If there will be enough interest, I am going to organize a trip right after the Leica "One" Challenge through the former GDR, leading to Solms and Wetzlar on Friday. Travelling back home can start from Frankfurt or, together with a trip by train, from Berlin at saturday.

These would be the places for stop overs:
Sunday: Berlin / Potsdam
Monday: Wittenberg (Martin Luther), Wörlitz (UNESCO World Heritage landscape park), Dessau (Bauhaus)
Tuesday: Wolfen (former Agfa / ORWO), Leipzig, Freyburg ("Rotkäppchen"- tradit. sparkling wine factory)
Wendsday: Jena (Carl Zeiss, Jenoptik, Planetarium, Optic museum), Weimar (Goethe & Co), Gotha (Origin of the Royal British Family: Prince Albert grew up here. The Royals changed their name from "Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha" during WW I in "Windsor".
In the evening Films and storage cards will be collected to be developed / printed at request in Eisenach at the CeWe laboratory over night.
Tuesday: Eisenach (UNESCO World Heritage "Wartburg", Exhibition "800 years St. Elizabeth", Automobile Museum in the first BMW production plant)
Friday: LEICA Solms, Wetzlar

Please take this as a first, rough suggestion. I am free for further ideas.
I have asked Olly from the Leica Academy for support. Up to now, the trip will take place with at least 12 persons, then the roughly calculated price will be around 1700E per person

Would be nice to get your feed back in this thread or as PN.

Best regards
Friedhelm

As a TV journalist I worked in most parts of this area for years. I am shure we will get some doors opend which a normal tourist won´t. Look in the archive for the Eisenach and Gotha Meetings I organised last year in January and August.
