Easter is a happy time. After a long winter, nature is fi nally in full bloom. During this time, children wait for the Easter bunny, people combine their free days to make a long weekend and school is out for at least a couple of days. In the Christian tradition, it is also the fi nale of Lent season. Needless to say, next to Christmas, Easter is Germany’s most popular holiday.

The multitudes of traditions following this day stem from Christian and heathen times but all evolve around the same idea: the rebirth of nature, the resur-rection of Christ and the celebration of life itself. At the same time, copying nature’s spring beauty, people decorate their homes and gardens with adorned, dyed or ornamented eggs whose preparation is a popular family event. Especially scenic and well worth a trip is a custom of villages in the Southeast of Germany. In the Frankonian Swiss, many communities set up Easter wells fi lled with hundreds of colored eggs. Though the original idea was to honor water for its gift of life, this has become a popular competition between the villages for the well with the highest number of eggs.

The connection of eggs and Easter dates back to Medieval Ages. During Lent season, the church did not allow the consumption of eggs. As a consequence, great numbers of eggs were amassed in the weeks prior to Easter. During the festive days they

were then used as means of payment or little presents. Later, exchanging these little gifts became a popular custom between sweethearts.

Apart from optical pleasure, Easter also meets the joy of eating, especially for anyone with a sweet tooth. Only Christmas time assortments can rival the wide range of sweets offered in the supermarkets during Easter time. From little chocolates to hand-made truffl es, not just children enjoy the contents of their Easter baskets. But there is even more food to it. “Easter lamb” is one speciality that no longer con-sists of meat nowadays, but refers to a cake formed like the very animal. Other bakery products look like rabbits, roosters or poults. Another typical seasonal delight is sweet plaited milk bread nicely braided into an Easter wreath. So, even without religious inten-tions, it is well wise to meet this season with some prior dieting.

What would this time of year be without its lead-ing character, the Easter bunny, which was fi rst men-tioned in the medical scripture “De ovis paschalibus — About Easter Eggs,” by physician Georg Franck von Frankenau in 1682. German children believe that, according to their behavior, the Easter bunny brings and hides the eggs throughout the house. So, Easter Sunday usually starts with the children’s trea-sure hunt. Often enough, by the way, it ends with parents secretly counting the sweets to avoid fi nding melted chocolate remains later in the summer.

Apart from culinary delights, there are a few play-

ful and competitive customs, too. In many rural areas, huge wood stacks are prepared and on the evening of Easter Saturday, the fi res are lit to cast out wintertime. Sometimes this is also represented by straw fi gures that get burned. Often, the village men contend for the tallest fi re. A speciality of the city of Lüdge in Westphalia is the “Easter Wheel” where a burning oak wheel fi lled with straw rolls down a hill at night. “Ostereiertitschen,” the egg tapping game, is a popular competition among young people. Two players take hard-boiled eggs and hit them against another. The egg whose shell remains intact wins. “Ostereierschieben,” egg rolling, has a tradition dating back 400 years in the East German city of Bautzen. On Easter Sunday, children of affl uent fami-lies used to let eggs roll down the Protschenberg hill to be picked up by poor kids. Nowadays, contestants use plastic balls and can win prizes. Finally, an almost mythical custom evolves around the “Easter water,” which dates back to to ancient times. Young girls are to go and drink water from a spring in silence before the fi rst rays of the sun meets them. The water alleg-edly has healing infl uences and the gift of fertility.

So, there are many things you can do with eggs: roll them, tap them, paint them or hide them, but no matter if you celebrate the resurrection of Christ or the rebirth of nature, Easter is a very popular time in Germany. Whether it is burning wheels or chocolate eggs, sacred water or Easter cakes, it is a time fi lled with joy and anticipation.

Some 10,000 people collaborated to make this a unique experience.

“Last year, 1.2 million visitors enjoyed them-selves here. Be one of them this time. It will be a really great festival with some of the world’s best attractions,” said festival spokeswoman Sabrina Kampe. “What makes it so special is the fact that we offer something for everybody, from action lovers to Bon Vivants, from kids to seniors.”

A must for all adrenalin junkies is the “Olympia Looping,” a roller-coaster with five looping tracks and a length of 1.25 kilometers and speed of up to 100 kph.

For the first time in Stuttgart, the “Rocket” will shoot passengers 180 feet skyward while furi-ously rotating around its axis. Another premier is “Intoxx,” a full looping swing that presses 3Gs of centrifugal force on its riders. It’s literally breathtaking!

“The Party Goes On” is the motto of the grand fest tents. To keep you rocking, top acts and bands will perform all night and “when the air gets too dry, there’s the Hofbräu beer for humidi-fication,” — as they say in Stuttgart. Lovers of Bavarian style can enjoy the “Almhüttendorf,” an alpine village serving food and music from Germany’s south.

All day Wednesdays, merry-go-rounds and carousels for every age group offer reduced prices for families as well as free face painting, clowns and balloon artists.

“We want to make sure this is a family attrac-

tion. So, apart from the special program on Family Day, many festival tents offer special children’s menus and several fun rides provide short term baby-sitting services allowing parents to enjoy their rides, too,” Ms. Kampe said.

Situated next to the “Krämermarkt,” visi-tors can discover a range of shops and arts and crafts stands. Visitors will find a Western store, Charly’s Magic Shop and the Pearl King Fine Jewelry, but they can also purchase anything from hats, socks, spices, pots, minerals and even pet food.

To enjoy the spring festival to its fullest, authorities recommend travelling by public trans-port. The local S-Bahn trains S1, S2, S3 as well as R1, R2 and R8 can be found at Bad Cannstatt, which is within walking distance of the fest. If you want to come by car, you can leave your car at parking lot Wilhelmsplatz (Wilhelmsplatz 11), Mühlgrün (Überkinger Straße 13/1), König-Karl-Passage (Badstrasse 17) or Wilhelma (Neckartalstrasse). However, keep in mind that a low emission zone has been implemented in Stuttgart. To enter the city, an “Emission Badge” (€5 to €10) is required for your vehicle. Not dis-playing a badge can result in a fine of €40. For more details, contact your car dealer.

