Over 50? It’s time for a colon cancer screening Commentary by Thomas S. Woods Special to the Citizen

I first met Jim Sisler in 2008 while my family was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. My dad worked with Jim at the 3rd Air Support Operations Group there.

A lieutenant colonel, Jim spent his entire life knowing about duty to one’s country. His father, 1st Lt. George K. Sisler, died while serving in Vietnam, earning the Medal of Honor posthumously for his bravery.

In 2010, Jim was about to retire after 20 decorated years in the U.S. Air Force. His retirement represented a great achievement after so many years of service.

However, this great achievement didn’t stop cancer. Jim, like many people, ignored the early symptoms of colon cancer as pre-retirement jitters: nausea, lower-back pain and loss of appetite.

It is easy to put off colon cancer screening with excuses such as “I don’t have time,” or “I don’t have a history of colon cancer.” The truth of the matter is that everyone should get screened at the appropriate age.

Jim now says that while service is noble, we must not forget to take care of ourselves. Do it for yourself and your loved ones. It may save your life.

Colon cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 132,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year and it’s estimated that nearly 50,000 will die from the disease.

Early detection is crucial. Jim ignored most of the early signs, and when he finally sought medical care, he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.

There are many signs that you might have colon cancer: having a “full” feeling, dark or bright red blood in the stool, unexplained chronic tiredness, lower back or belly pain, and bladder pain. Instead of ignoring these signs, make time to ask a medical professional what he or she thinks. A simple medical appointment for Jim may have helped him avoid years of cancer treatments.

A colon cancer screening is one thing people seem to definitely fear, but it is your best defense. The procedure requires some brief, uncomfortable preparation, but with the help of a sedative, the test is frequently painless.

Adults should all be tested for colon cancer at age 50. People with a family history of colon cancer should see their medical professionals about screenings earlier.

A colon cancer screening looks for polyps in the intestine. Since early polyps rarely produce warning signs, it is always best to be screened. Polyps also take five to 10 years to turn into cancer, so, having a polyp removed reduces the chances of getting colon cancer by 90 percent.

One other factor in reducing colon cancer risk is changing one’s lifestyle.

Many American adults are not physically active. Everyone should make time for 60 minutes of physical activity each day beyond the activities of simple daily living. This is crucial for middle-aged adults.

Proper nutrition and diet are important in helping to prevent colon cancer.

Eat a more fiber-rich diet and include foods such as pears, avocados, black beans or whole wheat pastas. It is believed some types of fiber help detoxify potential cancer-causing substances as well as prevent these substances from being absorbed by the cells of the intestines.Try to avoid foods high in sugar and reduce consumption of red meats (beef, veal, game). Small lifestyle adjustments such as this will help in defense against colon cancer.

Remember, colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers.

The reason people do not want to get screened is understandable. My friend Jim regrets putting off the uncomfortable test. In his case, I know he would now choose to prepare overnight for a painless twenty-minute test, over four years of suffering for him and his family.

Colon cancer screening or not? The answer is crystal clear.

Editor’s Notes: Thomas S. Woods is a Boy Scout Troop 154 Eagle Scout candidate. As his Eagle Scout project, he chose colon cancer awareness. Earlier this month he held an awareness event at the Panzer Exchange.

Are You at High Risk?

Your risk for colorectal cancer may be higher than average if: You or a close relative have had colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer.

You have inflammatory bowel disease.

You have a genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer.

People at high risk for colorectal cancer may need earlier or more frequent tests than other people.

Talk to your doctor about when to begin screening and how often you should be tested.

Screening Saves Lives

If you’re 50 or older, getting a colorectal cancer screening test could save your life. Here’s how: Colon Polyp Colorectal cancer usually starts from polyps in the colon or rectum. A polyp is a growth that shouldn’t be there.

Over time, some polyps can turn into cancer.

