Hof: Wuerstelstadt, Saale Source Region, and Upper Franconia's Gate to the East
Hof has a population around 49,000 and sits on the Saale river in Upper Franconia, Bavaria, near the Thuringian and Saxon borders. The city is known throughout Germany for its distinctive sausage culture; Hofer Wuerstl (boiled sausages served in a beef broth) are a local institution sold from small street stands. The Buergerpark Theresienstein, a large hillside park, is one of the oldest municipal parks in Bavaria.
Hof was a border city during the Cold War; the Deutsch-Deutsches Museum in nearby Moedlareuth documents the divided village that earned the nickname "Little Berlin." In October 1989, thousands of East Germans arriving by train from Prague were greeted at Hof station on their way to freedom in the West. The Freiheitshalle (Freedom Hall) commemorates this moment. The Hofer Filmtage, an annual film festival, is one of Germany's most important independent film events. The Fichtelgebirge mountains begin south of the city. Adult companionship follows Bavaria's regulatory approach.
