Burgaltendorf

I got the idea to search Youtube for “Burgaltendorf”, the part of Essen I grew up in. And lo and behold, there’s a 5 minute TV that shows Burgaltendorf in all of its glory. You might even say that it makes it look a little bit too glorious, only focusing on the idylic and green spots of the town. Still nice to see, even if you don’t speak German. The fortress is just a few minutes from my family’s house, we used to hang out ther a lot and walk the dog through the old moat. The hotel is on the same street as our house, as well – I grew up watching those horses through the window of my old room.