Screening tests can find polyps, so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

Screening tests also can find colorectal cancer early. When it is found early, the chance of being cured is good. (from www.cdc.gov)

G7 Summit impacts travelers in Garmisch and surrounding areas USAG Bavaria Public Affairs Office

The G7 Summit, an annual meeting of heads of state from seven leading industrial nations, will be held June 7-8 near Klais, Germany, which is about 12 miles from Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

The G7 Summit brings together seven heads of state from Germany, the U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, Japan and Canada. The conference will be held just 20 minutes south of the U.S. Army installation in Garmisch.

There will be very little, if any, lodging available in the GarmischPartenkirchen and Mittenwald communities from June 1-10, including the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort.

Additionally, thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate in downtown Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald in the days leading up to, during and a day or two after the summit, resulting in potential road closures, travel delays and heightened security measures.

Those traveling to the area in the days leading up to, during or shortly after should expect potential road closures, travel delays and heightened security measures.

People who are making vacation plans are encouraged to delay their stay until at least two or three days after the summit ends. Also, U.S. service members, civilian employees, family members and retirees are encouraged to lower their personal profiles if they still plan on visiting the area during the summit timeframe IF you simply can’t change your travel plans, and you’ll be in the area, here’s what you need to know: • Avoid the demonstrations. If you encounter one, move out of the area without delay. They can spontaneously turn violent even with only a few agitators. Stay away from trouble areas that are identified during the G7 Summit through local media and websites. Do

Health Beat: May is Better Speech and Hearing Month

By Tom Helfer, Ph.D., Hearing Conservation Consultant, U.S. Army Public Health Command

There are a number of causes of hearing loss. Some of them involve temporary loss that can be treated with medication or surgery. Others are permanent and not treatable with medication or surgery but may be mitigated with amplification (hearing aids).

The most common type of hearing loss in the military is noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL. NIHL is a permanent type referred to as sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). SNHL is due to damage to microscopic nerve cells in the cochlea, the end organ of hearing. NIHL is painless, progressive, permanent and preventable.

Exposure to steady noise above damage criteria (85 decibels) over a period of years can lead to NIHL. Weapons fire is referred to as impulse noise. Exposure to impulse noise above damage criteria (140 peak decibels) can cause sudden permanent SNHL. This means that firing a few rounds on a range without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

By Army regulation, Soldiers are to be supplied with adequate hearing protection devices suitable for their operational

environment. Soldiers also have freedom of choice as to the types of hearing protecting devices available to them at no charge.

Since September 2006, Soldiers are required to have annual hearing tests for the purpose of monitoring their hearing readiness and maintaining adequate hearing to perform their duties. These hearing tests also produce the outcomes metrics for monitoring progress in hearing loss prevention practice.

Since August 2013 the U.S. Army Public Health Command has posted active duty Army NIHL surveillance reports on their web page. The Active Duty Noise Induced Hearing Injury Reports contain detailed five year data trends and analysis along with a set of summary tables detailing NIHL rates for injury groups such as Army-wide rates compared to DOD, occupation groups, age, gender groups and Army installations grouped by region compared to total Army.

The intent of these surveillance repor ts is to inform commanders

and hearing loss prevention stakeholders of progress in preventing hearing loss.

These reports can be accessed at http:// phc.amedd.army.mil/whatsnew/Pages/ PeriodicPublications.aspx.

To learn more about hearing loss, hearing protection and how annual hearing tests help to keep track of hearing loss rates, visit the Army Hearing Program web page at: http://phc.amedd.army. mil/topics/workplacehealth/hrc/Pages/ RelatedSites.aspx and http://phc.amedd. army.mil/topics/workplacehealth/hrc/ Pages/default.aspx

Ask a JAG: Titling

Help! The Military Police said I was 'titled.' I don’t know what this means.

By the Stuttgart Law Center

If an individual is titled, this means that their name and identifying information have been placed into a criminal investigative report because there is credible information to believe that he or she has committed a criminal offense. It is Department of Defense policy to title and index all individuals under criminal investigation, also known as “subjects.”

A criminal investigative report? What is that?

A criminal investigative report is a document used by agencies like CID or other DOD law enforcement organizations to monitor investigations. These reports are indexed in the Defense Criminal Index of Investigations.

