German Christmas Market at a CASTLE in Regensburg! | Trying Kinderpunsch!

[@alexdreher]

Castel St. Emmeram belongs to the Family of the Princess of Thurn and Taxis, and it is definitely a visit worth, inside it is unbelievable. I my eyes nicer than the famos Schloss Neuschwanstein! You need to visit it again for a inside trip! Your so adorable 🥰 I love that you three do so much together and are so in love! Thanks for sharing this happiness!

Regensburg is my very favourite Christmas market! You were sooooo lucky! We usually go there Christmas shopping just before Christmas, in the snow if we‘re lucky! I’m very glad you got to see it!

Hey guys, you're lucky that the Christmas Market was still open. Most are now closed in Germany. Looks really cool. Marissa, you might have tasted blueberry (Heidelbeeren) in your tea. It's sometimes used in Christmas tees. Willa's vocabulary is really growing!

If you're in Germany next year this time (and Corona will allow it) try the Christmas Market in Quedlinburg (Saxony-Anhalt). It's called "Advent in den Höfen" (every Advent Weekend they Open the Gates and Show some Fairytales). The City is a beautiful Medival Town in the Harz Area (also Wernigerode and the Castle are beautiful). Doesn't matter which Season you are going - it's kinda magical 😊

Usually the Christmas tree in the yard is wayyy bigger than it was this year🎄🎄 but turn und taxis is definitely the most beautiful Christkindlmarkt I know. Of course it’s expensive but we go there every year at least two or three times since I’m a baby. We’re lucky that we get entrance for free cause we sing every year at the opening, that’s also why we go there very often😇🙈 Und tschuldigung für mein Englisch haha PS: Next time you should really try the Langosch and the Flammlachs it’s deliciouuus😋

[@howierfs5471]

Yes, thx taking us to this christmas market. I think heaven for Risa to see so many ideas of christmas decorations and also for all of you the specific food offered around this time. Btw, how many different mugs already found their way into your house ? Tanner, as you are always interested also in history do you know about the history of the Thurn and Taxis house and their role in german history ? Poor Willa, dad talks and talks and also take a bite and me ??? Just get an olive only :-D No, as seen Willa had fun as well and you all enjoyed your visit. Well done guys. Have a nice time

I love those cozy Castle type Christmas markets so much...I miss south of Germany. I used to live in Munich when I was 10. The mini Alpaca looked like Taylor Lautner xd as usual a massive thumbs up! Sadly I got diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, so I cant enjoy the Christmas markets the way I would want to but I might be able to do it again properly next year, if I loose a few kilos and I can get rid of it by walking a lot. The way your Videos are shot are so lovely... Hope you have great Holidays!

Tanner your german is getting so good. good job :)

[@-----REDACTED-----]

That looks more like a château or palace than a castle 😮 Edit: oooh Schloss Thurn & Taxis! (Folk etymology has it that Taxi (as in cab) comes from that family: allegedly Franz von Taxis of House Thurn and Taxis - who was Postmaster for Philip of Burgundy in the 16th century - and Franz’s nephew Johann Baptiste von Taxis - who was General Postmaster for the Holy Roman Empire - instituted fast and reliable postal services (mainly for letters but some routes also transported people) across Europe, but that is wrong, ofc! 😂 The etymology actually derives from the taximeter used to calculate the fare.)

[@ccrisDE]

Beautiful !✨✨✨ thanks for this vlog, please show us more Christmas markets 🥰

[@OurStorytoTell]

We'll keep trying to show as much as we can:)

[@Sternblume2]

This looks so beautiful! Christmas markets are not allowed in my state this year. But we will actually go to another state tomorrow and visit the christmas market there. I hope it's good.

[@ursularieger5092]

Very nice location - never heard of that market 😇

[@christiankastorf1427]

In around 1500 the Earl of Thurn and Taxis had a brilliant idea. They would organize a mailcoach service all over the vast area of the Holy Roman Empire. All the emperor had to do was to give them the privilege to do so. I do not know when they started to paint their waggons and coaches bright yellow but that colour for the postal service in German lands goes back to them, as well as that "postal horn" logo.

[@OurStorytoTell]

Interesting! We had wondered what that symbol meant or where it came from.

[@christiankastorf1427]

@@OurStorytoTell Until the 1960s it still looked like a real horn, the Greek postal service still uses a very similar design.

[@HingerlAlois]

Basically this palace has nothing to do with knights, it’s a former monastery that was given to the House of Thurn und Taxis in 1810. It was then turned into a palace in the following decades.

Hi. Love your adventure, wish I were there. Have you considered visiting Oberndorf on the German-Austrian border just north of Saltzburg? This is where the "Silent Night" Chrismas carol originated from.

This type of pizza bread you will find nearly on every Christmas market. I never buy it, because it often looks like the dough is not backed through... I've never been to the Thurn and Taxis palace in Regensburg, though the illuminated facades and setting reminded me of Schwerin. There was a Chrismast market on the main pedestrian street and market square - but a smaller second one in the courtyard of the castle palace.

For ornaments, if you ever see a market stall that advertises being from Lauscha, I's suggest you have a look. The city specializes in making Christmas ornaments all year long. But they focus on baubles and other glass ornaments, not so much wood.

Guys, if you are in Regensburg, you need to visit Strasbourg! It has a great Christmas Market, too (if things haven't changed too much since I was there). Not sure about Covid restrictions for France, but this is the season for visiting Strasbourg/Straßburg (if you haven't already).

[@electronblue8334]

And since you guys are foodies: in Strasbourg, you gotta try Alsatian pizza = Elsässer Flammkuchen. Thin crust, onions and bacon on Crème fraîche.

[@OurStorytoTell]

Oh my 😋😋 sounds amazing!! Thanks for the tips! We haven’t been there yet, but oh boy do we want to go!

[@michaelgrabner8977]

the term "Gröstl" means basically "a mixture of various food things got put together in a pan and got roasted" = that long explanation is what that short term "Gröstl" literally means ;D.... It is usually a lots of potatoes + onions with either pieces of pork roast or with bacon or both... also variations with all different kinds of blood sausages is very common as well..

[@troedelgerry]

Hi there ! Wow, what a beautiful Christmas market... may I suggest another Christmas market to you ? Probably one of the most beautiful in Europe, if not in the world. Try out the Christmas market in Strasbourg, France (directly behind the German / French border in Kehl). It's in the old town of Strasbourg and really worth the long drive. Maybr stay there overnight and also take a look at the cathedral (outside AND inside), your jaw will drop, believe me. Best wishes : Gerry
