Café Zugvogel has landed in Oberursel

August 29, 2014 By

If you walk through the Adenaueralle this and next week, you will probably notice the colourful construction trailer parked in the middle of it, where the flea market stands normally are.

The trailer is part of the project “Café Zugvogel” – literally, the migrating bird café- which has been arranged by the centre for advising youths and addiction in Hochtaunuskreis.  After spending two weeks each in Bad Homburg and Kronberg, they are spending the last two weeks of the summer holidays in Oberursel.

From Monday to Friday, 4pm to 9pm, the cocktail bar will be open and the deckchairs out, with the drinks being at cost price.  But what, you may ask, has that to do with addiction and youth advisors? [Read more…]

50 Years of Twinning – Bees, U-Bahn and Birthday Cake

June 7, 2014 By

Saturday (7th June, 2014) was a day of celebration in Oberursel, with 40 guests visiting from the twin town of Epinay-sur-Seine to mark the 50th anniversary of the town twinning.

The day began in the Adenauerallee next to the “Annika fountain” and the cedar tree with a “honey breakfast” and the inauguration of a butineur urbain  – a civic bee hive.

Manfred Belz from the local bee keepers’ club gave a short talk on the importance of the bees in the environment, and on the different types of honey that they produce at different times of the year.

The project is being supported by the grammar school in Oberursel, and will eventually be moved to their grounds.  Financial assistance is being provided by a charity associated with Frankfurt Airport.

Oberursel’s Mayor Hans-Georg Brum, accompanied by Epinay’s Deputy Mayor Patrice Konieczny, said that the twinning still young and active after 50 years, and that sustainability was a key issue for it.  A similar bee-hive was installed last month in Epinay-sur-Seine, and this is seen as a “airlift” connection between the two towns.
