Beautiful city. I walked all over Hanau when I was stationed in Germany.

[@timothyfletcher3618]

I was station in Hanau and loved everything about the city and Germany. I miss it very much!! The people were so wonderful and friendly!!!

[@spiesonmars]

Thanks for the video - it was great to see the city again. I grew up in Hanau and learnt quite a few historical facts I'd never known before!

[@steel90912]

I was stationed in Hanau from 1982-1984. Very nice city. I just wish I took more photos & visited old town Hanau.

[@xrecix]

[@bustinjimberlake6644]

[@MaxMustermann-hd4hj]

Do you remember 'Cheap Price'?

[@dariendeloatch4337]

mindermine wow you where there almost the same time as me. The street doesn’t ring a bell but it’s been a long time. I’ve been all over beautiful Hanau so I know I’ve must have been around your area. Where you in the military?

[@dariendeloatch4337]

Max Mustermann Not really but if it was the store that sold kinda everything and it was located at the corner of Nurnberger str. My apartment was on the fourth floor above this store. There was also businesses on the 2nd and 3rd floor and a bar that was underground.

[@MaxMustermann-hd4hj]

@@dariendeloatch4337 yeah, they have sold articles from China. It was like a big mobile and Electro store

[@Insight200801]

Serving in the Army and stationed in Hanau I had the delight of living off post for nearly two years. Even though Hanau had the hustle and bustle of many city's of it's type and population it also had it's wonders opened and hidden. Getting from A to B was a cinch. The buses were always on schedule and the taxis were clean and prompt and the trains service delightful. My stay in Hanau was fun and exciting. I would recommend it as a stop and an extended stay.

[@bustinjimberlake6644]

I too was stationed there for 5 years and had a wonderful time. I also lived off post. Cool.

[@HanauMan]

Lived here as an Army brat in the 1970s, many fond memories of Hanau. You missed out the entire US Army military community (now gone) in your film, otherwise an enjoyable trip down memory lane.

[@trishfrench1927]

I miss Germany. My dad was stationed in Gelnhausen 80-83. I went to Hanau American highschool

[@frieda842]

Danke! ♡ Many beautiful memories I have with my family and the military living here in the 90's for nearly 5 years... A great video virtual tour! Bruder Grimm yes! ♡

[@rewboss]

@tavin15 Yes, I had time to plan this one. But I know Hanau well, so that made it easier.

[@Ludmila707]

Prior to I that l was stationed there in the Military. Took a European discharged. Total 11 years over seas. But Hanu was the best little village l learned to love!

[@TheMinot60]

So many old GIs find their way here. I was stationed on Fliegerhorst Kaserne twice in the 80s. I have a Facebook page for 3/59 ADAwith lots of photos of that kaserne from then.

[@cynthiareaves913]

Christmas in Hanau is just breathe taking

[@pigoff123]

I miss all my friends. So many memories. They always say you can never go home

[@pigoff123]

I graduated in the conference center in 1980. I lived in Hanau from 72

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Hey neighbour! You have to make an update about Hanau. The Freiheitsplatz in this form, did no longer exist. There was a lot of construction, since the time you filmed the video. And you should mention, that Hanau is the 6th biggest city of the Hessians. Ahead of likly more well known cities like Giessen, Fulda, or Marburg... Btw. Do you vote on 12.12 ...?

[@tavinorigami]

You really put a lot of thought in this. Did you plan what to film in beforehand?

[@lukas1152]

ich selber wohne in Hanau und die Stadt ist echt schön, wenn man auf dem Marktplatz steht fühlt man sich richtig wohl warum weiß ich nicht :) und schön das man mal die Geschichte seiner Stadt erfährt bis jetzt wusste ich nur das mit den Brüder Grimm

[@theboyjjmc]

Please revisit!

[@np7106]

I love this place

[@Gerd3008]

Thank`s-it`s a really good documentation ! Gerd Spielmann

[@Quasilobo]

The legend says that at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve the two brothers [Grimm] change places. (5:36)

[@Heilige-Bratwurst]

Now Hanau is a beatiful city with a big shopping centre and lots of restaurants, bars and more. It`s fantastic for a day trip :)

[@SoberHusky]

you make great videos, would be great if there were even more from other German cities :)

[@Balligat]

Ein sehr schönes Video - der Schloßgarten und der Ortsteil 'Kesselstadt' mit dem Schloss Philippsruhe werden zwar nicht vorgestellt , aber ansonsten ist es eine präzise Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Punkte zur Stadt. Möglicherweise kommt ja nochmal eine Erweiterung, da wären die Nürnberger Straße als Hauptverkehrsachse des 'modernen' Hanau, und die nordwestlichen Stadtteile inklusive des (restaurierten) alten Karussells ( → de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelmsbader_Karussell → Wilhelmsbad/Hohe Tanne) von Interesse. Es könnte ebenso der Zusammenfluß von Main und Kinzig → de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinzig_(Main) besprochen & gezeigt werden. Main und Kinzig geben dem Kreis den Namen "Main-Kinzig-Kreis" → www.mkk.de/ Die Zufahrt zum Hafengebiet wird heute noch beherrscht von einem (trotz Bombardement stehen gebliebenen) Monumentalbau am Hanauer Hafen (1924), der wie eine große Toreinfahrt gestaltet ist .... Hanau war von meinem 1. bis 16 Lebensjahr meinen Heimat.

[@KevinHP]

Geniales Video und super Musik! Thumbs up. :-)

[@MacMalte]

I hit two times your videos today with total different goals: 1. German for Idiots = Entertaining 2.(more important) searching for my grandparents, which lived in Hanau til 1950.

[@MonicaTheMad]

Very interesting!

[@Diana_composer]

Can somebody tell me where is possible to find this film on German?

[@charlysstore]

well done

[@TzzX78]

@von32897 I was there 1990-93 Budingen Armstrong Kazern

[@funnypig2508]

Interesannt mehr über seine eigene Stadt zu lernen

[@leonardwilsonsr8198]

Never got to see Hanau I was in Budegen 61=62

[@حياتيفيخطرمنالمافيا]

انا لاجيء اتمني ان أسكن في هاناو انها مدينة حلوة هل أحد عنده بيت غرفة واحدة علي الجوسنتر في مدينة هاناو والف شكر علي المساعدة الي كل شخص يساعدني والف شكر الي الشعب الألماني الطيب والي ماما انغيلا ميركل

[@pop96Life]

La visito ogni anno perché ci abita mio zio ed è una città davvero graziosa :)

[@starguard4122]

That marketplace is much smaller now due to new stores that were recently added. There is a very strange part of Hanau's history that the narrator left out. Back in the war, Hanau actually was not intended as a primary target for the allies. The primary target was supposed to be Frankfort. Allied Night Bombers were told to fly until they saw a light on the ground. The Nazis learned of this and ordered all lights out throughout the city. Only problem is that they didn't bother to tell the people in Hanau. Allied bombers looking for Frankfort flew right over the city until they saw lights on the ground from Hanau, and mistakingly bombed it thinking that it was Frankfort. Hanau was originally intended to be preserved for historical reasons but unfortunately things didn't turn out that way. The Allies bombed the wrong city

[@WMHendersonUK]

Unfortunately this is not true and something of an urban myth among local residents. If you read the operational reports from RAF Bomber Command, Hanau was set as the target for this attack, and the goal was to finish the destruction of "built up areas and associated rail facilities and industries" following a raid three days earlier.

[@MartyMcFly1337]

Don't trust the pictures hanau isn't so nice ;) but it's pretty cool to see the places i pass every few days :D

[@friemal]
