Einhard Left Me!
Inside the Einhard’s Basilica in Michelstadt. Built for the chronist of Charlemagne, Einhard abandoned the basilica and transferred his intended burial site to Seligenstadt (his church there housed important relics which made Seligenstadt into a pilgrimage site) thus saving the one in Steinbach from major renovations and thus preserving many of the Carolingian features.

How Doth the Little Busy Bee
How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour, And gather honey all the day From every opening flower!
How doth the lazy man in white Steal honey from the bees, And gathers honey all the day from all the colonies.

All Power to the Children
This colourful mural, or rather a few parts of a mural in an underpass in Frankfurt, was created by children. The writing suggests that at least some of them are not native German speakers, yet their take on children’s rights is powerful:
- I think all rights of children are important.
- Children should not be forced to work.
- I want all children to be able to move, have enough to drink and find new friends.
- Children should go to school.
- For me, it is most important to have fun.
- Children should be protected from war.
- Children should be loved and not ostracised.
- Every child has the right to voice their own opinion.
- Children have the right to a school, a home and enough to eat.
- I think it’s stupid when children are beaten.
- I think it’s important that all children have enough to drink.
- Every child has the right to go to school.
- For me the most important is that all children have a home.
- Children’s rights are similar to laws.
- Children may not be hurt.
- I think that no matter whether you have dark skin or light skin children can go to school.
- Children may not be beaten.
- Children should not fight in a war but go to school.
- I don’t like it when children fight about something.
- All children should have a home.

How Much Does the Vintage Matter to You?
2017 was not an easy year for wine in the Alsace. Frost in spring and a very early harvest resulted in low quantity but good quality. Overall, 2017 was a good vintage.
