The fountain was built in 1835 (100 yrs before Elvis...LOL). The Hotel was built in 1607 and renovated in 1994. It`s such a joy traveling with you and getting all this information.

Hi Billy, this little town is named "Idstein". Close to Wiesbaden, one of the old, medieval town/ villages in the middle Rhine area and hotspot for us German fans. Nice that you brought this to all the fans in the States. Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work!

Thank you Billy, fab video as ever.
Thankyou so much, nothing but the best. E G.
I just love these kind of video’s, every time a real joy. Thanks Spa Guy!
You'd think these Elvis spots would be signposted by this beautiful city to let visitors know at least. Thanks a million for yet another great video.
Thanks. Yes Tom Creel stood in for Elvis at these sights. I should qualify my comment by saying the Elvis 'movie spots.'
Hi Billy.friends.this is absolutely fantastic.i had butterflies in my tummy.wow this is so special to all us Elvis fans.so so appreciate this my friend.perfect.
Gee...Germany has some very unique colorful buildings. The town looks so quaint and cozy. I would love to visit there someday. Interesting facts you uncovered there too. Elvis' double really looks like him from a distance...I guess that's why he was his double...Ha! Fantastic film footage! Thank you!
These kind of buildings are pretty much everywhere in south and central Germany
thanks for this video look forward to us visiting the sites for ourselfs great footage
Thank you,Spa..as always the tightness continues.!!
Another awesome video! The little town reminds me of something from the Hensel and Gretel story lol. Very cute little place!
Very amazing thanks again enjoying 😊
Brilliant video.
Great vid! I've been there several times. Wiesbaden is a beautiful city.
Hi Spa Guy, I am from upstate New York and last week vacationed in Nashville and Memphis. I am so happy I found your channel. Graceland was wonderful and full of so much history, but your channel takes Elvis history to the next level, with such awesome in-depth study of the places Elvis walked, lived and performed. This is a wonderful resource for fans of Elvis, and I thank you sir for showing us these priceless videos! I can't wait to go back to Memphis knowing all of this special knowledge of Elvis and his journey. Keep the videos coming my friend, they are awesome!
Waouh super la vidéo ! En plus ce n'est pas loin de chez moi 👍
You done it again Spa Guy. Wish Elvis visited Australia. Would have been a double whammy. Seeing Elvis and then catching up with you. Take care. That part of Germany so beautiful. Houses look like doll houses. 🙏🏼
I live in Germany and I can tell you that the most houses in south and central Germany are looking like that
Great Video!!! You sure do a lot of work and travel. .... Thanks Love and Peace !!
Thanks Billy. Oh yes I remember that fountain and the lovely Hansa houses from the movie. What a great little town! I really had to look on a map where Wiesbaden is situated in Germany. Not too far from me actually.
Geez that guy looked like Elvis. Great research and video! I love trains to, I wish you would have went in the train store and filmed....Lol. Great job as always Billy!
Thanks you for the video I really appreciate all the work you put in for us keep up the good work G-man out
Incredible research so fascinating
You told me about this trip.
You made some amazing shots buddy!
You keep history Alive!
Thanks Billy..for sharing another interesting video!..so glad you showed this while you were visiting!.. your friend Bonnie
Cool Spa Guy, that is amazing that you get to travel to all these places and inform us on some great information. Thanks Spa Guy
Thanks Spa Guy! Tighten Up!
Wow thanks for sharing! I wonder what became of his double? What an honor to play him. 😊
Another Great Video Billy ~ Thanks and God bless
beautiful! the colors appear fake it's so picture perfect..
Another fantastic vídeo, Billy. Really Wonderful!!
Like I said 42 years elvis got around, spa guy you know how to get it done, done well👍
Beautiful Wiesbaden Germany ! Yes, reminds me of "Bush Gardens" at Disney World. Brings back memories of Germany for me. I miss the guest houses and food the most of Germany. Thanks for sharing where Elvis' movie, GI Blues, was filmed.
Cool ! Thanks for bringing back the memories of Germany. "GI Blues" is a favorite movie of his for me. "Blue Hawaii" being my favorite. Hope you enjoyed Germany. Maybe see if some of the other actors in the "GI Blues" movie are still around and willing to tell their stories...cool ! Thank you Mr. Spa Guy.
I had deja vu of being at Disney or Bush Gardens several times while in Germany.. Except they were real homes and businesses..
