1985-1986 over in Nuremberg (Furth, actually) and 1986-1988 in Heidelberg, where I lived down in Reilingen, just south of where Autobahns 5 and 6 crossed. After school, I worked over in Seckenheim (halfway between Mannheim and H-Berg on 565).

Back in Reilingen, we could only pick up four English-speaking radio stations: BBC, which didn't come in too clearly; Radio Moscow, which was all Soviet propaganda; AFN, which was all American propaganda; and CFN (the Canadian Forces Network), which I listened to when it wasn't broadcasting in French. From CFN, I managed to pick up a Canadian accent -- everyone at Heidelberg High School thought I was Canadian.
