The band “Pillow Fight Club” were performing on the Musikhaus Taunus stage in the Portstraße at the Hessentag this evening.
Whilst waiting for our U-Bahn to arrive, we were able to listen to their new song “Leave this town, Jowell”.

The afternoon saw the official opening of the Hessentag in Oberursel. After 4 years of planning (and roadworks), the day had arrived when the building work stopped and the party began.
The opening took place in the Rushmoor Park, located on one side of the town near to the Maasgrund. Musicians from Stierstadt entertained the crowd during the long hot wait, until the Ministerpräsident of Hesse – Volker Bouffier – arrived with his wife, Ursula, the mayor Oberursel Hans-Georg Brum, Landrat Ulrich Krebs and the Hessentagspaar.

Local bakery “Ruppel” have closed their shop in the pedestrian precinct area of Oberursel for the duration of the Hessentag.
Instead they have set up two stalls in front of the shop, one selling bakery products such as slices of cake (“Blechkuchen”), and the other selling Bratwurst sausages.

Here, as at most stalls, the prices have stayed reasonable. A Bratwurst costs €2.50.
Ruppel’s stalls are every day until 10pm.
