A visit to the Philipp-Reis-Museum in Friedrichsdorf
2025-04-06 11:30 - 18:00 | Philipp-Reis-Haus, Hugenottenstraße 93, Friedrichsdorf, 61381
Dear Pickwicks,
As mentioned, I’m offering you now a more reliable event: a visit to the Philipp-Reis-Museum in Friedrichsdorf, completed with a meal in a cafeteria nearby.
Philipp Reis is a very important personality of German and international culture. He died quite young , lived 1834–1874 and was a self-taught German scientist and inventor. In 1861, he constructed the first telephone , today called the Reis Telephone. It was the first device to transmit a voice via electronic signals and for that the first modern telephone.
I’ve booked a visit to the house he was born in, which is in Friedrichsdorf, and we’ll get a guided tour of it on April 6th at 13:00. There we’ll learn more about his life and his commitment, his inventions and his merits for the new technics and humanity.
After the tour, which takes some 1.5 hours, we’ll pop in a cafeteria nearby and enjoy a nice snack there.
S5 brings us directly to Friedrichsdorf, so we’ll meet up at Frankfurt Main station at 11:45, downstairs, on the platform direction Friedrichsdorf.
The visit costs €35 for our group and is limited to 15 people, as the house isn’t very large. Please let me know if you wish to join, up to Wednesday 02nd. (I’ve been intentionally avoiding April 1st!!!!)
Best regards,
Valeria

Relaxing summer walk along the Mühlenwanderweg in Mühlheim
2025-06-29 10:30 - 16:00
Pickwicks leaves its comfort zone for a hike into unknown territory…
This summer hike, led by René Hartmann, follows part of the Mühlenwanderweg, connecting the sites of numerous past and present mills in the town of Mühlheim, which is situated between Offenbach and Hanau. Starting at Mühlheim station, the route follows the Rodau and Bieber rivers to the Käsmühle restaurant, where we will stop for lunch. Afterwards, we will return to Mühlheim via a different route.
The total length of the hike is approximately 11 km on completely flat terrain, making it suitable for inexperienced walkers. However, since it will be late June, please remember to apply sunscreen and bring an adequate supply of water!
Due to railworks in the Offenbach S-Bahn tunnel, there are no direct trains from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof or the town centre. The best alternative is the S8 from Frankfurt Südbahnhof, which can be reached using the S1, S3–S6, U1–U3 and U8, as well as various tram and bus lines.
Meeting point 1:

Frankfurt Südbahnhof
10:45
Platform 8
to catch the 10:51 S8 towards Hanau Hauptbahnhof
(arriving in Mühlheim at 11:09).

Meeting point 2:

Outside Mühlheim station
(Google Maps link)
11:10

For our return journey to Frankfurt Süd, we plan to take the 14:53 S8 from Mühlheim, which runs every 30 minutes.
