    This was so magical. The smaller Christmas markets bring a very special kind of charm. The church was also beautiful. I truly enjoy this kind of Vlogs. I’m heading to Bolzano next week. Also a part of Italy with German and Austrian influence. In fact it’s so much more German than Italian the last time I noticed when I was there. Enjoy Germany both of you. Looking forward to more videos like this. 😊 🥰

Much as I would have loved to bail for a few hours to enjoy a gluehwein with you both, if I had I would have been hung, drawn and quartered... and divorced... That's a lovely video though, you didn't miss out a thing. Great cameo by Casey! 😃👍 You look like you are having a great time, so long may it continue.

    Ah ... home sweet home. How did I miss this video for a month?!?
    Mendelsohn really is to credit for bringing back Bach. He also founded the Leipzig Music College in 1843, making it the oldest such institution in Germany. You showed the monument of him for a second. Fun fact: That monument is a replica. The original was torn down by the Nazis cause - you guessed it - Mendelsohn was jewish. The order to remove it was given by a deputy mayor in the abscence of Leipzig's actual mayor Carl Goerdeler, who resigned in protest and later joinded the conservative/military branch of the german restitance, being involved in the plot of July 20th 1944 and would have become german president in a planned post-Nazi government.
    "Barefoot lane". Weird name, right? It's named after a monastery that was located there in the middle ages. The munks were apparently walking around with bare feet. For some reason...
    Kräppelchen means nothing but Kräppelchen. No hidden meaning there. 😊
    Similar things exist in most of Germany I believe, the names can differ extremely though.