@@SpaGuy
Well, Germany is where all these fairy tales came from. Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, .... So sure it reminded you of Disney XD
Thank you Billy. I appreciate your work. Next place i will visit Idstein. It doesnt matter he wasn't there in person. But it has something, that was in his film. Last weekend i was at the Elvis Festival in Bad Nauheim. Finally the bronze statue was placed on the bridge. Best regards from Germany
Billy you need to start working on a time machine man we I wanna go back and meet Elvis, walking in his shoes is cool 👌
There is a time machine
While travelling around Florida back in the 90's I was staying in a Motel one night and 'Follow That Dream' came on and I watched it. The next week or so I was leaving Florida going north on 98 and after the town Inglis crossed a road called 'Follow That Dream PKWY' I was like...."No It Couldn't Be". I turned around and went east toward the gulf and sure enough there it was ( all overgrown with shrubs and brush) the little bridge where they "Squatted" the land...lol. It was a super fun feeling to just happen across it. I live in AZ now and I know there was a studio east of Apache Junction where Charro to was filmed.
That is Cool Bob, I had planned to film there a few weeks ago but was unable to get away on my trip to Florida but will go film there soon..
Thanks for that spa guy wow
That's so awesome !! Thank you Spa Guy and Ashley Drew !!
This is just as much fun as part one :} !!!! I did like to see all of the locations of the filming . Now I need to see the movie again :}. I dint know about the double ? great info thank you . And God bless :}. !!!
Beautiful Place!! This city reminds me of Helen Ga.
Very interesting video. Shame they didnt have Elvis go back to Germany to film that movie. Have of our own little piece of Elvis history here in Scotland, when he stopped on his way home from Germany, a few miles down the road from me😂
Great job !!!!
@Spa Guy Awesome 👏 Job as always Billy!
Thanks again spa guy for this video great work
“I’m English” hahaha great video man
Very interesting Hal Wallis came to Europe ready to film some supporting scenes for the next Elvis movie obviously believing a lot of people wanted to see Elvis on the silver screen again and investing a sizable sum in pre-production, yet Elvis was always plagued by a fear the public would forget him.
Apparently Elvis movies were guarantee profit which were funding his period movies.
Thanks Billy!
Love your videos
My lovely hometown Idstein ❤️
Great video Billy. I know what you mean-looks like Disney based the Germany pavilion in Epcot on this town. 😉
Very cool.
I was stationed in Wiesbaden and met my wife there... lotsa of Elvis places there I went too also...
Beautiful old German towns !
I'm English lol .. brilliant work thank you .
He will always be The King
Thanks spar guy Richard uk Coventry England take care love
Nice one Billy
I never knew that Billy, 1960s cgi blues : )
My father worked at the motorpool leg of the Americans ... he got to know him and was in army bars with him .. I envy my father
Wow some things never change. Nice work Mr. Billy. Lol!..i don't know what your talking about. What else would you say? Lol thanks again
Elvis was probably standing right where you were at at that fountain saying "Wow This Fountain Is Exactly 100 Years Older Than I Am!"
Bob I thought the same thing until I figured out he was never there..
Thank you sir for that wonderful video so they did the filming but Elvis was never there? Other then his army days ? I love looking at all the old buildings and colors!! Thanks TCB
Elvis was not there in Wiesbaden at all but he was still in Germany when these were shot..
Spa Guy oh ok thanks for that looking forward for more videos!! TCB
my father got a distinction at that time most beautiful v8 engine in the motorpool he is born 1941
Hey Billy have you ever talked to the people in Texas we’re Elvis would go to there house while station at the base there and if you did have you seen the place ?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great video , but the town is Idstein near Wiesbaden !!!!
Consegui entender um pouco. Lindo vídeo.
Gostaria de pedir a você SPA GUY, se possível, fazer um vídeo para nós, com as estátuas do Elvis . Em Gracylandi tem uma, em um restaurante em Túpelo, tem outra. Li em um livro que há estátuas em homenagem a Elvis, espalhadas em praças, em várias partes, em todos os países. Pelo menos algumas. Sou apaixonada por estas homenagens. Vai gravando aos poucos. Sê possível!
Thank you my friend.
The lady is asking... are you from around here ..
🌞👏👍💖
Prior to viewing this video, my understanding was that Elvis continued his regular duties as a jeep driver with a scout platoon of the 32nd Armor and was not even around for any of the film-shooting in Germany. Every shot of Elvis in "G.I. Blues" was filmed at Paramount Pictures studio after his discharge from the Army in March of 1960. PFC T.W. Creel (8-3-1935 to 8-17-2014) of Laurel, Mississippi, was Elvis' double in the Germany filming. I have a picture of Creel but don't know how to post it here.
