Sinsheim is a great small city, easy to visit, having good regional bus service, if needed, and with excellent genealogical resources. (See my previous posts.) If you are not keen on driving, there are excellent connections (1hr 20 min including 1 change of train) directly from the FRA airport (Fernbahnhof) to Sinsheim, three blocks from the city center. Use search engine for German Rail and select bahn.com … USA link. Btw, this site is excellent for finding connections all over Europe. I have some basic information about Sinsheim Lipps who were masons (as a trade) in Sinsheim in the mid-19th century. Also Peter Lipp, a master baker perhaps from Dühren (2.5 mi. west). Please contact me directly if you would like more detailed ideas about genealogical connections or places to stay.

The village is Sinsheim in Baden. We will be flying into Frankfurt.
