First I will start with Wine Week, the biggest(?) wine fest in Germany. It was August 14-23 this year. I only went a few days during the work week (since I was usually gone on the weekends), but it was still plenty crowded during the week. Monday night I met some coworkers there and it was surprisingly crowded for a drizzly Monday night. Thursday and Friday I didn't stay very long at all because it was even more crowded those days.
Market Square
And now more of Wiesbaden from other days the past few weeks.
These pictures are from the Holocaust memorial in Wiesbaden. The wall has listed the names of all the Jewish people from Wiesbaden who died during WWII. It is sad that there are so many names, but I am glad that they are being honored.
On to happier things. Here are a couple more pictures of the "Heathen Wall" left by the Romans
I believe that little building is called the Baker's Fountain, or something like that, it is in the historic city center.
The State Theatre without festival stuff surrounding it
Warmer Damme, the park next to the Theatre
A cool building
A stage behind the casino
Kurpark, the park behind the casino
The back of the casino
And there is still so much of this city I have yet to explore in my three months here (probably has something to do with being gone every weekend). I guess I will just have to come back someday!
