About Us

We are the Kraft family. We immigrated to the US in 1997 and now reside in the California Bay area. To help our kids learn more about their German origins, language and culture, we typically travel to Germany once or twice a year, where we visit our family and friends during our stay in Germany. Our kids visit local kindergartens and schools there during most of our stays, allowing them to mingle with other kids of their own age, make new friends, and learn and deepen their understanding of the German language and culture.

The Village Waldgirmes

Waldgirmes is a small and charming village located in central Hesse (Mittelhessen) in the middle of Germany, which is centrally located in Europe. It is part of the Lahnau community, located right between the two neighboring towns Wetzlar and Giessen (approximately 4 miles distance to each). The name “Lahnau” is derived from the nearby Lahn River, a right tributary of the Rhine. Our apartment is located at the edge of the village, adjacent to lush meadows and beautiful forests. With only 50 miles distance from Frankfurt and its overall good integration into the German highway (Autobahn) system, Waldgirmes is easily accessible from Frankfurt Rhein-Main International Airport, just a 45-minute drive away.
