Germany Meet Up

[Andrewthecologneguy]

Anyone here in 2022?
Anyone want to meet up somewhere?
Frankfurt maybe?
Oder Zweibrucken?

A little far for me to travel. but wouldn't Cologne be the best place in Germany to meet up?

Why so? It's centrality? or it's name
Willing to drive that far if there is interest

Haha the iconic name! Centrality is relative.

BTW is "Cologne Water" referred to as "Koln Wasser" in German?

Germany based too but far away from both Frankfurt and Köln.

Fragrance 'cologne' as it is used all over the world is the Anglophone way of saying Koln, the German city.
'Echt Kolnisch Wasser' translated Real/Actual Cologne Water is printed on the venerable 4711, so yes, it is a thing, though not colloquially
Now I wonder what other 'things' we utilize day in and out are named purely after cities.

Wieners?

Hamburgers?

Hmm, now I'm starting to wonder if Germany and Austria have a monopoly on this sort of thing.

Don't forget Frankfurt...ers
And a whole slew of other foods...cheeses are especially known for this, was not aware Cheddar is a town in England, Brie is obvious, Gouda (Netherlands) not so much

Hi, I'm quite new to this community. FFM and the Zeil are not that far from where I live.

The Zeil I am familiar with, in Frankfurt right?
