Daisy, Violet And Co.

Since a few days we are back at home. It's nice to be home, but it's nice too, to travel.
It was a very busy time, but a very good time. I met a lot of new people and clients and new clients.

A sad thing at first: unfortunately I didn't have the time to take photos.
Therefore I just can tell you, where we've been.

But the second thing is a good one: fortunately there is the world wide web. So you have the chance, to travel (virtual) with me...

Let's begin with the beautiful city of Leipzig.
Do you remember Leipzig? The City of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989...
More about that later...

The busy part was the The Leipzig Fair - "trade fairs made-to-measure"
The Leipzig Fair is also known as the "mother of all trade fairs" and opened its new exhibition centre in 1996. In 1997 the trade fair celebrated the 500th anniversary of being granted the "Imperial Right to Hold Trade Fairs".

Of course the evenings after the workshops were free and we had the time to discover some parts of the city,
e.g. Auerbachs Cellar
Between 1765 and 1768, Johann Wolfgang Goethe studied in Leipzig. A scene from his celebrated "Faust", "Auerbach's Cellar in Leipzig", made the restaurant world-famous.

e.g. St Nicholas's Church - open to all
Leipzig was the starting point for the events which led to the Peaceful Revolution of 1989. You can visit the original locations of St Nicholas's Church, where after the Prayers for Peace were said, the demonstrations started along Augustusplatz and the central ring road to the headquarters of the secret police (Stasi), part of which has been incorporated into the Museum in the "Round Corner".

e.g. The Old Town Hall
Leipzig's Old Town Hall is one of the most beautiful Renaissance town halls in Germany. It was built between 1556 and 1557 in just nine months.

e.g. Drallewatsch - While the night away and to join Leipzig's original pub crawl.

I just can tell you: if you visit Germany, try to visit Leipzig too. It's worth seeing for the city, for the historical places und buildings, for the shops and particularly for the nice people. We've met very kindly and most helpful people only.

Dear friends. This is my first post since a few weeks. Thank you very much for your patience.
More will come soon; I have to tell you much more. I'm busy now with the postprocessing of the exhibition. Whenever I have time, I try to read your blogs and I'll write some comments.
