I'll do my best to translate and interpret the directions you were given by the local so that I can find the location you need. The German directions you were given can be translated to English as: "Down the street, there is a big intersection. Then turn left at the Litfaß column (a type of street sign). The old church should be to the right, across the market square. The supermarket is directly behind that." Based on these directions, it seems that: LOCATION: The supermarket is directly behind an old church, located across a market square. To get there, you need to head down the street from your current location until you reach a major intersection. At that intersection, you'll find a street sign (called a Litfaßsäule in German). You should turn left there. If you have turned correctly, you should see an old church to your right that is situated on the opposite side of a town square or market area. Once you reach the church, the grocery store should be located just behind the church building. I hope this helps guide you to the supermarket based on the directions you were given. Let me know if you need any other assistance as you navigate your new city!
