EGO abroad

In every edition we include a picture of the
magazine in a different part of the world and the
list of places that the EGO® has visited keeps
on growing! This month we’re with Will Johnson in
Germany on a recent excursion with AKT
(Aberystwyth Kronberg Twinning) outside the
Kurhaus in Wiesbaden.
Will has advised us that the building was erected
in 1907 at the request of Emperor William II. It cost
six million marks at the time and is inscribed with
the words ‘Aquis Mattiacis’, meaning ‘dedicated
to the springs of the Mattiaci’ from Roman times
(around 6-15 AD). Not far from this building, the rich
thermal springs can be found that give Wiesbaden
its name. The first mention of the name ‘Wisibada’
can be found in records from the year 828 AD.
The excursion was part of the annual visit by AKT
to Kronberg im Taunus for the Christmas market,
where Welsh goods are sold to promote Wales.

Next month… New York, with one of the EGO’s most
well-known contributors! Please send all of your
foreign photos to contact@aberystwythego.co.uk