The Stuttgart Spring Festival will be open from noon to 11 p.m. Monday through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to midnight on weekends and public holidays. The fest is located at the Cannstatter Wasen (Mercedesstraße 50).

Soon, spargel season will inun-date the area with Germans flooding to their favorite restaurants daily for their fill of the delicacy in almost ritualistic ecstasy!

No American will be harmed in the rush! Instead, Americans can join in the flurry and become con-verts to one of the most delicious eating opportunities of their lives. spargel season lasts from the first week in April until June 24, which coincides with the feast of John the Baptist.

However, the high point of the season comes around May 20 with most of the tender spargel sprouts gone by June 6. After that date, the sprouts become too large or they begin to turn purple, which indicates a bitter taste.

spargel is white asparagus, but must never be mistaken for the green stuff children hate. No one need force

a person to eat white asparagus. Instead, once a person tries spargel

in any of its many manifestations, they often become enthusiastic fans.

For Americans who make dis-paraging remarks such as “No way, man, I ain’t eatin’ that stuff!” or “I always hated asparagus as a kid!” the doubts disappear with one spargel dinner.

Not a side dish vegetable like its green cousin, spargel serves as the main entree. Typically, a pound of spargel covers the middle of a spe-cial plate with melted butter while boiled potatoes and sliced ham pro-vide side dishes. Hollandaise or bearnaise sauce lathered over the spargel fulfills a gourmet’s dreams.

However, restaurants offer spargel in many variations, with chefs constantly inventing delicious variations that entice Germans back day after day.

For example, Pfeffrmühle, one of the favorite eateries of medical pro-fessionals at the Landstuhl hospital,

offers its signature Flammkuchen specialty garnished with spargel and ham, or spargel spears with hollan-daise/bearnaise sauce, spargel soup, and spargel omelets. A particularly tasty dish is toast stacked with ham and spargel then cheese and the whole concoction heated into a per-fect lunch.

During spargel season, the aver-age German enjoys the delicious white asparagus in one form or another at least once every day.

They buy it from roadside ven-dors such as the small farmer with the strawberry booth across the road from Kaufland and Toom in Landstuhl.

Schwetzingen near Heidelberg calls itself the “spargel capital of the world” and holds an annual Spargelfest that attracts guests from around the globe.

“The main difference between green asparagus and spargel is the way it is grown, which makes for the different color,” said Johanna

Scherer, co-owner of Pfeffermühle. “The workers completely cover

the plant with dirt, which protects the shoot from sunlight so it never turns green, but it remains tender,” she said.

The sandy soil along autobahn A6 east of Kaiserslautern provides perfect conditions for growing spargel, which explains the white and aluminum blankets that cover the fields around Grunstadt and towns to the south during March, April and May. One restuarant that prepares spargel perfectly is zum Burg Graf von Leiningen in the wine village of Neu Leiningen.

On their patio overlooking the Romantic Wine Road on a sun-shiny day, a visiting American can see all the way to Mannheim or Speyer while enjoying an offering of spargel in melted butter accompa-nied by the local Ruttger winery’s fine Riesling.

Now, that’s life in Europe at its best!

Photos clockwise from left: A delicious salad results from combining Italian lettuce variations, cut spears of spargel and pine nuts. Then, hollandaise sauce is served over the salad and accompanied with pumpkin green pesto and small ham rolls. This salad combination highlights the menu at Graf von Leiningen restuarant in Neu Leiningen during spargel season.

The most popular serving for spargel is as the main entree with boiled ham or prosciutto ham and salted potatoes as the side dish. Then the spargel is lathered with hollandaise or bernaise sauces and accompanied with a dry white wine, such as Riesling or Mueller-Thurgau.

For a late breakfast or late  morning brunch, nothing beats a spargel omelette served with strong coffee and German farmer’s bread rolls. A champagne mimosa adds to the spirit of celebrating a perfect day.

SPARGEL SEASON IS COMING!

Beer unites and at the same time divides the nation. The one question you will get a unanimous reply from most Germans is “Whose beer is best?” “Ours,” they will say. And funny enough, quite a few foreigners agree — apart from some Belgians and Australians perhaps. On the other hand, if you dig into the question “Which German beer is best?” there you are. The nation laps-es back into pre-federal times, it’s South against North, East against West.

In fact, some aficionados would even say: Tell me what you drink and I’ll tell you who you are!

Now, let’s find out why German beer has such a good

reputation. International brew master Guido Thomas took care of beer in Vail, Colo., and even brewed for His Royal Highness, the Prince of Bavaria.

“First of all,” Mr. Thomas said, “the brewing business started early here in Germany.”

In the year 766, an official document confirms the deliv-ery of beer to a monastery in Geisingen.

“We owe it to hungry monks that beer was invented,” Mr. Thomas said. “As alcohol was forbidden during Lent season, they developed what they called ‘liquid food’ — a term still used in Bavaria.

Therefore, monasteries were the earliest producers of beer, predominantly in the south of Germany.”

Some names of these brewer-ies have still remained until now,

like Paulaner or Franziskaner. Soon, the “juice of the barley” became so popular that produc-tion sites developed all over the country.

But to make sure that what’s called beer really is beer, the Bavarian duke Wilhelm IV signed a law in 1516 that is still more or less valid today in Germany. It’s the so-called “Reinheitsgebot,” or the law of purity, which states that only water, hops and barley may be used for brewing.

By the way, the “Gerstensaft,” or malt juice, was such an emo-tional topic that in 1888, after a small price increase, angry crowds literally took several Munich pubs apart, an event called the “Salvator-Battle.”

It is not surprising to find that Salvator happens to be a strong beer, because of its high per-centage of alcohol.

Coming back to the qual-ity question. Experts claim it is this law of purity that makes German beer so special.

“It really boils down to the fact that we use no additives, no other ingredients and no chemi-cal tricks,” said Mr. Thomas, who currently takes care of the quality of the Hochdorfer Kronen brewery.

