skating rink at the 97th Gen. Hosp. I am assuming the "wine club" was the old MP station at the main gate. The abandoned building with the columns was a focal point of the kaserne. There was a giant eagle (which you mentioned) on the top of the building. As I remember, we used to have classes in that building. Our motor pool was close to the mess hall. The new school might be where the motor pool was located. I don't remember seeing the mess hall on this "walking tour." One other "Walking tour" of Gibbs showed the mess hall, but it appeared empty. I really enjoyed this "walking tour" video. Thanks for making it and showing it!
Thank you for sharing such great memories!
Thank you. I will be staying near there in December 2024. I will check it out.
C Company 45th Med in 1963. Sgt. Stack only one I remember.
That was quite a few years ago. Thanks for commenting.
The description is not correct
Description of what exactly.?
Brings back a lot of memories from the 80s
Did you live or work here?
Thank you. I used to have a room near there back in the 80s when I was stationed in the area
Glad you enjoyed the video. I bet you have a lot of memories to share.
I was stationed there in the mid seventies as a member of the USAREUR ASGMT Team. Every Enlisted US Army soldier assigned to Europe had to come thru in or to be assigned to their next major command. We also qualified soldiers thru interviews for nuclear surety duty or other special assignments. I have very special memories of this assignment.
I was hoping to hear from people who worked here. Thanks. Still waiting to find out what that date means though.
Für mich die schönste Kirche in Frankfurt!
Delicious! So many choices!
Oh yeah. I can't wait to go back today.
Little low on the speaking volume in the beginning but I absolutely loved the ambient music throughout. Seemed very appropriate for a cathedral.
I am not a techie person and was trying to only have speaking at the beginning and then the music. This is how it turned out. Still learning. Glad you liked the music. It is fun going through the CZcams library to find appropriate music.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 You're doing a wonderful job, certaintly better than me. I'm so tech backwards that I'm surprised I use a machine instead of washing my clothes in a creek.
@@NannerPuddin144 oh thank you.
@@NannerPuddin144 lol
My family was stationed there from about, (ungefaehr" ) 1960 to July of 1964. My friends were Steve Downs RIP, Mike Thomson (RIP) and Tom Maguire, who's still with us. It was a grand time, with lots of Bier from Zum Weissen Ross (my computer will not give me an ess-tzet). We avoided soldiers and drank with the German farmers, etc. It was wonderful. Great times, only brief occasions left. For those of you who may have met him, Steve Downs is deceased, and, from our group, I'm all that's left. EAGLES UEBER ALLES.
Thank you for sharing your memories of Camp King.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 My memories of CK and Oberursel are all very pleasant. I was ready to return to Oberursel a day or two after I left it.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Some of the best memories of my life. On the other hand, I have NO desire to return after seeing what's been done to it. How Boring. I realize it's not your fault, but to me, it's terrible. There was a time when I actually returned to Camp King with my wife and my mother in law. They held us at that gate until some scared to death E-6 came to show us around, something that he wasn't good enough to do. I showed them two or three times and told the E-Six that if he was that scared, he should find another profession. He was pitiful
@@fredschloss9517 At least some of the old buildings are there. Lots of old posts in Frankfurt are completely gone. Nothing left at all.
I was stationed there in 1987 1988 HHD 709TH MP BN
Excuseme y have question about liebenfrauenchurch
Please ask your question and I will see if I can answer it.
Can to see bells in this church
@@user-yg4pq4et6w I have never been in the bell tower of this church.
Also, can you take your entire luggage trolley onto the bus? Or do you have to unload your bags?
You cannot take the carts on the buses or on the SkyTrain. Only your bags.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 ahh ok, thank you!
I was super nervous about how to navigate the airport to flixbus change with all my luggage. This really helped quell my anxiety. Thank you!!
The walk to the bus area is long, so go ahead and ride the shuttle bus there.
Love the VW’s. Wish I still had my old 68! Fun video! Love the California music! Thanks!
The music was great! It was fun seeing all the Beetles as you don't see them on the road very often.
Hey.. your videos are very informative. ❤ Do you recommended any one day tour ? Have a really long layover next month.