Does “titling” mean I’m going to prison?

No, titling is an administrative procedure and does not mean you have been found guilty of any crime. A guilty finding would require that a court of law find you guilty of committing the crime “beyond a reasonable doubt,” a much higher standard than the “credible evidence” standard used in titling.

“Credible information” is sufficient information to convince a trained criminal investigator to presume that the fact or facts in question are true.

Judicial or adverse action will not be taken solely based upon titling.

Why does the DOD title people?

The purpose of titling is to ensure that information can be retrieved for law enforcement or security purposes in the

future. Titling ensures that subjects, victims and pertinent facts are accurately recorded and lends efficiency to investigations.

What if I believe that I was incorrectly titled?

Even if later found not guilty by a court of law, there are only two ways to remove a name from the Defense Criminal Index of Investigations: • mistaken identity; or • if it is later determined that credible information did not exist at the time of the investigation to believe that the titled individual committed the offense(s) for which he or she was titled.

If you were titled and you believe that one of the two foregoing justifications exists to remove your name, contact your local Legal Assistance Office. However, keep in mind that because “credible information” is not a high standard, titling removal is extremely rare.

Are juveniles titled?

While a juvenile may be titled, in

many instances their identity will be protected. However, simply because one’s identity is protected does not mean that local law enforcement, Congress, or other governmental agencies cannot request investigative records in order to pursue criminal charges or investigate a juvenile offender.

Is titled information publicly available?

While the information is not publicly available, local, state, federal and foreign law enforcement agencies may request access if there is an investigative or law enforcement interest and disclosure is not otherwise prohibited.

For what purpose is titling information used?

Founded investigative reports may be used to adjudicate background checks for security clearances, to determine suitability for sensitive positions such as child care providers, and for the filing of unfavorable information in military personnel files.

Stuttgart Theatre Center wins at annual Toppers ceremony

By Irida Siebentritt Special to the Citizen

Members of the Stuttgart Theatre Center earned 15 nominations and brought home eight awards during the 2015 Tournament of Plays, or Topper, Awards ceremony held April 25 at U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz’s Armstrong Club.

The annual Installation Management Command-Europe award program recognizes the work and achievement of U.S. military theater participants.

The Stuttgart Theatre Center’s production of the musical “Working” was nominated in 11 categories and won for best musical and best ensemble for a musical.

“The Best Ensemble in a Musical Award is something I am very proud of,” said Richard Roberts, the theater center’s artistic director.

“It means that the entire cast worked together, supporting each other. For this show that was an achievement for them, since the show is composed primarily of solo songs and monologues,” he said.

Roberts won for best set design for a musical.

Bryan Mitchell, an active duty Army reservist with U.S. Africa Command, won in the Best Male Military Performance in a Musical category for the role of Tom Patrick, a fireman, in “Working.”

Within one month of arriving in Stuttgart, Mitchell landed the role.

With four years of community theater experience, Mitchell loves what he calls the “art of storytelling” because “… you get to make someone else’s story your own. When the story is so gripping, everyone is quiet and fully engrossed. And that’s when magic happens,” he said.

Like Roberts, Mitchell shares the same thoughts about teamwork.

“What makes theater more than simply acting and entertaining are the bonds that we form with the other actors,” he said.

“Her Stories,” nominated for best play, is based on the book of the same title by Virginia Hamilton. The collection of African and Caribbean folk tales was so rich in content that Holloway, a Marine spouse, writer and director, was inspired to turn it into a play.

The two-act play was performed at the Kelley Theatre during U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart’s observation of Black History Month in February.

Initially, the play contained no music elements. Holloway came up

with the idea of adding original music to it. She approached Christopher Mazen, a local choir director, and together they worked on creating three songs for the play.

Holloway and Mazen received special Judges’ Choice Topper awards for their efforts.

Alan Buxkemper, the Stuttgart Entertainment Branch director, worked on both award-winning productions, as the musical director for “Working” and as sound designer for “Her Stories.”

