One attraction during the Hessentag in Oberursel has been the model of the Eppsteiner Burg in the Adenauer Allee.
The model was made out of 80 tonnes of sand and took the sculptor and his assistants 400 hours to make.

On Tuesday afternoon the local Taunus Zeitung newspaper held a discussion called “Was ist Heimat”?
Taking part were Thomas Gambichler from Dimension Data, Hansjörg Schlegel from Oberursel’s Ausländerbeirat, Gülsah Bayram from the project “Migrants help migrants” and Hilary Peacock, a South African English teacher who lived for many years in Oberursel. The discussion was chaired by Dr. René Heinen from the newspaper’s book division.
