Jewish Frankfurt



Frankfurt is one of the four largest Jewish communities in Germany




Jewish Museum



...and developed over the centuries into a center of Jewish learning, with famous rabbis whose legal authority was respected far beyond the confines of the community.

Jews have lived in Frankfurt continuously for nearly 900 years, longer than in any other German city. They worked as merchants, bankers, politicians, philanthropists, artists and scientists. In 1949, after the National Socialist devastation, the Jewish community was re-established and played an important role in the economic development of the city. 




My Partner Guide, Barbara and myself will be happy to show you the Jewish Frankfurt.
She is very experienced and knowledgable to this sensitive subject.

We will get to the SHUM cities (Speyer, Worms & Mainz) in another blog!

Rhein River Cruise

Rheingau, Rüdesheim and the Vineyards


Rhein River


Taking a boat trip along the river 'Rhein' starting in Rüdesheim, is one of my favorite tours given in summer time.

We drove from Frankfurt to the city of Rüdesheim in the Rheingau valley to take a stroll through the village before we get on our boat to start the 'Burgen-Tour' castle tour for about 1,5 hours.



Burg Rheinstein

If you are interested in the marvelous history of german castles, this is the perfect river cruise along many beautiful sights of historical castles and vine valley of Rheingau.

We cruised along Burg Rheinstein, which is also open for visitors to take a castle tour.
