HEIDELBERG Most people who come through Heidelberg on a bus tour of Europe unfortunately, only get a quick look at the castle, a snapshot glimpse of the town below, then reboard the bus to leave town. They don’t experience the genuine Old World charm of the city itself, which is a crying shame, because this town is well worth visiting for several days. Heidelberg has a pleasant, old-fashioned appearance, with charming four-story buildings that share a similar architecture of matching Upon landing in Frankfurt we transfer directly to facades and harmonious, earth-tone color nearby Heidelberg to begin our tour.

While the exteriors may be centuries old, they are maintained spotlessly with fresh paint and modern fixtures.

BRIEF HISTORY of HEIDELBERG The foundations of Heidelberg’s buildings are Gothic, built from the 12th through 16th centuries, along a regular grid street pattern. The roads may have been laid down even earlier, during the first century, since the Romans established a permanent camp here at that time and were noted for their engineering skills in laying out rectangular city plans. One can visit the local history museum and Germany’s first university opened here in 1386, actually glimpse much further back in time, all the and it is still an important part of Heidelberg.

    PRESS RELEASE AÏDA coffee and pastry shop makes debut in travel retail at Vienna Airport Vienna, April 8th, 2019 – Lagardère Travel Retail opens the first AÏDA coffee and pastry shop in travel retail at Vienna Airport. AÏDA is a near-cult Viennese “Café Konditorei” – a coffee and pastry shop - founded in 1913 by Josef Prousek. Over the years AÏDA has always been a defender of Viennese tradition and quality, for instance by being one of the first to introduce Italian-style espresso machines in Austria in 1948 and by refusing to add flavored coffee to their menu when it became fashionable. Now 106 years strong, AÏDA has become the largest and most exclusive family-owned confectionery producer and coffee shop brand in Europe with 130 pastry chefs producing 3 tons of cakes and pastries daily, along with 30 types of ice cream and ice cream cake. Specialties sold at AÏDA today are Coffee, Cakes, Pastry, Tea, Merchandise, Snacks, Ice Cream and Gifts. Dominik Prousek, Executive Director and fourth generation of the AÏDA family commented “We are very happy that Lagardère Travel Retail saw the perfect fit and potential of this brand for the travel retail channel. AÏDA is special because we accompany our guests throughout the day – offering not only coffee and sweets – but also breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks as well as gifts for family and friends. We have created the perfect offer for travelers all over the world and we are very pleased to have taken this first step together with our strategic partner Lagardère Travel Retail. We are very proud to showcase our heritage at Vienna airport and more than ever committed to bring a slice of Viennese tradition to the world to bake the world a better place!“ PRESS RELEASE 2/2 Astrid Meyer-Hentschel, CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail Austria added, “We are very pleased to be able to showcase this concept, as it is a perfect fit with our strategy, to create unique and differentiated customer experience that surprises travelers, wherever they are”.

In English, we use the terms "confections and confectioners" to mean "sweets, candies, and the people who make them," and the term "baker" to mean "someone who makes breads, cakes, pastries, and so on, cooked in an oven." In German, however, the term Konditor (Conditor, confectioner) has come to include professional makers of several categories of sweets-candies, ice creams, and past ries (cakes, tortes, cookies, pies)-as distinguished from a Backer (baker), whose products (breads, buns) are primarily non-sweet and are made with yeast. Formerly, a Konditorei sold only sweet products, whereas a Backerei sold only breads. Today in Germany, businesses identified as a Backerei-Konditorei or a Backstube make and sell both kinds of ba ked goods.

  • Culture of Coffee by Nina Bohlmann
    Culture of Coffee by Nina Bohlmann Nina Bohlmann: It’s the 11th century in Ethiopia, and Kaldi, a goat herder, is walking through the province Kaffa with his herd. One day, he notices that his goats are acting sort of strange — jumping around, all excited. He sees that they are eating these little red berries — and, intrigued, he tries some for himself. He, too, suddenly feels way more energetic. Excited about this magical fruit, he brings it to a monk. But the monk disregards the berries and throws them into the fire. But as the berries burn, this incredible aroma draws both of them back in. One way or another, they have the idea of grinding the beans and mixing them with hot water ... and coffee is born [POURING COFFEE]. At least, that’s the most common version of the story. How, when, and where coffee was born is actually a contested issue — many countries claim to have discovered coffee. But what’s undeniable is that coffee has since spread across the globe and has gotten a lot of us hooked — no matter how we like it best. Male voice: Plain, black coffee. Female voice: Just a tiny bit of demerara sugar. Male voice: Costa Rican, fair trade. Female voice: A lot of sugar and cream. Nina Bohlmann: Over the course of centuries, coffee has taken on an important role both in many caffeine addicts’ day-to-day, but also in the cultures of many countries and communities. Today, we are going to take a look at the coffee culture in the United States and in Germany — and finally take it back to where it all began: Ethiopia.
