wiesbaden @ night during advent - time

Tuesday evening I attended a concert at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden (titled "Christmas in Europe"). A professional choir sang songs from Lithuania, Poland, Spain, France and - of course - Germany. An anchorman read stories about the traditional christmas of each country before we listened to the singing. Famous conductors of Lithuania, Poland and Spain directed the songs of their countries... it was GREAT! But this is actually not the event I want to talk about...

When I approached the building before the concert started I was so impressed - I totally forgot how nice it looks in the dark! I thought it would be cool to show it to some friends, who are not from this area.
I wanted to meet with Antje, Wioletta and Luca on Saturday, anyways, and we had already planned to go to the Wiesbaden Christmas Market, which is not far away from the Kurhaus. I also asked JR and Steve, if they liked to join us. So we met yesterday afternoon at my place.
At the time, we wanted to go, it was raining, so I was a bit disappointed (because I wanted to present "my" town in its best condition...). Anyway, we left at 8.00 p.m. to see the Kurhaus, first. And let me tell you - after we had seen everything we wanted, we went to the Christmas Market. And as soon, as we entered the place, it stopped raining! And again a bad thing (that kind'a long-term-rain) turned out to be a benefit. Why? Usually the Christmas Market is totally crowded on saturday evenings... but people don't like to go out at a rainy evenings. So we had much more space to move and so much fun! See the pictures:
