Thank you for the video! Stationed at ledward barracks from 1997-99. Loved that city and people. I will visit there one day. It’s sad they tore my old post down before I could go back. Anyways thanks for the video!

[@WJ6FRadio]

Outstanding video! It brought back so many memories. I was stationed on Conn Barracks from 1987 - 1990. A lot of great memories from Schweinfurt! What is the beeping? It sounds like an amateur radio. Vielen Dank für dieses Video!

[@bryantwhitis1268]

Does anybody knows if Schweinfurt still has the carnival every year in the big empty parking lot behind the polizei station if so what date and month every year lots of fun we had.😊

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

It's called the Schweinfurter Volksfest runs every year except this year due to the covid scare usually in June

[@rcruz2008]

Amazing Video! Thank you so much for sharing. This brought back many feelings and memories I haven't felt in 20 years I got living here. Could you do this same route but in the winter when there is snow? Just an Idea and i would appreciate if done...

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

Unfortunately my friend, I was only there on a visit and would not be able to get back in the winter. But from what I have seen Schweinfurt hasnt been getting a lot of snow recently anyway Cheers

[@WestcliffGoPro]

One thing that stuck out more than anything was the trees. There are loads and loads of trees, even in the towns, very picturesque🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴🌲🌳🌴

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

thanks my friend being a heavy industry town (3 ball bearing factories among others) every tree is cherished for its ability to clean the air cheers

[@abraraslam6654]

I have been there in 87,my brother was there at that time,it's a beautiful place I still remember,

[@bryantwhitis1268]

Talking about old memories the fork in the road with the big sign I remember when the road was paved I was about in 4 th grade if you look to the right you see the top of a apartment complex we lived in the first apt that you see whenever the stadium had a game we heard the cheering and fireworks displays now if you.take that right at that fork back then I don't know about today I'm going back some 40 years ago anyway that right at the fork a hugh big empty parking lot that where a hugh carnival took place every year.

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

glad you enjoyed the ride cheers

[@carolgarcia3368]

alot has change thank you for the video cool ride miss schweinfurt

[@robertstraight6589]

I WAS STATIONED AT CONN BARRACKS FROM 78 TO 81 IN THE 2/64 DO YOU REMEMBER THE TOP TEN BAR WAS IT STILL THERE WHEN YOU WERE THERE WHAT STREET WAS IT ON IF YOU REMEMBER?

[@kpdvw]

Toll! bei 6:27 links die Spenglerei Troester in der Niederwerner Strasse, mein alter Schulfreund Auenschuhle A. Hoehl 1964...! Klaus P. Holladay, Utah, USA seit 1966.

[@kpdvw]

Und bei 16:50 der alte "Kretsche-Arsch"....

[@baddriversofnorthcentralma1594]

7:53- Tisk tisk Idun. :) That's why I've never understood why many European countries don't have controlled intersections where one roadway has right of way over the other. Instead of having a lot of uncontrolled intersections with yield to the right. 11:50- Wow! I'm surprised that actually says "Stop," instead of Halt Nice video Idun! Stay safe!

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

yeah realized it a bit too late these intersections tho are similar to roundabouts and it helps to keep traffic moving, most European drivers hav had 'right priority' instilled since childhood In North America how many drivers actually pay attention and come to a complete stop at regulated intersections or 4 way stops :-) 11:50 this intersection has a difficult view to the right, you are almost half way out before you see traffic approaching from the right now as far as Stop v Halt in many instances they mean the same = to cease (lol) cheers my friend

[@baddriversofnorthcentralma1594]

Idun Valkyrie :)

[@TheZombaslaya]

STOP is an international symbol I think

[@edsferro615]

At 1:02 driving past Conn Barracks the first building on the right first floor window facing the street was my room lol..B co. 1-77AR 2000-2003

[@erichwilliams8136]

Drive around Gardenstaat please .

[@DashcamDrenthe]

Do you live in Germany or just on holiday there past summer?

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

I was born in Schweinfurt but now live in Toronto was in Germany on vacation last year

[@Module79L]

I put Schweinfurt through Google Translator, and after some cutting and mixing, on the other end it came out as Pig Steal. XD 7:55 - Yes I did. Did they honk because they had the ROW or was it because of something else? 11:14 - Eheheh, Opel Astra F Caravan's are still out and about even in Germany. :D 17:58 - Even a 20+ year old Megane and Seat Ibiza. : ) 18:08 - That church on the right looks cool. 18:30 - Lol, your GPS says SW, just like every other license plate. XD That constant beeping of the ACC reminded me of something I heard recently: the EU wants car manufacturers to develop and install on new cars a system that automatically limits the speed and they want it implemented no later than next year. From what I read, it's based on the the ACC's camera to read the speed signs, but the system will be connected to the car's ECU and won't allow the driver to override it. The car won't accelerate beyond the speed limit even if the driver steps on the gas. Cool urban drive, for a change. : )

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

hahaha shows you that google translate isnt all what its cracked up to be :-) did you ever get the correct translation Swine Ford it is almost 1280 years old and has a sordid history, destroyed twice and flipped from Catholicism to Lutheranism and back :-) 7:35 - yes I was already in the intersection whsn I noticed him and had thus taken his RoW 11:14 & 17:59 - Germans tend to look after their stuff and are not inclined to trade up in 2 years - safe to say that is the way in most of Europe 18:08 Heiliger Geist Kirche - Church of the Holy Ghost (Cath) 18:30 you know how these plate numbers are generated - right ?? not too sure if this will fly what happens if the speed signs get damaged (ahem) or covered in snow or mud :-) thanks my friend

[@Module79L]

I did get that translation but it didn't sound right, so I separated "furt" from the word and Goggle suggested it was Romanian for "steal". XD 11:14 - Tell me about it, just look at the amount of relics on my Vehicle Spotting videos! XD I just thought that Germany being a rich country and all, that everybody could afford more recent cars. 18:30 - I have a pretty good idea, yes. I just found the coincidence funny. : ) I'm sure they got that covered. ;D Don't mention it. : )

[@kpdvw]

Wrong; Furt = Ford !

[@msgajhimelret9496]

I was there 2nd / 30th, 3d ID @ Ludwug... Jan 1972 - Dec 1975. Went from E-4 to E-6... Mech Inf.. "Those were the days my friend..." Schwein furt = Schwein is Pig: furt = ford / Crossing... Pig Crossing.

[@jamesbensch6]

12:00 I wonder if that's a law firm. I bet if they are you could surely trust them to get you out of a serious pickle

hey - you are right Auditors Tax Advisers and Lawyers www.pickelundpartner.de/ and hopefully save you some tax €€ be safe

[@jamesbensch6]

Idun Valkyrie lol I'm just going to assume you ignored my terrible dad joke. Better that way XD

[@Idunthevalkyrie]

dad joke ?? or did you mean BAD joke if it is the latter - yes I chose to ignore it LOL cause in german a pickle is a gurken so Gurken and Partner doesnt sound too good but in german a pickel is a pimple go figure :-)
