A Winter Day in Oberursel
In late January, I had the chance to visit the old part of town in snowy weather. My walk took me from the market square through the Strackgasse, and then back to the U-Bahn station.
At the market square, next to the restaurant Marktweib, you find one of the 40+ fountains of Oberursel.
This must be one of the most photographed views of Oberursel.
The Strackgasse, leading from the market square back into the Vorstadt (commercial area), was rather quiet on that Wednesday morning around 10 o’clock.
The half-timbered houses (German: das Fachwerkhaus) are maintained in very good condition.
When we first arrived in Oberursel in 1995, we were meant to stay for two years… 24 years later, we are happy to stay longer.
