1. St. Marienkirche

This is a reminder of the problems that the people of East Germany faced in the communist era. The church was bombed in the war and not repaired until the 90's. It is a great example of the North German Gothic style of church architecture and a stunning façade. Inside, it still need lots of work and will probably never see use as a church again. The stained glass windows that were stored in Russia have been replaced in the area behind what was the altar and have a great deal of character for their depiction of both the old and new testaments. This is a good use of an hour or so. The man at the shop inside was very helpful.

a great and easy afternoon out, watching traditional German wildlife. Our kids loved sitting around the ground hog borrows and watching them pop up and run around.

Very interesting building with two sides that are very different as one looks very german with the red brick featured and the other side white with a metal covered tower. You might note that the building is open throughout the day and has very clean and free rest rooms. If you have been drinking water to stay hydrated on your walk around the city relief is here. I was very interested in the fragile look of the decorative design elements on the sides of the towers. Looks like it was remodeled inside after 1990..

This is a very nice walk along the Oder that goes past a war monument ad the concert hall along with the back of the peace church. It is well maintained and represents a good effort on the part of this city to provide a quiet and safe place for people of all ages to congregate and take a strole. For tourists, it is a nice way to travel from the Marienkirche to the concert hall with a little history between. Not a must do but a nice do.

Frankfurt is a surprisingly nice town. There are great views on the River Oder, and it is on the border with Poland. You access there via this bridge, which as well as being a pleasant construction, provides great views of the river, the town of Frankfurt and the opposite town of Slubice. The open border symbolises the new European unity, and Euros are freely accepted in Slubice (a nice place itself) if you want to buy cheap fags, and asparagus at this time of year.

Small town and drive around was easy . The center was nice and you walk to the bridge when you see all Frankfurt.

Der Oder - Neisse - Radweg führt auch durch Frankfurt (Oder). Bin nur mal das Stück durch Frankfurt geradelt. Entlang den Oderwiesen, über den Ziegenwerder bis zur Oderpromenade. Immer schön der Oder entlang, eine sehr schöne und entspannte Radtour. Unterwegs gibt es genug Lokalitäten wo man einen Stopp einlegen kann um sich zu stärken und etwas zu trinken.

Ein sehr schönes Museum zum Leben Kleists. Für Kinder etwas schwerer verdaulich - hier muß man eben etwas mehr erklären. Ein paar schöne Ideen - gerade um den Stil Kleists nahezubringen: Folien mit Satzfragementen, die man übereinander legen kann - um so von dem zentralen Hauptsatz die Nebensätze besser unterscheiden zu können.

Ein klassisches Denkmal für den Klassiker und Romantiker, dessen Stücke wegen ihrer Zeitlosigkeit (z.B. der zerbrochene Krug) noch immer ein großes Publikum haben. Dieser preussische Adlige ist wirklich großer Sohn der Stadt.

Ich höre sie schon wieder: Brauchen wit diese teuren, bunten Figuren? Haben wir nicht genug andere Probleme? Ja, die Stadt braucht solche Farbtupfer, sie hat es in der Entwicklung ohnehin schwer, da braucht man Aufmunterung. Ich finde: Das ist alles ganz gut geklungen.
