Looking up Einstein's street (Kramgasse) towards the Zytgloggeturm (Clock Tower) His house would be on the left about half-way up. Einstein's street has four separate parts with four different names.It starts out Spitalgasse, passes through the Prison Tower gate and becomes Marktgasse, which then goes by the clock tower and at that point the name changes to Kramgasse, which changes again to Gerechtigheitsgasse just before it passes over the Nydegg bridge.

Munstergasse (and McDonalds)Einstein's English vocabulary was probably no more than a few hundred words and that the great man was often largely incomprehensible in our language. All his assistants at Princeton had to speak German.
For most of us, Albert Einstein remains the emblematic genius-holy man of modern science -- part Gandhi, part absent-minded professor, part wide-eyed child. (Apparently Steven Spielberg modeled E.T.'s kindly and sorrowful eyes after those of Einstein.)
