the red beret in Germany: Erfurt

September 2012

Erfurt is the capital of Thüringen, a province in Germany (famous for their bratwurst).  It was hardly touched during the Second World War, so much of the architecture is very traditional German.  It was also part of East Germany and some remnants of the GDR days can still be found.  I don't have many pictures, unfortunately, but it was a sweet little town.  A friend and I liked it so much that we went back during fall break.

The Red Beret posing with "Bread," a character from a popular GDR children's program.  Six other characters from this show are scattered all around Erfurt.


The richest hot chocolate ever tasted, and a lavendar praline.
