Carol singers in German do not go from house to house before Christmas eve, they do it afterwards instead – specifically between 27th December and 6th January.
During this time, the so-called “Sternsinger”, organised by the local church and who are sometimes translated as “star boys”, go from house to house to collect for a particular good cause using the year’s motto and dressed as the Three Kings.
The money raised this year will mainly be going towards projects to help children in India. With the whole country taking part, it is not unusual to raise over €40 million.
Before they leave they write 20*C+M+B+18 on the door frame, the letters standing for “Christus mansionem benedicat”, or “God protect this house”. [Read more…]
Police in Oberursel were called to the Schulstraße at 23:17 on Tuesday, 16th January, 2018 after reports of a “fountain” following a road traffic accident.
Apparently a vehicle hit a temporary pipe on the pavement that was carrying water to a nearby building site. The driver left the scene of the accident without dealing with the damage, which is estimated to be at around several hundred Euros.
Witnesses reported the pipe had been broken, leaving water spurting several metres up into the air. This was still the case when police arrived.
They were unable to stop the flow, and called for someone from the local waterworks (Stadtwerke) to attend, who subsequently turned off the water to the whole street.
Anyone with information as to who caused the accident is asked to call police in Oberursel on 06171 62400.
