Hey there.
My name is Tobias Schulz, and I am living and studying in Erfurt, the capital of the German state of Thuringia. I am 19 years old, and before I came to Erfurt, I have already studied for one year in Jena, another big city in Thuringia. My hometown Weimar, which is the most well-known city in Thuringia, is located between these cities.
All university students in Thuringia receive an identification card when attending an university in Thuringia. With this card, students can travel almost everything in Thuringia, they have to pay for the card anyway as a student fee, which is around 230€. Because of that I thought why not write a blog about which spots students can visit with this card as a guide for fellow students in Thuringia.
If the reader is a student in Thuringia or even from elsewhere and follows this blog vigilantly, it will give a nice guide of the most wonderful places Thuringia has to offer.

Hello Tobias,
First of all I want to thank you for choosing a topic that helps other students in their every-day life. Saving money is a crucial thing for every one of us and the high amount of information about discounts for students in Erfurt and the surrounding cities shows how much effort you put in researching. For me, as a foreign student from Lower Saxony, it was quite interesting to read about possible destinations here in Thuringia, given the fact that we can travel the whole state for free. Your blog also helped me a lot with my weekend plans, when my family came here to visit me. We visited the Cathedral and also watched a game of the Black Dragons, the local ice hockey club you mentioned in your 5th entry. All in all I have to say that your blog is very interesting and I recommend it to everyone who wants to plan a weekend with his friends or family and likes to find out more about the beautiful state of Thuringia. I`m looking forward to your next updates.
Greetings Florian

Hello Tobias, I found your blog to be very interesting. Since moving from Karlsruhe to Erfurt in order to study I have never really had the opportunity to explore the city. Your blog has given me some inspiration for my future weekend trips.I really did not know, that Jena is such a beautiful city. Furthermore, I wish to have something like the “Hörsaalkino” at our university, because it seems like a great opportunity for students to connect with other people. Additionally, the “insider information” concerning the interesting topic of the seven wonders of Jena was a new aspect that not everybody has the privilege to know about. Your current entry about the Christmas market in Erfurt also caught my attention, because I was never told that Erfurt has such a huge and beautiful Christmas market. Thanks to your recommendation I visited it and it was the best way to spend a cold winter‘s day. To see all the Christmas decorations, enjoy some of the mulled wine and the delicious food there was a wonderful experience that I will keep in mind for next Christmas. I‘m excited to read your next blog entry.
Greeting Florian.
