Here's the breakdown after a week:

First, please note that on saturday at 2pm everything shuts down other than some restaurants and a bakery Muller(good one) that opens sunday 8-11..

You have a REWE supermarket 2 floors which is large for german standards, the yogurt selection is incredible, 2 aisles of chocolate (amazing stuff, you may not have another mars or nestle when u get back), lots of pre-packed cold-cuts (schinken=ham) to make sandwiches, lots of beer ...

Vodafone shop next to REWE...we are using a local cell from a friend to save on local calls...

Next to REWE there's a sandwich place..roasted chicken is very good...

A few restaurants: Erato's and Prima , both execellent italian menus;

Thers'a movie theater "Cadillac", american style with a 1950's type style facade and an American Bar inside.

2 Apotheke (pharmacies) for your prescriptions fills from the Klinik, 830-1830 hours.

By the Deutsche Bank bldg there's a Geldomat(ATM), across the street there are two ATM ..The HQ for Bank HYPO is across the Hotel...

There's a small Tobacco/Newspaper store to the left of the Hotel...

The U-4 Arabella Park terminal takes you to downtown in 10, Main Train Station in 15...

And you are 5 minutes walk across the street from Alpha Klinik...

Hope this help all those future spineys;
