Yes, Franken is quiet and green. If it is Essen you are going to, then there should definitely be meetups nearby - see if there is something you like and check it out. Stockholm, my nearest big town, has dozens of meetups and there should be some people there that are sympathetic.
Yes, spring is great. My secretly planted tulips (I do this every year) are coming up too.
Gutes Wochenende -
