So many places I would still love to visit, Hanau being one of themThat's cool. My father was stationed in Hanau twenty five years before you (hence my screen name). I last visited Hanau in 1998.

Why? Because of the German architecture and your photos make my point. It is fascinating, regardless where one goes in Germany. Share as many and as often as possible.Really? Why?
Hanau is a blue collar town which had a large US army garrison at one point. I was actually born there as my father was stationed there when I came into the world. Not much really of note in good 'ol Hanau. The Grimm brothers (of the Grimm fairy stories) came from there, and it has some nice parks and a 17th century French style palace, and a river. Winters were cold, summers hot. I've been back a couple of times but more out of nostalgia; I have no family connections with the town otherwise.
Goldsmith Museum.