So much for an answer that unites us Germans. But which beer should you drink?

Only to wine drinkers is beer just beer. Just talking about the different sorts of beer could fill a book.

There are more than 1,300 breweries in Germany, likewise innumerable types and varia-tions of beer. Berliner Weiße is a sour wheat beer from the German capital Berlin that’s usually flavoured with raspber-ry syrup that often comes with a straw.

The Pilsner on the contrary is found everywhere and comes straight from the bottle. Gose is

from the east of Germany and calls for caraway or red cur-rants juice.

Kölsch is exclusively brewed in Cologne and served in small slim 0.2-liter glasses — abso-lutely frowned upon by the lov-ers of South German wheat beer that needs to be drunk from a tall 0.5-liter glass.

Rauchbeer — a smoked beer — is a speciality of Bamberg in Frankonia and it goes on with the innumerable regional spe-cialties like Bockbeer, Eisbock or Roggenbier, to name a few.

It’s a science indeed but also a matter of local pride.

The Bavarians call them-selves the beer people, and there would be no Octoberfest without Munich breweries like Paulaner or Hacker-Pschorr. Having a wheat beer in a sum-mertime beer garden combines the love of tradition with the joy of living. Then again, even in Frankonia — a region that technically belongs to Bavaria though you should never call them Bavarians — people pride themselves in having more breweries per inhabitants than

any other region of Germany. Their strong Bockbier always makes a lasting impression on visitors.

To enjoy nothing but a Kölsch is a patriotic duty for those from Cologne, whereas up in the northern regions it’s the Flensburger Pils, for exam-ple, with its unique “plop” noise when opened that stands for a relaxed personality.

Having mentioned just a few, it becomes obvious that the local beer represents the local folks, which is why there’s no real winner.

It’s all up to your own taste. Find out for yourself and have a nice Saturday, which is the Day of German Beer. Prost!

For a guided tour of a brew-ery call 06302 912-144 or e-mail [email protected]. The tour takes approximate-ly 1 hour and is followed by another hour of beer tasting.

Tours take place at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Thursdays at the Privatbrauerei Bischoff, An den Hopfengärten 6, 67722 Winnweiler.

Because of the law on purity, only these natural ingredients can go into mak-ing proper German beer.

Brew master Guido Thomas, from the Hochdorf Kronenbrauerei, tests the gravity of the liquid to make sure it becomes proper beer.

One nation, many beers – Prost!Beer has always been and will always be a major topic for us Germans. Last year, 98.3 million hectoliters of beer were consumed — an average of 109.6 liters per person.

“A sweeter flower did Nature ne’er put forth, nor fairer garden yet was never known.” — “The Rose,” by William Browne.

William Browne must have been to the Rose Garden in Zweibrücken. What better place is there to visit after a long cold winter than a park full of blooming roses? On May 1, the gates open to this pic-turesque area with romantic pavilions and little ponds all dedicated to the queen of flowers.

Zweibrücken is a delightful little town some 55 kilometers away from Kaiserslautern that, despite its size, offers something unique and exquisite — the rose garden. The history of Zweibrücken’s famous landmark began in 1912 with the decision to create an open air rose display. Today, it is a 50,000-square-meter oasis of nature and beauty with 60,000 roses and more than 2,000 different varieties and species. Furthermore, a 2.5-kilometer path through the park leads to the romantic Wild Rose Garden, teaching about the history of rose growing and displaying ancient types of wild Rosaceae long forgotten else-where.

The rose garden, however, is not only a botanic space but hosts a multitude of cultural events in this beautiful environment.

On May 15, popular tunes from the golden ’20s and ’30s played by the Nostalgia Orchestra mark the beginning of this year’s concert season. The sounds

of country music mingle with the delightful scent of roses on May 29 when the “Picnic in the park” series begins.

More picnic dates: the French German chamber symphony orchestra Friedrichsthal performs on June 23, Suite 16 plays pop, swing and musical melodies and it’s jazz time on Aug. 28 with Jazz Avenue.

Garden lovers will be delighted June 4 and 5 when the Rose and Garden Fair takes place with more than 70 vendors. The year’s highlight will be from June 23 to June 26 during the peak time of blossoming. In a sea of ambrosial flowers you can embark on a jazz summer night, a festival of thousand lights and an oriental night.

The party culminates with the enthronement of the new queen of roses. To savor summertime, the Saarland State Orchestra performs on Sept. 4 and the autumn garden market on Oct. 1 and 2 highlights the end of the season.

The poet William Browne of Tavistock, Great Britain, lived from 1588 to 1643. It was not for him to experience the beauty of Zweibrücken’s Rose Garden. But for you, it’s the perfect time. Starting in May, opening hours are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. General entry costs €4 for adults, and €1.20 for children 6 to 17 years old. Families and groups also pay less, and there are special ticket prices during events.

To find the rose garden, enter “Rosengartenstraße 50” into your navigation system. The park is located in the middle of the town.

For more information, call 06332/871-451 or 871-471 or send an e-mail to [email protected]. You can also check out the garden’s website at www.zweibruecken.de.

When asked by others what my favorite part of living in Germany is, my first response is always, “the great German bakeries!”

When I walk into my neighborhood Barbarossa, my senses come to life at the wonderful smell of freshly baked breads and pastries.

My taste buds immediately begin to tingle in anticipation of the first bite of the croissant I always order along with a latte macchiato.

Carol Lopez, who has lived in the Hochspeyer community for more than a decade, attests to this.

“American breads are great for toasting, but German bread comes with a taste, freshness and whole-some flavor like nowhere else,” she said. “I know when I enter the bakery in the morning that all of the breads are freshly made

that day.” There are a host of different varieties of German breads available at German bakeries.

If you want a loaf of bread, order a “ganzes Brot” or a “Brotlaib,” and if you would like to try black bread or German pumper-nickel bread, order a “Schwarzbrot.”

Many German bakeries have spe-cialty breads, such as: whole-grain baguettes, pumpkin seed bread and sunflower seed bread. If you would like your bread sliced, just say “Können Sie es bitte schneiden?” and

it will be sliced for you.

