I sometimes travel from Hamburg area to italy, with Deutsche Bahn, carrying my Rennrad with me. https://www.bahn-tickets.com/service/gepaeckservice/ Very interesting, thanks (not exactly the answer to my question, but still very relevant though) It would be very expensive, to italy and back 100eur....

I sometimes travel from Hamburg area to italy, with Deutsche Bahn, carrying my Rennrad with me. So far the bicycle was always disassembled, and bagged, fits nicely in the large luggage area and it has never cause discomfort to anyone. Some of the advantages are 1) no need to spend extra for Fahrradk...

Thanks Panda

How can she has a pension at all if she didn't work?
My wife too is a stay-at-home mum, and therefore we don't expect any German pension for her

Happy today because I just booked the next Cross Country skiing holiday, in the Dolomites, early february.
Bestest activity in the bestest location. Delighted.
The only minus is that I won't have my lovely two with me, they're not into outdoor endurance sport and mountains.

Well, maybe I am getting old and complaining a lot these days, but I have a pet topic at the moment - electricians! Since the end of august we have had the local electricians (based about 100m away as the crow flies) coming and going and fitting solar panels to our roofs. The final panels were fitt...

Sold an item on Kleinanzeige, a bicycle fork. I packet it well, bought the postage / QR code online, making sure I selected exact size and weight, and took it to the nearest DHL where they happily accepted it. Days later the buyer complained he's not got it yet. Days later the item is returned to me...

We continue the journey. Just a little delayed.

ICE from Munich at 18:18 instead of 17:26, will arrive in Pinneberg at 00:53 instead of 23:24.
Pity.
Spending the night in Munich with my teeny, again, and possibly meeting some of the local TT friends, would have been nice.

We're in the train, RJ86 from Italy, maybe 20 min from arrival.

But the big unknown is whether DB will give us hotel, or tell us to continue with a later train and arrive 1:00 am, which unlike original plan is actually the next day

So DB put us in a Hotel in Munich. We had our fun time, including food and drink and music at Kilian, Irish Pub behind Frauenkirche. I`m sure that if you had said so before, half the Munich TT team would have been there with you!!! Maybe next time, huh? "Next time" that I'm forced to spen...

Herbst Schulferien right now, at least here in S-H. Grab the chance to travel to Italy visiting Oma, with lovely teen daughter. So we get to Pinneberg station in time, ready for our 12hr journey (plus overhead, total like 14hr). And even before departure DB announced our Regional got delayed, so we...

Hi Toy Town and welcome back. I currently work as a Process Engineer but do not have an official Engineering degree. I am 25 years working in this industry with the last 5 as Process Engineer. Lots of dead end answers online when I ask this question. Can I get Engineer status from work experience? ...

Here why I'm happy today:

I am always puzzled by questions like this. The market value is, by definition, the value the market is willing to pay for it. So it is not set by the Makler, or by DEKRA, or by the vendor. How much is this property worth to you? If you pay more than that, you're paying too much. Forget what others ...

The guy looks really cute. Love him.

A friends daughter went on school exchange to Canada last year. If she would have stayed the full winter, she would not have gotten credit and would have lost a year. She had another option which was to come back in Feb. which would allow her to complete the school year here without a loss so that ...

I asked this question just now to the school (the German school), and they answered no, she will remain angemeldet here in Germany. That's right, no "abmelden". But her school needs to allow that one year ("Beurlaubung"). And one foundation for the "Beurlaubung" are he...

Her health insurance will cover her with a top up. What do you mean? You mean her Germany KK will cover her health care while she's outside Germany, by us paying a top-up, so there's no need for her to have an health insurance over there? Sounds strange.... I guess the following (but as usual, I'm ...
