Die Anmeldung
When you arrive in a town in Germany, whether it be from another town of from a different coutry you must complete a registration or 'Anmeldung'. Nell and I had to go to the Rathaus (town hall) where we sat in queue for an hour and a half until I could hand in my form. There was a little confusion over my sex as I had misunderstood the form and put James, my middle name, as my maiden name. Oops. Anyhow, all was rectified and, with my masculinity restored I left the Rathaus with a piece of paper which certifies me as a bonafide 'Erlanger'.
