German III: 2.1-2.5
Background:
Described as a Kurort, or "Spa town," Baden-Baden, Germany is known across Europe as a premier place to come to relax and tend to one's overall health. Some people come to one of the thermal baths for medicinal purposes, others merely to be pampered, and some just come to live it up in the city's nightlife at the Baden-Baden casino. Whatever the reason, no visitor will be disappointed. The history behind this city, located within the Black Forest, began with the Romans over 2,000 years ago, and the Roman bath tradition has continued. Romans, who once lived in most of the area west of the Rhine, built elaborate baths, whose ruins are still visited today. The Roman bath ruins in Baden-Baden are located under the Römerplatz in the middle of town and are toured by thousands of people each year. Baden-Baden is a healthy place to visit!
This is an example of an outdoor produce market, which is very common in Germany. Just as some American cities have farmers' markets, many German cities have open-air markets where people can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Although traditional German eating has meat and starch as the focus of a main meal, modern day Germans have a more balanced diet and include a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Nutella is a chocolate and hazelnut spread for bread, used most often at breakfast. Created in the 1940s by the Italian company Ferrero, it has become a favorite of children all over the world, and especially in the German-speaking countries. Italy produces 179,000 tons of Nutella every year. Worldwide Nutella outsells all brands of peanut butter combined.

Fun Facts:
The city of Lüneburg is known as a Luftkurort. That means that the area is known for its pure air quality and pleasant climate. Unlike a typical Kurort, which has clinics and other special facilities, a Luftkurort draws persons who mostly just need to heal or rest and take advantage of what Mother Nature herself has provided.
Located in Northern Germany, the Lüneburger Heide ( Lüneburg Heath) is a breathtaking place to visit. With fields of purple heather amidst green juniper trees on a rolling sandy landscape, it is a perfect place for a long walk in the fresh air. It's not really good for much agricutlure, but beekeepers and shepherds take advantage of this. The Heidehonig is known throughout the country, and the Heidschnucken (a special type of sheep) provide many a specialty in local restaurants.
This well-known folksong by Hermann Löns, the main folk poet from the Lüneburger Heide area, talks about walking in the Heide and its treasure ("bester Schatz"). It contains some of those wonderful tra-la-la nonsense words that are fun to sing.
Auf der Lüneburger Heide, in dem wunderschönen Land ging ich auf und ging ich nieder. Allerlei am Weg ich fand. Valeri, Valera ha ha, und Juheirassa, und Juheirassa, Bester Schatz, bester Schatz, denn du weißt, du weißt es ja.
