What is your favorite thing or place in Thuringia Germany?

Question

I was just their recently and absolutely loved it. I saw Eisenach Castle where Martin Luther was, Buchenwald and Weimar as another user suggested.

I hear many say how far behind the former East is from the West but what I saw was nearly the same and in some cases newer!!

I want to go back this fall for their Onion Festival or something. What is the German name for it and is it in Weimar, Erfurt or Jena? I was as so many places.

Thanks

Answer 1

Its called the ZWIEBAL MARKT! Or Onion Market. It takes place usually the first weekend of Oct for three days Friday to Sunday and it is a blast too.

Glad you liked it their!!  Weimar is an exception to the rule in the East it was given special treatment for being the cultural city of Europe in 1999 where other parts did not get all these upgrades. So  yes some places are newer but many are still not.

@SHeep Boy you are too funny and obvious, I guess you scared them all away and are back. Guess we will teach you another lesson if needed, go spank some more of them and learn your lesson!

Answer 2

I was there once in the early 90' it was a lot of fun!

I think they have the name correct for Onion Market but I don't speak German so it Look's correct!
