Germany "From Berlin to Frankfurt" 2023 (Saale Unstrut, Sachsen, Franken, Württemberg) by ombiasy WineTours took place from Monday, June 19, 2023 to Thursday, June 29, 2023.
Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi at the Semper Opera in Dresden was our last event in Sachsen, and, more generally, the area of the former GDR:

From Sachsen we drove to Franken in Bavaria, which took us a couple of hours. On the way to Franken, we crossed the former border between the Federal Republic of Germany and the GDR, the former Iron Curtain.
We stopped in Mödlareuth and visited the Deutsch-Deutsches Museum in Mödlareuth, Thüringen. We had a basic, local lunch with Bavarian beer at the Turnhallen Gaststätte in Töpen, Bayern.

We experienced recent German history. We saw here how the border between West Germany and the GDR affected people on both sides of the fence. This small town of a population of 50 souls was divided just like Berlin. The tiny river Tannbach became the official border when Germany was divided up into 4 sectors after WW II. Unfortunately the Tannbach river happens to flow just through the middle of town, so one side of the river belonged to the American sector, which later became (together with the French and British sectors) the Federal Republic of Germany, and the other side belonged to the Soviet sector, which eventually became the GDR. In 1952 the GDR started to construct a 3.60 meter-high wall, and watch towers. Until 1989 the divided families could not even greet each other or wave.

No wine for lunch today - only beer.
