Was ist los in Franken?

May Day in Germany is rife with old traditions, filled with myths and mysteries, and the celebration of spring.

As winter slowly loses its grip on the Franconian landscape, people are getting ready for spring. The locals follow ancient rituals and celebrate the beginning of the new season with some old and treasured traditions.

Several wild life parks, an aquarium and a large zoo are located close enough to USAG Ansbach for a day trip;  some of the smaller parks are low cost or admission free and make a perfect opportunity for a family outing.

The local German-American friendship club “Outreach-KONTAKT Franken” recently elected board members for 2020; a first planning meeting took place March 10. The biggest change is the permanent move of the regular Stammtisch meetings from Tuesdays to Thursdays.

The advent season and Christmas time in Germany is magical. Typical German seasonal customs make the darkest time of the year shine bright.