We are Frankfurt on Foot Walking Tours. Every day at 10:00. Book on our website.
at 2:20 is the door/landing that morning roll call was taken for b co 143 after cq duty.. it was july when i first met sgt robert morse.. he came to us from nam without any layover in the states.. anyway we were dressed for summer.. sgt morse was not.. he came out in full winter gear.. pile cap with flaps down.. field jacket.. and gloves.. and most likely some stuff i didn t even know about.. since we were the same rank and i had never encountered this before .. after roll call and all present i ask to talk with sgt morse.. trying to tell someone of the same rank that top is not going to let you run around in winter gear.. well he wasn t going to listen to me so after about ten minutes.. he more or less knew what was coming .. poor guy.. he was in summer dress later on that day.. alot of other stuff happened by that door too .. i was there jan 66 to july 69
Interesting story!
My mustang reached "classic" status this year.......and then she died. (RIP Sylvia) But I'm enjoying my new car with it's larger cargo space.
There weren't as many mustangs there as I had hoped, but they were still nice to see.
Thank you! Remember the delicious spaghetti ice! Yum!
My favorite summer treat!
Thanks Jo. We lived in the McNair Housing area 83-85. Loved the area and still do :)
I was with Co. D 17th. Inf. LRRP stationed at Gibbs Kaserne in 1968. We were an Airborne unit attached to NATO and trained with the German Paratroopers and the British in another part of Germany. We were a spec op company, highly trained and participated in some NATO ops ie. attacking a German Nike Missile site unannounced. Also, counterinsurgency training and an op against the British. We redeployed back to Benning in '68 where we spent time in the field training and also with Marine Recon in the swamps. We also trained for a short time in crowd control for a political convention. After several months training and maintaining our jump status by jumping with the cherries from jump school, my entire company received orders for Ranger School. I think it was the first time ever an entire company got orders for Ranger training without applying. We were all accepted, but I chose not to go as I was sick of training and told the Old Man, "Just give me my orders for Nam because that was where everyone was going after Ranger school. He was surprised I didn't want to go to Ranger training because of the reputation of being a Ranger commanded much respect, but as I said, I had been training the entire time of my enlistment and wanted to get going to the real thing which I ended up in Nam in January of '68 with A Co. 3rd. Bat. 503 Inf. 173rd. Airborne Brigade in the Central Highlands.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this important part of your life with all of us.
No I didn't know him but he may have arrested me one night after I put a guy in the hospital and got run down by the "P's!"
I wish someone had said that is much cheaper to take an uber, instead of the train to and a taxi from the city to the hotel! Taking the train was a nuisance and many at the terminal will not help wth the tickets! Take an uber!
I have never taken an Uber, so knew nothing about it.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 It was much cheaper. and easier.
Thanks for the video! I graduated from the American High School there in 1982. Great memories!
Are you coming next Sept. for the big reunion?
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Sure would like to, but probably not.
I will be in frankfurt for 3 days. Would you recommend staying in hoscst if its possible. More interested in the old city or older parts
There aren't a lot of hotels in Höchst, I think Lindner is the only one. It is easy to get to from Frankfurt though. There are older neighborhoods in Frankfurt to stay in, or something central, like Motel One.
Thanks for the video. I was stationed at Gibbs 1974-1975 with the 84th Army Band.
A special occasion? Neat!
they looked like they were having fun.
Looks like the model for Thomas the train.
Cute idea and maybe it is?. Last month they had Mädchen day and only girls and women were allowed to come out and work on the train. I wanted to do this and the next time it is offered, I will.
That looks like fun!
It is. I need to see when they are running again and take a ride.
Very informative. Thanks
@@farooqamin1028 Glad it was helpful.
You should have hopped on and shown us the ride
@@nothanks1545 i I couldn’t. It was a private charter. Will do that though soon.
Nice video. By any chance, are these markets open past December 25th?
Most markets close on the 22nd this year, or possibly the 23rd. There are a few that will be open later. I usually post these on my blog.
Good to know...thanks for this video!
you are welcome!
Happy Fourth!!