When buying German bread, you must remember that since the bread is baked fresh daily, it dries out very quick-

ly and will become hard by the next day if it’s not eaten right away.

“I love German breads better than (bread from the) bakeries at home,

simply because it’s fresher,” said Sgt. Joseph Cottrell, who is stationed on Panzer Kaserne. “German bakeries have such a large variety of breads and pastries that you sim-ply don’t get state-

side. You have breads for every meal to choose from. To a bread lover such as myself, it’s like a little piece of baked heaven.”

German bak-eries differ from American baker-ies in a few ways. Some American bak-eries use more sugar in their icings than German bakeries.

If you are accustomed to sweeter tasting cakes and pastries, you might

have to acquire a taste for German cakes and pastries, since they are less sweet. “German bakers tend toward using less sugar and you can, there-fore, taste the flavor of the cakes,” Ms. Lopez said. “They use fresh fruits more than the Americans and again with less sugar. Another factor is that they don’t use preservatives and addi-tives, so cakes are generally made and sold in the same day.”

Also, don’t confuse German choc-olate cake for being an authentic

German cake. This cake was cre-

ated by Sam German in 1852. Instead, have the German Black Forest cake, which is arguably one of Germany’s most famous cakes.

Having the plea-sure of eating at German bakeries is

one of the many positive experiences I’m sure many of us will take with us from living in Germany.

GERMAN BREADS & BAKERIESWhat makes them so special? How are they different from American bread/bakeries?

Why do Americans love German bread/bakeries more than the ones at home?

Hauenstein, a small village about 50 minutes south of Kaiserslautern, is all about feet. Here, they make shoes, sell shoes, export shoes, and their museum tells the history of shoes.

Just as important, the Hauenstein area provides walking trails to enjoy the shoes while hiking the hills, enjoying the forests and breathing the fresh air.

More than 30 factories once produced foot-wear ranging from military boots to high fashion sandals. The German Shoe Museum, a renovat-ed factory, now displays the his-

tory of shoe making that parallels the history of Germany “from the ground up,” so to speak. Today, only a few shoe factories still exist in and around Hauenstein, so now the town mostly does business by selling shoes at the many warehouse outlets that line “The Shoe Mile.”

In the museum at the south end of town and away from the hustle of the outlets, one hears the rattle of running machines where workers once produced millions of shoes.

Spread across three floors in the Bauhaus build-ing, the museum divides into historic eras on the first three floors then presents a vast array of shoe styles on the top floor. The second floor, with expertly created displays of memorabilia, provides a fantastic walk through post World War II and Cold War history.

Though the displays appear only in German, the museum provides audio-guide devices that interact with the displays in English.

Shoe freaks can go wild on the top floor, which houses the Ernst Tillman Collection of more than 3,500 pairs of shoes from ancient Roman sandals

to contemporary spike heels. Shoes worn bycelebrities also appear on display,

including those of tennis players Boris Becker and Steffi

Graf and the

shoes of French leader Charles deGaulle, as well as work shoes of present German Chancellor Angela Merkl.

A long street of shoe outlets crowds the main entrance of Hauenstein with every kind of footwear imaginable from sports sneakers to high fashion pumps and heels.

Brand names include Converse, Ecco, Sanita, Keen, Naot, Bugatti, Josef Seibel, VANS, Mephisto and Romika. An array of fine Italian leather boots takes up a complete section of Shoe Marke, one of the larger stores. Some smaller firms around town attach their shops directly to the factories.

If a buyer catches the right time, it’s possible to grab a 50 percent discount at closing stores that fail in this highly competitive market. However, most discounts range from 10 to 35 percent off retail. Also, almost every store maintains a sell-off depart-ment to clear out last year’s models, off sizes and seasonal footwear at half price.

Shoe stores in Hauenstein, as well as the German Shoe Museum, are open Sundays. Not all of these outlets take VAT forms or credit cards, so ask before buying.

Two parallel routes from Kaiserslautern lead to Hauenstein, each easy to drive in about 50 minutes. Autobahn 62 west of Landstuhl leads to Pirmasens where it connects with A10 heading east. Head toward Landau for 13 miles and find Hauenstein on the right side of the road.

Or, take the B270 from Kaiserslautern toward Pirmasens and connect with

the A10. Turn left onto A10, drive east toward Landau for 13 miles, and you’ll

spot the shoe outlet stores on the right.

The GPS address is 76846 Hauenstein (Germany).

Satisfy your shoe fetish with a trip to the German Shoe Museum

 Designer shoes from famous makers take up the entire lower floor of one shoe outlet in Hauenstein. The main attraction this year seems to be the fashion boots from all over the world. The store also offers accessories of leather and silk or nylon/rayon.

The German system of garbage removal and recycling seems so strange and strict to many Americans, so we wondered how troops and families on and off base were handling this very different system. We asked, “Do you think you’ve gained a pretty good understanding of the German system of recycling and garbage con-trol, or are you still a bit confused?”

Man on the Street

“I know what trash goes in what bin, but I

usually ask my wife what trash goes out on which day. I can always look down the block to

see what the other folks put out.”

Brian Augsburger, civilian, USAFE/FM

Ramstein

“I understand the German trash system pretty well. The trash

handlers make it pretty easy to follow, even

presenting a picture of what is allowed with a description alongside

the graphic.”

Spc. Joshua Brosius, A 5-7 ADA, Rhine

Ordnance Barracks

“I need to watch what my neighbors are putting out, otherwise I wouldn’t

know. Of course, I received a ‘garbage guide’ when I inpro-

cessed, and that handy guide answered almost

all of my questions about where certain types of

garbage must go.”

Capt. Anthony DelaRosa, 405th Army Sapper

Brigade, Panzer Kaserne

“I think we do well with getting the right trash in the right bins and bags.

I’m sure we could do some things better, but overall we get the gist.”

Recycling made easyStory and photos by A.L. ShaffContributing writer

Recycling contributes to saving the environment, and Germany has succeeded grandly with its fight against growing mountains of garbage. But for many Americans living here, recycling can seem like a confusing task and just a big bother.

