Finding tickets for the Hessentag events on eBay

A ticket billboard in OberurselFor the past half year, most of the advertising for the Hessentag in Oberursel has concentrated on the big name acts and the concerts that visitors need to buy tickets for.  There are posters all over the town and often three or more for the same concert on the same billboard!

Whilst I personally feel that there is a lot more to the Hessentag than just those concerts and that this has been neglected until the full programme came out a few days ago, there is no escaping the fact that many people are coming to Oberursel especially to see people like Bryan Adams, the Scorpions and Roxette.

How to get to the doctor during the Hessentag

Those that were present at an information evening in the Stadthalle last December will also have heard one of the doctors who has a surgery in the centre of Oberursel ask how his patients are meant to get there.

Oberursel, Tor zum Taunus – the Hessentag song

“Oberursel, Tor zum Taunus” is the Hessentag song performed by local singer Chris Malu.  The title literally means “Oberursel, gate to the Taunus”.

The song, in typical German Schlager style, celebrates the “Orschelers'” – as the locals are known – love of the town and its festivals – the carnival and the Brunnenfest, with the Hessentag the latest addition.

To hear a clip from the song, visit Amazon.de where there is a preview available and the song can be purchased as an MP3 download.

Chris Malu will be performing at the Hessentag on Tuesday, 14th June at 6.30pm on the Süwag stage in the Rushmoor park.
