Great stuff - as for freezing sliced bread: I do that all the time.
You might have fun going on a culinary bread-tasting trip to Europe (not just England) - every country and region has its own specialties.
I agree with you on the Wonder Bread - I lived long enough in Canada where this, and similar brands grossed me out. Fortunately, we had a German baker in our neighborhood. It cost a lot more, but was worth it. I have to admit, while I cook and occasionally bake, I never made bread.

One of my best childhood memories is from when my dad was stationed in Germany and I sunk my teeth into some delicious German bread! I was only around 5 or 6, but that memory has stuck with me my entire life. It has some kind of spice in it. Maybe it was just rye.
Whatever it was, it was perfect! I have not tasted it ever since. Perhaps it was the best bread in the world, or maybe it was my young healthy tastebuds. For whatever reason, that bread was amazing! I imagine Austria has really good bread as well, right?
yes, we have more different types of bread in Austria than I could taste myself through in a month. What you tasted in Germany might have had some caraway seeds in it. Some rye breads have that. Fennel is another spice used sometime.
Some white bread has poppy seeds on it - all year round, but particularly at Christmas:
Do you read German (or maybe use a Translation tool) - here, right from Vienna, to go with the image above:

As you can see, there are vastly different shapes and looks to rye breads. Just googling Bauernbrot (Farmers Bread) gives you all kinds of images. The task select lets you choose categories - I suggest to go with Brot selber backen Rezept
Another way of baking bread is sourdough, which you can make yourself and set some aside for next time.
If your German is so that you can follow this video, OK, if not, the recipe is in the comments when you go to the YT video directly via this link