However, some easy guidelines exist that can quickly turn any newcomer into a recycling expert.

A major part of the success of this program involves the proper sorting of garbage. So, this is where the lesson starts.

OK, what do we do with glass? Any kind of bottle or glass jar that is non-returnable and on which you paid no deposit goes into the color-coded glass bins down the street. This includes wine bottles, jam/preserve jars, oil bottles and juice bottles. But, ceramics, china, mirrors and wine corks never go into these trash cans. First, sort the bottles by color. Different slots take green, brown or clear glass, so the glass must be deposited into the right slots. Almost every German neighborhood provides these giant containers just down the street or around the corner.

Your green, blue, yellow, brown and gray plastic household trash cans stand at your doorstep with the color of the lid indicating the can’s use. It’s important to note that not all municipalities use the same system. For example, you may not find a brown or yellow can at your door-step. In the absence of a yellow can, put plastic materials into the yellow plastic bag (Gelbe Sack) and place it outside for pick up on scheduled days. You can get the bags at various places in the community, most often from the town hall.

Paper that goes in the blue container includes all packaging made of paper and cardboard, newspapers, magazines, waste paper or paper bags. You need to flatten boxes before putting them in the container, and make sure you throw only the box into the can and not the plastic wrappers inside the box.

OK, let’s move on to the yellow sacks. Cans, plastic, polystyrene, aluminum, tinplate and “com-posite” materials like beverage cartons made of a mixture of materials should be put in the yellow bags. Empty spray cans also are allowed here. You are not supposed to stuff things together, like the yogurt cup inside the baked beans tin can. Since this junk gets sorted by hand, rinse the cans and cups before throwing them into the trash.

Now you are left with the “other stuff” and bio-logical waste, which is anything destined for the compost heap in a good gardener’s back yard. This includes kitchen scraps, peels, leftover food, coffee filters, tea bags and garden waste.

If you live in a house, you probably will have a separate brown can for this waste. The end result

of bio recycling is either energy through the natural fermenting gasses, which is captured and utilized, or garden compost. So this is good stuff to recycle though it may stink at times. Good news is that the brown cans get emptied more often during the sum-mer months.

If you own no separate brown can and you don’t feel like farming a personal compost heap, you can throw the bio stuff into your gray household waste bin, including ashes, cigarette butts, old household objects like frying pans, textiles and nylon stock-ings, diapers, tissues, and other hygiene items. Everything in the gray cans eventually gets burned.

Now that you know where everything goes, you need only to know when to put the right can or bag out for collection. On designated days for garbage collection, remember to find which gar-bage can to put out. Easy method: wait until your German neighbors roll out their bins then match their color(s)! Despite the extra effort and diligence required for successful recycling, it provides a sense

of pride that you actually mastered the German recycling system!

Even more solutions to recyclingThen, we have the problem of “hazardous” waste.

This kind of waste includes florescent bulbs, batter-ies and acids, cans of old paint, thinners, adhesives, corrosives, and insecticides – stuff that must be treated as dangerous. Such hazardous waste can’t end up in the other trash cans because it can release dangerous gasses when incinerated.

Be aware of bulletins from the local government about pick up times for such materials. Usually, a truck will show up for a special collection, so you’ll need to bring the stuff to that central point. However, you can deposit batteries safely at a local grocery store (Aldi or Penny) or a large shopping market such as Globus or Kaufland. Look for the

As shown, the three trash containers are marked with the kind of waste to deposit into the correct can. The yellow bags clearly show in pictures and words on the front what should and should not be deposited. Watching the German neighbors on trash day usually helps to determine which can to set on the curb.

specially marked box or bin, or show the clerk the dead batteries and ask for the disposal box.

If you just don’t know where or when to dump something and you’re sure no one will want to buy it at a local “Flohmarkt,” or flea market, look for times to place it on the curb for

pick up. Such materials might include an old sofa, the ripped-out kitchen sink, chairs or extra lumber from your renewal project. Don’t worry that you’re dumping stuff on the street because, in reality, most of the stuff set out this way is scarfed up by collectors who drive around neighborhoods look-ing to fill their vans before the munici-

pal trucks arrive.Yeah, all of this sorting means extra

work. Think of it as your small contri-bution to saving the world as you pre-vent garbage rather than create it. Try shopping at the local German markets with a small basket in hand, take one of the commissary cloth bags and avoid buying food in heavy packaging.

Also, pack food in reusable contain-ers for the fridge; look for the Green Dot on products since the producers pay a recycling fee to help fund the program.

Before long, you’ll fit right in with the Germans as they treasure their countryside, their country and our planet.

If you take Parisian street cafe flair and mix it with the coziness of a small German timber-framed town, you get Wissenbourg. This petit French vil-lage situated at the foot of the Vogese National Park is located south toward Karlsruhe, and a little over an hour away from Kaiserslautern. It belongs to the border region of France and Germany, the Alsace, which has developed its unique mixture of both cultures.

Wissenbourg offers all that a holi-day destination needs. Especially in springtime, it is a fabulous getaway for a day or two. Visitors can stroll through little streets along medieval houses, flowery parks and the Lauter rivulet. Another way to relax is to enjoy a hot drink in one of the street cafes on Rue de Marché aux Poissons and Rue National, or to try the regional special-ties like Tarte Flambee, a dish made from a thin layer of pastry topped with sour cream, onions and bacon.

Built of the relics of a 7th century Benedictine monastery, Wissembourg — or Weißenburg as it reads on the German road sign — is a place of great architectural interest. Right in the middle of the town, you can see the abbey of Saint Pierre et Paul.

This edifice is the second largest gothic church in the Alsatian region with a Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century and amazing glass panes dating back to the 1400s.

In the adjacent parks, visitors can detect parts of the former fortifica-tion. Also noteworthy is the Maison du Sel with its unusual terrace-like roof. At Quai Amselmann visitors will find beautiful mansions like Maison Vogelsberger with Renaissance portals.

