Germany Pt 10: Idar-Oberstein
Idar-Oberstein is a city in the Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. It is The German Capital of Gemstone Industry. The city lies on the Nahe River, in the district of Birkenfeld. It is the largest city in the Hunsrück region of southwest Germany, and has a population of around 35,000.
General History. The towns of Idar and Oberstein belonged to the barons of Daun-Oberstein (who later became the counts of Falkenstein) until 1670. In 1865, both Idar and Oberstein were chartered as cities, and finally in 1933, they united (along with the smaller towns of Algenrodt and Tiefenstein) to form the modern town of Idar-Oberstein.
The Felsenkirche, aka the Church of the Rock, and two ruined medieval castles are perched on the hills above the town, and are, after gemstones and jewelry, the chief tourist attractions in the city. Schloss Oberstein was the site of Tschuess Fest, a festival celebrating German-American friendship. It was held on April 21, 2007 and had over 500 attendees. Additionally, it served as a farewell to the area's two main American socialites, Jason O. Waters, an American energy magnate who is President and Chief Executive Officer of Waters and Waters Energy Services, and John C. Mooney, Waters' chief of staff.
Burg Bosselstein
The German Army's Artillery School (Artillerieschule) is located in Idar-Oberstein. Baumholder, a United States military installation just south of Idar-Oberstein, was once the largest concentration of American combat soldiers outside of the U.S, and a large number of its junior officers live in Idar-Oberstein. Additionally, the small U.S. Army post of Strassburg Kaserne overlooks the city from the suburb of Algenrodt--which was occupied until August 2008 by the 1st Battalion, 94th Field Artillery.
[edit]History of Idar Oberstein as Gem Center
Idar-Oberstein is currently best known as a gemstone center: until recently, until the 18th century the area was a source for agate and jasper. In combination with cheap labour and with cheap energy resources a true gemstone working industry flourished. The river Nahe provided with free water-powered mills that powered the cutting and polishing machines. When resources dried up the area's industry came into decline until a way was found to provide new material to Idar. This occurred in the 19th century when large amounts of Agates were found in Brazil, and German traders were able to ship the Agate nodules back as ballast on empty vessels that had dropped off cargo in Brazil. The cheap Agates were transported to Idar-Oberstein and a new way to create an industry was formed. In combination with their technological knowledge of chemical dyes the industry became bigger than ever at the turn of the 20th century.
After WW II, the region had to redefine itself once more, and the region became a leading hub in the trade of gemstones from Brazil and Africa. That in turn provided local artists with a large selection of material and the region encountered a third boom as a gemstone center. More recently however the competition from Thailand, India have hit the region hard.
[edit]Notable Residents
Bruce Willis was born in Idar-Oberstein in 1955. Count Maxwell Charles Griffin Ford is the current non-reigning Princely Count of Idar-Oberstein.
Since the early 1960s tourism became quite important for Idar-Oberstein. Today one will find many modern facilities like the Steinkaulenberg (a gemstone mine open for visitors) and the Deutsches Edelsteinmuseum (German gemstone museum) as well as many recreational resorts.
Dining
Spießbraten is a dish, typically pork or beef, associated with the area. For many years the town hosted an annual Spießbratenfest. Many restaurants specialize in this marinated steak of beef or pork. It is cooked on an open pit over a wood fire. It is typically served with a salad of grated radish and potatoes also cooked over the fire.

Baumholder Downtown with GoPro
Join me and Hanz on a walk around Baumholder downtown. I mainly created this video in order to test the GoPro Hero Entry Level camera. I decided to make it downtown for a good reason: I always wanted to see what Baumholder looked like before moving here. Over 3 years ago I found out my family and I were going to be moving here. I immediately turned to the internet and Youtube to see what the place looked like. Unfortunately there was little to no videos or good pictures of Baumholder. We ended up moving here without knowing too much what this place looked like. I always thought Jeez, it would have been nice if there was at least one short video to see Baumholder. As I am about to depart from this place, I leave you with this video. I hope it offers some insight to you future travelers. Hope you enjoy.

Running of the Bulls 1969 been there done that
To further document Been there Done that this is my drive down to Spain and running of the bulls.
3 car loads of us drove down to Sitges Spain from Birkenfeld, Germany stopping at Pomplona, Spain for running of the bulls then on down to Sitges, Spain for the beaches.
San Miguel beer 7 cents a bottle there were 8 of us each buying a round, do the math.
Rather set up the 7 man tent we waited, bad idea, when we finally got back to our cars it was pouring down rain so we unzipped the tent on the ground, after trying to match yellow to yellow blue to blue with no flashlight or us with cars slept in them. Then we found out running of the bulls takes place at some ungodly time 7 am, we did not get up until 10. Probably a good thing.
Then continued on to Sitges, Spain that was to be the Daytona of Europe, it was.