These shot I filmed were filmed while Elvis was still in Germany but he was still in the army at the time and where these shots were is not far from Bad Nauheim.. I feel they were trying to hold true to Elvis not doing anything while in Europe per the Colonel..
Spa Guy I lived in Mannheim, south of where Elvis lived, when my dad was stationed there in the Army (1956-1960). We actually went to Elvis’ house in Bad Nauheim and saw him standing on the back stoop surrounded by fans - couldn’t get very close but close enough! A second time we drove to Ray Barracks in Freiburg and caught him as he was driving out the main gate. He actually pulled over and obliged us with pictures and autographs! Both incidents occurred in 1959. These were definitely highlights in my life!
President Trump just awarded Elvis the medal of fredem. Amazing 41 years later Elvis is still being honoured for all his work and his service in the army.
P.S.: Comparing Idstein which has its origins in the Middle Ages with Disneyland is like saying that Elvis reminds you of Shawn Klush :)))
LOL.. All I meant was the feeling I got when walking through the town.. It has the same feeling..
The lady in the end asked if you were a local so she could ask you the way probably :-)
I’m confused by this as Elvis filmed GI Blues at paramount studios in the U.S. and he did no filming in Germany, in fact filming started after he had returned to the states. It’s true that Hal Wallis visited Elvis in 1959 to discuss the movie and he did do some background and military footage but Elvis himself did no filming. Although this is very interesting I’m afraid, (unless you know something I don’t) that I don’t think Elvis was at these actual locations in the movie, he may have appeared to be, as you say with a stand in and some post production trickery, but I’m pretty certain he wasn’t.
Did you actually watch this video? if you did you would know the answer to your question..
@@SpaGuy hi, yes I did watch the video and am a big fan of all your Elvis related videos so didn’t mean to offend. I know you explained the use of a stand in but it’s only confirmed in the comments and not in the video that Elvis was never there, and as these videos are following in his footsteps I found it a little confusing that’s all. Anyway keep up the good work, as I say I’m a big fan.
The film was shot entirely in Paramount studios in Hollywood, with the exception of a few scenes filmed in Germany prior to Presley's discharge.
Yes and this video is about those scenes even though Elvis was not in any of them.. You would have learned that if you watched the video..
My mother's first cousin was Elvis' double in this movie. Would love to be able to spot stills of him in the movie. His name was TW Creel
Daniel, I mention Mr Creel in this video.. Email me I would like to know more about him and maybe even speak to the family.. Thanks, Spa Guy billy@thesgnetwork.com
Spa Guy you are up early today thanks for taking us fans down Memory Lane once again
I wonder what the woman was asking you?
My question is .,... Elvis's body dbl is he Still Alive?
Jeannaleemarie, Unfortunately Tom Creel passed away in 2014 at the age of 79.. Spa Guy
Spa Guy Wow you know the Lowdown on the Elvis scenario.
Did you ever check out any of his kin to find out what type of relationship he had with Elvis that would be quite interesting
Thx once again 4 bringing it to us EP Fans we can't get enough! 🤙💕
I found this on the internet - T.W. Creel of Laurel, Mississippi (8-3-1935 to 8-17-2014)
That women said, are you from around here?
if you check out ElvisinHd on youtube you can see video's from the movies with the songs and film
👍👍
Was the scene with the tanks done in front of the hq building in baumholder?
Great video as usual. I'm just a little confused. Are you saying that Elvis was never at these places and it was his double that was used?
Yes Elvis never filmed a scene in Germany but there were scenes in the movie that were filmed in Germany with a double..
Wow! All these years, and I never knew that. Thanks for clearing that up.
wheres the spot he met Prescilla? he met her in a dance hall i think, i dunno i heard where but i forget
Awesome information about Elvis ' s life as it adds another piece of the puzzle. It is so great that you would travel to Germany to check all that out and film the area . It looks very beautiful there. The buildings are just georgious in color and shape. Thanks Spa Guy for all your dedication to Elvis ' s memory and for sharing this video with us. Much appreciation always!!☺👍🎬🎥
His double tighten up and became Elvis lmao
Indeed he did..
Você Guy é um dos maiores fãs de Elvis !
Elvis doesn't have a double there is only 1 Elvis 👍
In this movie he has a double in fact the double Tom Creel was Elvis' double in G.I. Blues, Girls Girls Girls and Fun in Acapulco...
