No, I only vaguely remember Frankfort and our house on Sebastian-Rinz-Straße. My parents always remembered Regensburg very fondly. My father was in the diplomatic corps so we moved around a good bit. My wife and I raised our sons in one town in Maryland, better for childhood.
From 1952-1962, my four and I were all born in Germany but moved to the US after ten years. 4 Years in Berlin, 4 in Frankfort, 2 in Regensburg. My best friend in high school was Chilean/German. His father had left Berlin in 1935 when Hitler was rising and he moved to Chile. German was my first language but long gone. Hearing that bit about the teacher who would not take on teaching the curriculum and thereby admit to what had happened. Such a bygone time but now we have Trump and DeSantis still trying to do many of the same things.
Interesting. I wonder if you remember much of Germany... Maybe Regensburg? It's a lovely, medieval town... I should day "WAS", who knows what it looks like nowadays. Yes, they try to do the same things. And people follow. I just don't get it.
I only remember a few things from Sebastian Rinz Straße in Frankfurt. My parents spoke so lovingly of Regensburg. Their six years in Berlin was a pressure cooker right before the wall went up in '62.
I bet it must have been a difficult time in Berlin. I visited a few times before I left Germany, last time was '69 maybe. I always loved the city (West, of course) -- there was so much energy and creativity. A fiercely independent spirit. I wonder how much of his is left.
We were all children then but our parents certainly loved it and spoke of their time there with great warmth. My folks loved the Germans and they both spoke perfect German.
i enjoyed your personal stories as always but i didn't quite get the recipe / to make tempeh you start out with tempeh ?? where does the tempeh come from ??
Oh, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear -- the recipe is for store-bought tempeh, not to make it yourself. Go to Trader Joe's, or most any supermarket, and you'll find it with tofu etc. Easier to buy than to make 😉.

Yes, a stable place to call home is good for kids, although I bet you learned a lot being exposed to different cultures and languages etc.
Thanks for that glimpse into that time, very interesting.
Indeed, a most fascinating time. For me personally, but also in general 😉