Buxkemper, who has been with the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation program since 1989 won Topper awards for best instrumentalist (“Working”) and best sound design for a play (“Her Stories”).

While winning may be gratifying, building a community is the goal, according to Buxkemper.

“The staff here is not about winning awards. We are here to provide an outlet for talented community members to be involved in a program where they can grow as performers, meet people with common interests, and come together … to offer a part of American culture … where Englishspeaking theater is hard to find.”

Three years, two partner nations, one mission

By Master Sgt. Charles D. Larkin, USAF United States European Command

Three years ago, United States European Command (EUCOM) consolidated several military installations located throughout Europe. As installations closed and buildings were emptied, office furniture, computers, beds, and other furniture and equipment piled up in warehouses, like the one operated by the US-Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) in Italy.

Thanks to the efforts of EUCOM and DSCA, some of those items were recently given a new home in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. Personnel from the U.S. Embassy to Ukraine, EUCOM officials, and members of local Ukrainian government and non-government organizations gathered at the brandnew Vinnytsia Community Education Center for an inauguration ceremony on April 27.

The project began in 2012 as a request from a local non-government organization. They wanted a resource center in their area to focus on public health and youth education for socially-vulnerable individuals. Additionally, the community center also addresses the problems of internal displaced persons (IDP) and human trafficking. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation — often referred to as a modern-day form of slavery — is a multi-billion dollar criminal activity in Ukraine.

Trafficking of women and children for this type of exploitation is a serious

problem affecting hundreds of thousands of victims and their families.

The Vinnytsia Community Education Center was previously an unoccupied building, but is now a newly renovated facility through cooperative efforts by EUCOM’s Humanitarian Assistance Program, the Office of Defense Cooperation, the United States Agency for International Development and local government and non-government agencies in Ukraine. Prior to the renovation, community education and social support activities were

conducted at temporary sites in rented facilities. Sometimes, classes were even conducted in the homes of volunteers.

This community center project is just one of many involving U.S. and Ukraine partnerships. To date, the United States and Ukraine agencies have completed 35 humanitarian assistance projects in Ukraine over the past thirteen years and plan use these recent successful events as the framework for future projects.

“We have a long-standing relationship here,” said Mr. Geoffrey Pyatt,

U.S Ambassador to Ukraine, during the inauguration ceremony. “Ukraine is going through a moment of unique testing and we are standing by the Ukrainian people jointly with our European partners, helping the Ukrainian people to choose their own future.”

The EUCOM Humanitarian Assistance Program also coordinated the transfer and delivery of excess property to a local school in Vinnytsia. The Vinnytsia Inclusive Education School #16 provides educational support to more than 1,000 students, including 23 disabled children. The students range from six to sixteen years of age and the population continues to grow each year.

School # 16 is expecting nearly a twenty percent increase in its student population by 2016 due to the displacement of families from Eastern Ukraine. EUCOM is planning to support another humanitarian assistance project scheduled to begin in the next 18 months at the school which will include building renovations and infrastructure improvements.

“Ukraine is a partner nation of the United States of America, ” said U.S. Army Maj. Wendy Zaborowski, EUCOM Civic Engagement office.

“Through Defense Security Cooperation programs like Humanitarian Assistance renovations and Excess Property donations, we are able to partner with the Ukraine government to build its capacity and improve basic living conditions of its citizens, thus providing support for enduring stability in the future of Ukraine.”

Central Accord 15 focuses on African and European Partnership

By Staff Sgt. Michael Folkerth U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs

U.S. military members joined with troops from several central African countries and their United Nations allies to participate in the opening ceremony of the Central Accord 2015 exercise at Libreville, Gabon, May 13.

The focus of CA-15 is to practice maintaining peace, testing capacities and strengthening relationships of all nations involved in the exercise U.S. Ambassador to Gabon, Hon. Cynthia Akuetteh said.

“In a world characterized by changing and diverse threats, African countries have recognized the need to address themselves to the large security challenges that come their way,” said Commissioner General Air Marshal Jean Felix Sockat, the secretary general of the Department of National Defense for Gabon.