Despite its size, Wissembourg is always great for a shopping trip. Every Saturday morning, the market with regional food and arts and crafts takes place on Place de la Republique. Lovers of interior decoration will enjoy strolling through Le Jardin de Stanislas (Rue Stanislas), for example. Go for a sweet treat at La Boite a

Biscuit (40 Rue Nationale) or choco-late manufacturer Daniel Rebert (7, Place du Marché aux Choux).

A mini train takes visitors on a 45-minute ride through the town. It departs at the Place de la Republique and includes guided tours in French, German, Dutch and English.

Starting today and ending in May, the train runs from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday through Sundays. Beginning June 1, the tour is offered daily. Tickets are

available at the departure location and cost €3 for children 6 to 14 years old and €5.50 for adults.

For more information, e-mail [email protected].

Wissembourg is perfect for a relax-ing and enjoyable day out, but if you are planning on staying longer, include a visit to the Vogese National Park or even bring lots of time for Strasbourg. For details, visit www.tourisme-alsace.com/en/.

Discover the hidden gems of Idar-ObersteinStory and photos by A.L. ShaffContributing writer

Long ago, the villages of Idar and Oberstein fused into one gem of a city that became famous around the

world for producing masterpieces from the raw ores.

As explorers found ever-more fascinating gemstones in Africa, the Americas, and even Asia, Idar-Oberstein turned itself from mining to importing then cutting and finishing the stones into high-quality jewelry and artifacts.

Two museums, the German Gem Museum in Idar and the Oberstein Museum in the partner town, give visitors fascinating looks at the past and the beautiful finished products of the master crafts-men who toiled in almost unbearable conditions. But the city provides far more than museums and jewelry.

Cut deep into a sheer cliff, the “Felsenkirche,” or Church in the Rock, requires a short walk up the steps from the town square that lead to a tiny chapel built upon a legend.

Folklore tells of two brothers who loved the same princess, one openly and the other in secrecy.

When the older lover went off the fight in battles, his brother declared his affections for the princess and they married.

When the warring brother came home and discovered the treachery, he slew his kin in a rage. Then, repentant for his sin, he vowed to build a church in the brother’s memory.

Once the church was finished, a small spring began to bubble up in the middle of the floor, and it still runs today. High over the city stands Burg Oberstein, reachable by many steps that pass the tiny church or by car along a circuitous road outside the town.

Though much of the castle was destroyed by fire in 1855, the greater part still stands with a weapons hall, a large culture hall, the Lion’s Cellar, a small gallery room and the entire inner courtyard.

Most of these rooms can be rented out for special affairs, and a Middle Ages Fortress Fest takes place each third weekend in May (May 22 to 23 this year.)

Burg Oberstein also hosts a thriv-ing summer theater program and a renowned romantic Christmas market. Entrance to the fortress is free but donations are welcome.

From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 27 to 29, the town will hold “Mineral World Idar-Oberstein” for traders and collec-tors to display their treasures in the city center and walking passage.

The most famous food offering associated with the Idar-Oberstein area is Speisbraten, a dish made typically with marinated pork or beef roasted on spike over beefwood flames and served with grated white radish salad and potatoes.

The open secret of marinating Spiesbraten involves just the right amount of chopped onion and special herbs.

The old town square features sev-eral excellent restaurants that offer Spiesbraten or other German varieties at outdoor venues.

Idar-Oberstein once was a part of the Baumholder military community with a storage base about 10 miles away and an artillery unit kaserne that closed in 2008.

A perfect day trip, Idar-Oberstein offers good food, old Germany atmo-sphere, a fortress on a hill, and two museums full of history and beauty surrounding jewels and gems.

The GPS setting is Idar-Oberstein 55743, which is only 46 miles from Kaiserslautern up autobahn A62.

PHOTOS CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:

Housed in a former mansion of a gem company owner, The German Gem Museum in Idar offers three floors of brilliantly crafted gem artifacts, as well as history of the Idar-Oberstein mining industry.  From raw materials to finished mas-terpieces, the museum gives life to the labors of the miners who worked deep below the Earth hundreds of years ago.

Oberstein dominates the twin towns and the Idar-Oberstein Valley. To reach the ruins of the former fortress, a visitor must climb a long stretch of steps from Oberstein village then pass the Church in the Cliff. But the view allows a grand panorama of both towns and the sur-rounding area.

A mural  of German gem workers in the Idar-Oberstein Museum shows how workers lay on their stomachs while working the machinery that polished raw rock into gems.  Other dis-plays show how miners labored underground on their hands and knees or stooped in nar-row wet tunnels to extract tons of ore that could relinquish a few ounces of workable gem stones. 

Almost impossible to imagine today, men once sprawled stomach down on these wooden work stations and held stones out to the spin-ning grinders in front of them. Using authentic machinery of the time, Idar-Oberstein’s work-ing model of a gem polisher’s work place spins with pulleys and flows with water as it did when the gem trade was at its height over a century and a half ago.

Do you need to get away?Being stationed in Germany has some of the great-

est perks, such as excellent food, beautiful countryside and long weekends to enjoy it all. To some, trying to

decide on a place to visit on these weekends can seem a bit daunting, but here is a list of a few destinations within no more than a few hours' drive from the KMC.

Luxembourg is a small country approximately 45 minutes away from Trier.

Luxembourg is a great place to visit as a day trip. Luxembourg has four must see museums: The National Museum of History and Art, the Luxembourg City History Museum, the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art and the National Museum of Military History.

After visiting these museums, end your day on a somber note at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial, where General S. Patton is buried. The cemetery is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Just 65 kilometers to the west of Kaiserslautern stands the giant CORA shopping center with great glimpses of the French and Belgian societies.

Oh, and really great prices on cheeses, fresh seafood, and French wines.

On Saturdays, local producers of Alsatian and other wines offer samples.

The immense cheese counter also offers to cut sample slices of almost any cheese.

A most enjoyable way to learn about a foreign society involves wandering the supermarkets to see what they eat, how they pre-pare that food and what they call everything, literally “from soup to nuts.”

