All the eateries listed have one thing in common: their outstanding performance. The very best produce and ingredients are prepared with meticulous attention to detail here by creative chefs with incredible fl air who really love their job. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t make it onto this prestigious list. And speaking of love, there’s another thing that sets these restaurants apart: real love – real silver. After all, the trappings and the atmosphere also play an important role in the dining experience. Even the greatest masterpiece needs a stage to unveil its full effect. Nowadays, it seems there’s a constant pressure for everything to become quicker, more convenient and easier all the time. All the more comforting, then, to know that these restaurants and the people behind them exist. Dine with the best and enjoy yourself. Yours, Oliver Berking 2 3 Alta Alta is a veritable classic amongst the Moderns. Despite its somewhat austere appearance, this range of cutlery conveys an almost sensuous feeling of pure pleasure for the eye and also for the hands. The reason is that its chiselled fi nish allows us to experience the beauty of the silver, there is no unneces- sary ornamentation to distract our gaze away from the clarity of the lines. With its simplistic beauty and its taut silhouette, Alta makes us feel that this is the one and only shape that is justifi ed in providing the basic pattern for every contemporary style of cutlery today.

  • Specialists for Enjoyment Ten Testimonials Present the Enjoyment Region of Stuttgart
    Press Release Specialists for Enjoyment Ten testimonials present the Enjoyment Region of Stuttgart The Stuttgart Region offers a huge range of culinary delicacies: from exquisite starred restaurants to down-to-earth traditional fare, sparkling wines and sweet delights. The ten specialists below, whose professions all have to do with creating enjoyment, are just some examples of the many different facets of the Enjoyment Region of Stuttgart. Starred chef Vincent Klink – a Michelin star has been shining over his "Wielandshöhe" restaurant without a break since 1991 – cultivates not only haute cuisine, but also the tradition of typical regional dishes. He places particular importance on the quality of the ingredients used, on organically-grown vegetables and species-appropriate animal husbandry. Klink likes to buy his favourite regional produce at Stuttgart's Art Nouveau Market Hall, which was built in 1914. The Swabian restaurateurs Ferdinand and Maximilian Trautwein pursue a style of cooking that is firmly rooted in traditional Swabian cuisine. At their "Gasthaus zur Linde" the food is presented in a modern look that delights the eye as well as the palate. One of their favourite ingredients is Filderkraut, a local variety of pointed cabbage that grows on the fields of the Filder plateau south of Stuttgart. The young wine grower Moritz Haidle is one of the most successful wine producers in the Stuttgart Region and one of Germany's 60 best young vintners. In 2014 he took over the Karl Haidle wine estate in Stetten from his father, where he now carries on the family tradition. To him, not only good wine, but also good food and good automobiles are an integral part of the Stuttgart Region.

  • Integration of East German Resettlers Into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR
    Integration of East German Resettlers into the Cultures and Societies of the GDR Doctoral Thesis of Aaron M.P. Jacobson Student Number 59047878 University College London Degree: Ph.D. in History 1 DECLARATION I, Aaron M.P. Jacobson, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT A controversy exists in the historiography of ethnic German post-WWII refugees and expellees who lived in the German Democratic Republic. This question is namely: to what extent were these refugees and expellees from various countries with differing cultural, religious, social and economic backgrounds integrated into GDR society? Were they absorbed by the native cultures of the GDR? Was an amalgamation of both native and expellee cultures created? Or did the expellees keep themselves isolated and separate from GDR society? The historiography regarding this controversy most commonly uses Soviet and SED governmental records from 1945-53. The limitation of this approach by historians is that it has told the refugee and expellee narrative from government officials’ perspectives rather than those of the Resettlers themselves. In 1953 the SED regime stopped public record keeping concerning the Resettlers declaring their integration into GDR society as complete. After eight years in the GDR did the Resettlers feel that they were an integrated part of society? In an attempt to ascertain how Resettlers perceived their own pasts in the GDR and the level of integration that occurred, 230 refugees and expellees were interviewed throughout the former GDR between 2008-09.

  • Stadt Friedberg
    inspires FRIEDBERG ON THE ROMANTIC ROAD Schwabenstädte THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE FRIEDBERG – A WELCOMING CITY Greetings to all guests who have come to visit our historical city located on the Romantic Road. Whether you are vacationing, meeting up with friends or stopping by to do business here – we are pleased you have come and hope you enjoy your stay. In Friedberg you will find a special combination of factors contribute to our high quality of life: a historical center steeped in history with beautiful shops, a wide range of gastronomy, varied natural surroundings, year-round events, and cultural activities. As the southern heart of the Wittelsbach region, and good neighbors with the Fugger City of Augsburg, Friedberg has developed into a regional center where people enjoy residing, working, and shopping- in a word: enjoy living. Let yourself be inspired by the impres- sions in this brochure. Roland Eichmann Mayor of Friedberg Welcome to Friedberg. To one person a Bavarian Tuscany, to another a baroque gem: Friedberg welcomes you with the charm of a city that knows how to live. The Wittelsbach Castle and the baroque Town Hall are reminders of the golden age in the city’s history. In the mid-16th century, the dukes of Wittelsbach promoted trade and industry from their residence in Friedberg, especially inspiring civic artisan craftsmanship. In the 17th and 18th century Friedberg became a well-known center for watch and clockmaking. Since 1989, the golden “Friedberg Era” (Friedberger Zeit) has been celebrated every three years with a large historical festival of the same name held in the city center.
