I like the idea of stores closed on Sundays. It was like this when I was a child growing up in Virginia. The days were spent with family, resting and relaxing in preparation for the week ahead. Perhaps this would be beneficial in today’s nonstop world. Great video, as always!

I loved New Year's Eve in Germany, Silvesternacht. I remember in Wiesbaden they had huge celebrations with tons of fireworks. The next day, you'd walk downtown and see all the little wires from the rocket style fireworks, but then to walk again downtown the day after that, clean as a whistle. I had also forgotten about Wednesdays...but being excited when November came and not only were shops open on Wednesday, but had later shopping hours, too, until Christmas...and of course, the Christmas Markets. As I do every New Year, I think fondly of Wiesbaden because we married there on 2/2. 35 years soon! Hard to believe.

THANK YOU! ...THANK YOU!!! ...THANK YOU!!! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...BEAUTIFUL! ...Watching your grand touring video around this German town at times made me cry remembering my Father, my Grandmother, my Great Grandfather. ...Germany is their homeland. I especially recall my father & his brother always talking about the beautiful country, mountains, & towns which created their home. Of course, my Father, Grandmother, & Great Grandfather spoke German. My Father told me about the wonderful buildings & homes saying no others compared. The people & families were very close & worked to help each other...everyone was wise & smart. During the early 1800s German immigrants came to the USA, worked hard, struggling for success with land purchases where the land was difficult to manage but priced at good low cost. My family members at that time harvested trees from the steep mountains & created timber beam businesses for coal mines, & those timber & sawmill companies grew well. My early German family members on my Father's side...plus the early Scotch-Irish family members on my Mother's side came to the USA with nothing & did well. Their lives speak of the strengths & gifted minds of both Germans & Scotch-Irish. ...Around 1957 my Father rejoined his comrades (very close friends) to visit towns & find family & friends after the war. The world was changing, but the homeland spirit remained strong & still exists as a rich spirit of people today. ...Kirsten & Joerg, may all the days of this new year be filled with happiness & satisfaction & happy journeys to explore & share. ...This Video Is Wonderful!!!

Happy new year, or in Scots, a guid new year tae ane an a' Here in Scotland in days gone by every town had a half day closing for shops. In some towns it would maybe be a Wednesday but in others it could be a Tuesday or, another day. The practice started to die out in larger towns in the 80's and by the 90s it only happened in smaller towns and villages. Now there's no half day closing anywhere that I know of in Scotland. When I was a child if it was half day closing in our town (which if I remember correctly was a Wednesday) if mother wanted to go shopping we would have an afternoon out to a neighbouring town. Mother knew which day was half closing in every town within miles!

Happy New Year Kirsten and Joerg. I want to visit Germany so badly now after watching your beautiful video. Enjoy yourselves. I love how you show us the various cakes. It's mid morning here in Australia but I could just eat one of those cakes. X

Shops closing on a Wednesday afternoon in England was normal when I was growing up certainly up to and including the 70s. Also a lot of shops closed all day Monday. Definitely no shopping on a Sunday. Most shops were closed by 5pm the rest of the week. I find some small independent shops still choose a Monday or Wednesday to close if they are open less hours. I agree with you. Sunday was like a different day to the rest of the week. Quiet and relaxing. I really miss that.

It would be wonderful to live above a store in a lovely square ... but my knees are too bad - Just love the Cafe and Lichen places ...

Hi Kirsten and Joerg, Happy New Year to the both of you, good health and happiness always is wished for you both, I love the architecture in Germany it’s right out of Hans Christian Anderson, so beautiful, thank you for the beautiful video, I want to tell you that when I was young and for many years as I grew up in the UK, the shops closed every Wednesday afternoon, it used to be an English tradition and there were no shops open on a Sunday years ago, of course it’s all changed now, everything is open all the time in the UK as life runs at a faster pace, sometimes it’s nice to slow down and keep the old traditions as Germany has, just my opinion, much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello Kirsten and Joerg. I so enjoy your channel. Wherever you are filming from it recharges my batteries. Germany is such a beautiful country. I remember in the 60s in England that all the shops would close early on a Wednesday. I was just a child but I often think and remember those days. A few years later myself and my family moved to Greece where Sundays remained Sundays with the shops closed and public holidays were observed as well with all the shops remaining closed. Even now the shops remain closed on New Year’s Day and public holidays are observed. I am back living in England now and feel like we are flogging a dead horse here. There’s no family time I feel anymore. Everyone is in the rat race. Anyway thank you for taking us along on your charming and most wonderful adventures. Wishing you both a very happy new year.
