Destination: Gelnhausen 

Thanks for the video! My husband (Stan Maxson) was stationed here from 1961 to 1964. Our two oldest children were born here -- well actually born in Frankfurt. I still have my rocking chair (made in Poland) that all of us young moms bought for $8. at the PX. Also have the coo coo clock and other great carvings. Germany was so wonderful to all of us so soon after the war. I miss the castles and much more. Mary Ann Maxson

Ich wohne in der Nähe von Gelnhausen. Danke für das Video über meine Heimat.

This was my first "home away from home." I love this little town where I lived for nearly 2 years while my husband was stationed at Coleman Kaserne in the late 1960's. I still love the town and all the friends that I have made through the years who live there and in the surrounding areas. You know who you are! I still visit there every 2 or 3 years and always feel I am coming home.

My wife, daughter and I visited Gelnhausen in April 2016. Her mother had lived there and she still has relatives there. Beautiful town. We intend to visit Gelnhausen again.

Ein schöner Film vom sehenswerten Gelnhausen

Thank you so much I love this place

Danke für den schönen Städtetrip auf Englisch 👍👍☺️

Ich liebe meine Heimat 😍tolles Video 🙏

I really do enjoy these videos. I'm not much of an outdoors person, so it's nice to be reminded how beautiful Germany can be. Also: This sort of "tourist guide" excuses me hanging out on youtube. After all: I'm learning something, aren't i? ^^ Infotainment they call it. And you do it very well.

My first 10 years of my life…. When I left as a child I was happy to go to the United States, the more I stayed in America, the more I realized how special my hometown was and is. One day, I will visit and reminisce certain areas of the town

Great video, but on the gates the wooden plates where used and built for battle purposes. If the enemy has taken the tower, archers with fire arrows could burn down the wood to attack the enemies inside.

Cool city From Saudi arabia 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

Lindo lugar

Vielen Dank für das Video und wenn ich von Uk nach Deutschland in 3 Jahren umziehe, dann nur wieder in meine Heimatstadt. ;-)

Sehr schönes Video und du hast sogar das Gelnhauser Männchen an der Marienkirche gefunden. :)

it would be nice to have a little map on the first shots of the documentary, which indicates the place roughly. not everyone knows where the büdinger wald and the spessart is located. otherwise a mega informative series, id like you to continute further. you really need a tripod in future for some of these shots ;)

That's interesting, and it sounds very convincing. The only thing that worries me is that this is the only one of Gelnhausen's gates built this way. Is there an explanation for that? If you have a reference, that would be great.

Ein shöner und lehrreicher Film. *****

I worked here in Coleman Barracks army base 1990-93 dental clinic

Das Tor zum Spessart

Haaa you did not mention army life more often

Schreiben wir mal in Deutsch, ist einfacher :D Das Holz wurde auch der Sparsamkeit wegen gebaut, aber eben auch um den Gegner keinen Schutz zu bieten. Eine Erklärung, warum nur der Turm das hat, ist, dass dieser Turm anscheinend älter ist als der andere Turm bzw die anderen Türme. :)

Hast du schonmal in den Simplicissimus reingelesen? Also nichts "vermoderntes"? Ich hatte nach drei Seiten und gerade mal gefühlten fünf Sätzen keine Lust mehr!

Versteh die Kritik völlig. Falls es Sie doch noch interessiert, greifen Sie doch zur (viel gelobten) Neuausgabe von Reinhard Kaiser. Er hat das Deutsch des 17. Jh. ins heutige Deutsch übertragen: In dieser Ausgabe hab ich's gelesen und fand's wirklich richtig interessant. ISBN: 9783821847696. Grüße.

Narrator: you destroyed the video by linking Colin Powell to this beautiful Town.