To get there, take autobahn A6 across the border, then toward Metz on the E50/E320 and watch for CORA signs on the outskirts of Forbach about 10 minutes past Saarbrücken and right by the autobahn.

GPS address: Avenue de l’Europe, 57602 Forbach, France.

Imagine sitting outside the oldest Gasthaus in Germany surrounded by wood-timbered houses from the Middle Ages and saying to yourself, “Man, I always dreamed Germany would be like this!”

It’s not a dream, but a real-ity in Miltenberg am Main, just two hours by car across some of the most beautiful countryside in Germany.

Miltenberg is nestled in the northwest corner of Bavaria, just south of Frankfurt.

The town straddles the Main River, so visitors can enjoy a river cruise in a day’s activi-ties. The Main offers more picturesque villages than the Rhine and a less-industrial, slower fl ow free of commercial-ism.

Expect good food, good beer, and relaxing weekends fi lled with calm.

Set the GPS for Rathaus, Engelplatz 69, 63897 Miltenberg and enjoy.

Up a narrow valley reach-able only by a two lane road, the tiny village of Falkenstein hides in almost idyllic seclusion. Getting there provides as much of the adventure as enjoying the crumbling ruins that overlook the town.

Drive about 40 kilometers from Ramstein/Kaiserslautern up auto-bahn A6, then take the B48 until Winnweiller, then through the town and turn toward Imsbach on L392.

Drive 1.2 lilometers and turn on the narrow road (K37) that wanders into Falkenstein.

The village feels like a lost world of long ago as the road widens to a perfectly preserved farm “dorf” overshadowed by ancient ruins. In stark contrast to the aged buildings surround-ing it, the town’s modern church resembles a miniature cathedral reaching to touch the heavens. Good food at the restaurant just a few steps from the burg ruins caps a perfect day’s trip.

Set the GPS for 67808 Falkenstein.

On the fi rst of June each year, Freinsheim on the Romantic Rhine Wine Road holds its Old Town Festival with intricate cul-tural performances occurring in the marketplace. A typical town that went back and forth between Bavarians, French, knights and bishops, Freinsheim has absorbed a little of each culture then mixed all to make its own fascinating personality.

Surrounded by an ancient city wall that remains almost totally intact, the village of 5,000 knows how to present lavish festivals to celebrate their most important product — wine! However, the town remains the seat of fruit growing while it slowly becomes an ever more famous wine grow-ing center.

So, of course, the burgers of the historic old town must hold seasonal festivals to celebrate both harvests with guests!

Set the GPS to 67251 Freinsheim.

Spring has sprung, Summer will come and the hordes of visitors will start to arrive.

Everyone will ask first for a castle visit then a cruise on the Rhine River. Here’s a primer on how to accom-plish both in three different success-ful way and fulfill all requests as the perfect host.

The simplest way involves your friendly United Service Organizations, which runs bus tours that include the bus, tour leader, the visit to Rheinstein Castle near Bingen am Rhein, and the cruise from St. Goar to Assmanshausen. After lunch, followed by wine tasting and a chance to buy sampled wines, the bus drops you in Rudesheim for walking and shopping (plus a chance to sample the famous Rudesheimer Kaffe.) The bus safely brings you home by 8 p.m. and the trip costs around $89.

Or, for those who want more memories with their families, you can plan a parallel trip by car. A two hour drive on the autobahn brings you to Bingen. Once there, drive through Bingen toward St. Goar for 3.5 kilometers and park on the left. Burg Rheinstein stands high above the river with majestic views of the entire valley. Frau Hecher, mistress of the castle, gives a short talk before inviting you to tour the refurbished and redecorated castle (€4.50).

Return down the steep hill, and drive north to

St. Goar to catch the car ferry that crosses to St. Goarshausen on the east shore. Drive to Assmanshausen for lunch at Restaurant zum Anker on the main drag. This place invites you to sit in a barrel and sip a glass of local wine.

From either Assmanshausen or Ruedesheim, take a two-hour KD cruise ship down the river in

the direction of Koblenz. This stretch of the Rhine takes you past the legendary Lorelei cliffs, the Mouse Tower and ruins of many fortresses over-looking the valley. Prices will vary by length of the trip, so restrict yourself two hours, then return to Rudesheim for shopping and dinner.

The Drosselgasse in Rudesheim presents one of the most famous tourist walks in Germany with wine shops and restaurants lining each side. Carved wooden facades on the shops depict scenes from the vineyards above the town. Rudesheim also offers a museum dedicated to musical toys and mechanical music boxes of all sizes.

The most famous drink on the Rhine (other than fine wines) is Rudesheimer Kaffee, which servers make at the table by dropping sugars cube in the bottom of specially made cups, pouring in Asbach-Uralt, the strong local brandy, and lighting it. The

server pours in hot coffee, which con-tinues to flame, then adds whipped cream and chocolate flakes over the whole concoction. Asbach Uralt dis-tillers mix 17 different wines then age it for three years to create their signal “Soul of Wine.”

High on the hills above the town, the mighty statue of Germania domi-nates the Rhine Valley. Built after the Franco-Prussian War, the massive statue once bore the name “Wach am Rhein” but now is called by the non-descript title Niederwald Denkmal (Lower Forest Memorial), denoting its location. Visitors can reach the

statue by 45 minute walk, by cable car from Rudesheim or by car.

From Rudesheim, drive back toward Mainz, then intersect the autobahn toward Kaiserslautern and zip home in two hours.

Important hint: Avoid weekends because the crowds get brutal. Instead, take off a day to build memories with family and friends.

A third way to fulfill your visitors’ Rhine River wishes (while you work) involves hiring a private guide for a one- or two-day trip that includes trans-portation, a German-speaking American guide with experience at Burg Rheinstein, the cruise ship, and the best sights. The guide can also arrange over-night accommodations and suggest walking tours and purchases.

For more information, call B. Mack at 06371-946-084.

“This spring I plan to take a motorcycle trip down to Garmisch with a small, multi-service group. There, we’re meeting up with a much larger group and we’ll ride together to several destinations.”

