June 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Local comedian Peter Schuessler (known as “die Schüssel”) appeared on stage at the Markplatz during the Hessentag in Oberursel yesterday.

We were treated to his views on topics such as art, cars, doctors, Ikea, nordic walking, the internet, and especially his favourite football team Eintracht Frankfurt.

The closing highlight was his rendition of “My Way”, sung with localised Oberursel lyrics.