A total of 15 countries are participating in the exercise. CA-15 not only provides an opportunity to train and become more efficient in multinational responses to crises and threats around the world, it also shows the U.S. military’s continued support to Gabon and the other central African countries participating.

Sockat encouraged exercise participants to fully engage themselves in the training. The multinational military forces are slated to practice working together in operational, logistical and medical support of peacekeeping and humanitarian operations.

“It is clear that in this era of globalization, no country can single-handedly deal with all forms of threats. This is what justifies the pooling of strengths and experience-sharing that supports this kind of exercise,” said Sockat.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Shine, commander, 4th Battalion, 1st Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, works with central African military personnel during the preparation phase of Central Accord 2015 in Libreville, Gabon, May 14. Shine and his counterparts developed a plan of action for events taking place during the exercise. CA 15 exercises mission command proficiency for UN peacekeeping operations, develops multinational logistical and communications capabilities, and improves regional ability to command, control and support forward deployed forces. Approximately 400 military personnel from member nations are scheduled to participate in the exercise. The exercise consists of one week of classroom-based academics and one week of a command post exercise. — Photo by Staff Sgt. Michael Folkerth

Going Green: Green Boot Program U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart is one of several installations that have established a Green Boot program to recognize organizations for taking significant steps to reduce waste and preserve resources.

All organizations in USAG Stuttgart can apply to become Green Boot certified, according to Christian Dengel, the energy manager for USAG Stuttgart’s Directorate of Public Works.

Typically, an organization can obtain a checklist from DPW to begin implementing

changes required to meet the Green Boot standards.

“We know that not every organization can do the exact same thing, so the checklist can be individualized,” Dengel said. He also explained that the checklist offers several practices to choose from, instead of a single requirement that all organizations must meet.

The program intends for organizations to promote better practices to conserve energy and minimize any impact on the environment. According to Dengel,

most of the practices outlined are standard practices.

“Mostly these are things people should be doing anyway; properly separating trash, turning off computers and other equipment when possible,” he said. “Green Boot just recognizes those organizations that are doing all that they can to conserve energy and reduce their impact on the environment.”

A Green Boot organization not only conserves energy and minimizes the impact on the environment, but also sets a positive example for its employees, service and family members, and the entire military community.

By assuming a leadership and stewardship role, Green Boots will:

• Promote recycling and reduce solid waste disposal.

•• Practice energy and water conservation measures.

• Purchase products that are less harmful to human health and the environment.

• Help improve water quality in the creeks, rivers and lakes of the community.

• Help improve indoor and outdoor air quality.

• Educate personnel, service members, family members and other Installation agencies about green business practices.

To find out how you can get your organization involved in the Green Boot program, contact the DPW Energy Manager at 421-6253/civ. 0711-7228-6253.

Safety Corner: Deadly Distractions

USAG Stuttgart Safety Office

Many of today’s workplaces and households rely heavily on mobile phones for quick and convenient communication.

Chances are there is a mobile phone in your life to help you keep connected, almost instantly to the entire world.

As much as these devices may keep you connected to the world, the news your family and others, they often disconnect you from the world right around you, which can be very dangerous at the wrong time, most notably, while driving.

According to www.distraction.gov, the U.S. federal government website for information on distracted driving, 10% of drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal

crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash, making mobile phones, GPSes and other similar devices, quite literally, a deadly distraction.

Here are some typical distractions behind the wheel. Do any of them sound familiar?

• Mobile phone use • Reading or sending text messages • Trying to find a radio station or selecting music on your smart phone • Reaching for a moving object inside the vehicle • Trying to eat or drink while making sure nothing spills on your clothing • Looking at an object or event outside of the vehicle

• Reading a newspaper, map, or document • Applying makeup • Focusing on the GPS or other electronic gadget instead of the road

Here are some reminders for driving safely without distractions: • Be aware that using a hands-free, voice-activated mobile phone also increases driver impairment. Hands free devices increase driver impairment as much as having a couple of drinks of alcohol.

• Never read or send text messages while driving.

• Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

• Program your GPS and familiarize yourself with the route before you start driving • A safe driver also stops before checking maps and addresses, looking at paperwork, and dealing with similar distractions.

• Avoid eating or drinking in the car.

Stop and take a break when you want to eat or drink. The break will also help to make you more alert.

• Avoid stressful conversations with passengers that can divert the driver’s attention from the road.

Explore ‘near and dear’ sites alo

By Teri Weiss Special to The Citizen

Editor’s Note: This is the first instalment of a series that explores tourist-worthy destinations along the Neckar River.

With spring in the air and summer not far behind, it’s time to get out and explore some of the many “off the beaten tracks” destinations around Stuttgart during calm and leisurely drives along local highways and roads.

These will take you through villages and picturesque cities, hills and valleys, vineyards and orchards, lakes, castles and abbeys.

An often-quoted German proverb asks: „Warum in die Ferne schweifen, wenn das Gute liegt so nah?” Why travel far afield when there is much good close at hand? Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s paraphrased quotation expresses what surely applies to our local setting: That the “near“ around here is as “good” as and definitely closer than what faraway places or distant lands have to offer. The following day trips all start at Stuttgart as take-off point.

The Neckar River: ‘Wet, wild fellow’ It’s not Germany’s largest or broadest river: Some 367 kilometres, or 228 miles, long, the Neckar – originating from “nicarus” and “neccarus” from the Celtic name Nikros, meaning wild water or wild fellow - weaves its way from south to north through Baden-Württemberg and a small corner of southern Hessen, through picturesque rural and urban landscapes.

Originating in the nature conservation area of the “Schwenninger Moos” near Villingen-Schwenningen in the southern Schwarzwald, or Black Forest, the Neckar starts out as a mere brook.

Joined along its path by the Eschach River and, widened considerably with the addition of several other tributaries, the Neckar flows from then on through towns such as Rottweil, Rottenburg, Kilchberg, Tübingen, Plochingen, Esslingen, Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Marbach, Besigheim, Bietigheim, Lauffen, Heilbronn, Bad Wimpfen and Mosbach, and then through the Odenwald hills and finally to Heidelberg before discharging into the Rhine at Mannheim.

The entire Neckar Valley can be explored by car, train, bus, and bicycle or

even on foot.

Driving - There are many good local roads, for example the B 27/37, B14, B28, B297, 312 and 313, B10, B45, B3 Cruising boats - A number of river boats provide short and longer cruises on the Neckar in Stuttgart to Marbach(the White Fleet) and from Bad Wimpfen or Eberbach to Heidelberg and Mannheim.

See http://www.neckarschiffahrt.de/ Biking - Trails and paths are well marked and easy to follow. Many villages and towns are close enough near each other and reachable within an hour or so. http://www.neckarradweg.de/neckarindex.html Walking and hiking – Along the river there are several marked trails – from easy family walks to athletic tours - along the Wuerttemberg Wine Walking Trail or a portion of the Main-Neckar-Rhein Trail (540 km) from Wertheim into the southern Black Forest http://www.neckar-magazin.de/sport/wandern-neckar/ neckarsteig-wanderweg/index.htmlmt

From south to north: Towns along the Neckar Looking at the map, there are at least 60 interesting regions to visit in the Neckar valley. The rightly famous ones are without doubt some of the most appealing spots in Germany.

Every city, town and village has a unique charm, character and atmosphere of its own. Some have old centers and squares, churches, castles, palaces and historic monuments, and ornately decorated half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets. Map out and plan your tours, then. There is plenty to do and to see while gathering impressions and insights of this marvelous area.

Villingen-Schwenningen For centuries the city consisted of two separate villages. In 1858 the first watch factory was established, and watch making and precision mechanics have been important industries ever since.

In 1972, Villingen and Schwenningen was merged with a number of surrounding villages to form the hyphenated city.

Nevertheless, the two halves are separated by a plateau and remain distinct.

Villingen is a major center of German Faschin, or carnival, celebrations.