Tech. Sgt. Raymond Craig569th USFPS, Vogelweh

“My family is coming from the states in the spring so we plan to attend the tulip festival in Amsterdam.”

Staff Sgt. Jeremy McFallRamstein

“We’re looking forward to seeing Brussels again and we plan to go to Paris. We’re really looking forward to Camp Darby down in Italy with Pisa and a side trip to Cinque Terra.”

One of the great benefits of being stationed in Germany is its central location that allows easy auto, train and plane travel to almost every country in Europe (and some in Asia).

So, we wondered: Have you started planning any trips for the spring?

“We’re PCSing in August, but we want to travel before we leave, so we’re looking at our last five trips, including Holland for the tulips, Normandy, France, the Alsace just across the border, Pisa and Florence.”

“I’m actually going to Berlin this spring to see the indoor rain forest. Other than that, my family and I will try to see as much as possible before we PCS in June.”

“I’d like to get back to Prague, only this time with my family. I spent some time in East Bohemia at Pardubice, so that would be a good place to show them as well. Prague is a really great city to visit.”

“Now that spring has arrived, have you made plans to travel and see more of Europe?”

Story and photos by A.L. ShaffContributing writer

Possibly the most recognized and unvisited castle ruins in Southern Germany stand just east of Kaiserslautern

high above the German Wine Road. As Americans drive to or from

Mannheim or Heidelberg on autobahn A6, they see the remains of Burg Leiningen, once one of the most pow-erful fortresses in the area, then they tuck the vision in their memories for a “someday” visit. For a few minutes, they wonder how to get there and what they’ll find when they arrive.

Most don’t know they’ll find Neu Leiningen (also written Neuleiningen), a tiny village hanging on a hillside with streets as narrow as alleys lined with half-timbered buildings dating back to 1312, and they’ll find fabu-lous restaurants serving regional spe-cialties with prices that range from ridiculously cheap to wildly expen-sive. And, they’ll encounter one of the oldest vintners in Germany with

a wine-tasting cellar offering fine wines for very reasonable prices. Mostly, they’ll find the heart of Germany.

Named the most pic-turesque small town on the German Wine Road, Neu Leningen once served as the center of Leiningenland with the Duke of Leiningen rul-ing from the burg (for-tress) at the top of the hill. The four towers of the town wall still stand, but the fortress exists only as a shell of its glo-rious past.

Festivals and theater productions now take place in the center court where knights and warriors in metal armor once ruled. The burg muse-um documents hundreds of years of history.

A curious optical illusion occurs in the middle of the burg’s courtyard. When visitors stand near the entrance,

they see a heart on the remains of one fortress wall, seemingly dug into the stones by can-non fire.

As the tourists move further toward the cen-ter, the heart seems to disappear as only ugly scars show the ripped away parts of the wall.

The Ruttger family has produced wine in this vil-lage since 1643, and they have built a rustic wine-tasting cellar under one of the oldest buildings.

For small groups, they also offer their

Wein Lädchen, a room lined with boxes of wine of every variety grown in Germany and Ruttger’s versions of wine from surrounding lands.

A gracious hostess will open nearly any bottle in their assortment for tast-ing. The dry (trocken) Riesling Classic is a particularly good buy, as is their halb-trocken Dornfelder (red wine).

Enjoying Neu Leiningen takes at least a day of wandering the streets, wine tasting and visiting the burg with its museum, all wrapped up with a wild game dinner at Restaurant zum Engle or fresh asparagus on the patio at BurgGraf von Leiningen in a pub room filled with antiques and a warm-ing hearth.

For anniversaries or special occa-sions, the 4-star Der Alte Pfarrerei (old priests residence) specializes in lavish, romantic four and five course menus.

A little hard to find on the narrow roads that wind through tiny farm vil-lages, Neu Leiningen is best found with a GPS set for Mittelgasse 56, 67271 Neuleiningen.

As spring warms the land and provides opportunities for members of the KMC to discover places that amaze and amuse on short trips, Neu Leiningem should top the list.

No longer will it remain that “someday” trip, but become a real-ity worth many return trips with family and friends looking for the per-fect German experience.

FAR LEFT: This reconstructed tower of the old Neu Leiningen fortress contains the town’s museum and history of the royal pottery and porcelain factory. In the rounded cellar of the tower, visitors can find a restaurant that serves regional selections for candlelit dinners. MIDDLE LEFT: Typical of almost every building in Neu Leingingen, this structure has served many purposes over the years with each inhabitant remodeling and adding new parts, new sections, but always with the old designs. MIDDLE RIGHT: Now a four-star upscale restaurant, the Alte Pfarrey (Old Priests Residence) once housed the monks and priests who worked in the vineyards and served the village church on the other end of town. FAR RIGHT: The main room of the zum BurgGraf von Leiningen restaurant fulfills every tourist’s dreams of the perfect German Gasthaus with a large tile stove and antiques all around.

Solutions to the April 15 puzzle

Puzzle courtesy of http://thinks.com/

Rio (PG) — From the mak-ers of the hit “Ice Age” series comes “Rio,” a comedy adven-ture about taking a walk on the wild side.

Blu is a domesticated Macaw who never learned to fly, liv-ing a comfortable life with his owner and best friend Linda in the small town of Moose Lake, Minn. Blu and Linda think he’s the last of his kind, but when they learn about another Macaw who lives in Rio de Janeiro, they head to the faraway and exotic land to find Jewel, Blu’s female counterpart.

Not long after they arrive, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers.

With the help of street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes.

Now, with his new friends by his side, Blu will have to find the courage to learn to fly, thwart the kidnappers who are hot on their trail, and return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had.

Starring Leslie Mann and Karen Disher.

Just Go With It (PG-13) — In “Just Go With It,” a plas-tic surgeon, romancing a much

younger schoolteacher, enlists his loyal assis-tant to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife in order to cover up a careless lie.

When more lies backfire, the assistant’s kids become involved, and everyone heads off for a weekend in Hawaii that will change all their lives.

Starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
