Danke schon.
This time last year, everybody here in Aachen's Christmas markets in Germany
were using up their old Deutschmark.
12 months on, of course, they've all got well accustomed to euro notes and coins,
but whether they really feel much affection for the new single currency,
well, that's another matter.
Take the storeholders here.
The majority are German and whilst most of the shoppers are from neighbouring Belgium and Holland just a few miles away,
there's still a lot of nostalgia for the Deutschmark.
I'm a seller for candy and sweets and all the customers say 'oh, the euro is teuer,
It is expensive, and then I think it is better we go back to the D-mark.
Drinks have got more expensive when you go out.
Everything's got more expensive.
That is definitely one point, one aspect that I can see.
There's been numerous complaints here in Aachen and elsewhere in the Eurozone,
where the changeover to the euro has pushed up prices.
Retailers deny it, but some countries like Belgium and Austria are lobbying the European Central Bank to print the one-euro coin as a note as well,
to help people feel richer using the new currency.
Away from the cash tills, though, there is more optimism for the euro.
I don't really feel more European but I think it's a good thing,
yes, I think, just like I said, it's for me because I do travel a lot and I do go and I have customers from Ireland and they are very happy.
They say, 'We've got the euro, you know, we don't have to think in Deutschmark.
And I think it's good for business and we are still waiting for Great Britain.
So, there is some nostalgia still here for the Deutschmark,
but overall people do say it's a good thing, the euro, for this region and indeed the whole of Germany,
and they'd like to see other countries adopt the single currency.
Of course Sweden votes next year,
but there's still a big question mark over the UK.