Rottweil Rottweil was a free imperial city for nearly 600 years. Located between

the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb, Rottweil counts 25,000 inhabitants today. The old city is famous for its medieval town center and for its traditional Fasching, or carnival, celebrations.

Rottweil also is Baden-Württemberg’s oldest town and its appearance changed very little from the 16th century.

For more, visit www.rottweil.de.

Tübingen

Horb Horb is just above the confluence of the Grabenbach and Neckar rivers. The city with its well-preserved old town, ancient castle and gardens, is situated on a ridge overlooking the Neckar. Horb was first mentioned in a document in 1090 as “horv” or “horva,” meaning swamp in the Old High German dialect.

The annual medieval festival is called Maximilian-Ritterspiele, or knight’s tournaments. This year, the event takes place June 19-21. For more information go to www.stuttgartcitizen.com and click on the “Culture & Leisure” and “Off-Post Events” tab.

Rottenburg

Rottenburg is a medium-sized town about 50 kilometers southwest of Stuttgart. Rottenburg was originally founded around 98 A.D. as a Roman settlement. It had a line of walls built to defend it from attacks of the Alamanni tribes, who destroyed it in A.D. 260.

The name Rottenburg may be derived from a Germanic root meaning ‘destroyed’. Another origin of Rottenburg’s name could be “red fortress.” During the Middle Ages, the town was governed by the counts of Hohenberg, who eventually sold it to the Habsburg dynasty in 1381. Rottenburg remained a part of Anterior Austria until 1805 when it was assigned to Württemberg.

Rottenburg is the seat of the Roman Catholic bishop for the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. Main sights include the romantic old town and the archdiocesan cathedral of St. Martin, and Roman excavations.

Tübingen is a traditional university town located about 30 kilometers south of Stuttgart on a ridge between the Neckar and Ammer rivers.

Life in the city is mainly dominated by its approximately 26,000 students.

Tübingen has fittingly been described by many as “a mixture of old and distinguished academic flair, with liberal and ‘green’ politics on one hand and conservative student fraternities on the other. With rural-agricultural and winegrowing environs and shaped by typical Lutheran-Pietist characteristics, such as austerity and a Protestant work ethic and traditional Swabian elements, such as frugality, order and tidiness.”

Main sights are the 15th century Gothic Stiftskirche, or collegiate church, St. Georg and the Renaissance city hall, the oldest building in the market place dating back to 1435. Above the city looms Hohentübingen Castle, a mighty renaissance construction with four wings, moats and drawbridges and round towers.

Plochingen

Plochingen is located at the confluence of the Fils and Neckar rivers about 19 kilometers southeast of Stuttgart.

From here, the Neckar has been made navigable. Close to the railway station is a Hundertwasser House, designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser and built in 1992. As this house should “not disturb the traditional skyline of the town,” it is rather conventional on the outside.

ong Neckar River Neckar valley is densely populated and very industrialized, and from here onward, the Neckar has been tamed with dams and locks, which makes travel up and down the river easier, facilitating the movement of large quantities of goods on heavy barges. The many dams along the Neckar’s course northward also protect the towns along the shores against seasonal floods; these dams also produce electricity and some serve as bridges.

Esslingen

Esslingen is about 14 kilometers southeast of Stuttgart. It was formerly a free imperial city for several centuries until it was annexed by Württemberg in 1802. Besides vineyards and forests, Esslingen has a picturesque medieval town center and the oldest half-timbered line of house facades in Germany. Since the city was not severely damaged during World War II, its medieval appearance has been preserved. For more information, visit www.esslingen.de.

Stuttgart Stuttgart is the capital of BadenWürttemberg and Germany’s sixthlargest city with a population of more than 600,000. The city is spread across seven hills with urban vineyards, green wooded valleys and several large parks unusual for a German industrial center and technological reputation as “cradle of the automobile.” Main sights are the Old Castle and the New Palace, vineyards in the Neckar Valley, world-class museums, galleries and parks. Stuttgart is also well-known for festivals such as the Wine Village, the Cannstatter Volksfest and its Christmas market.
