  • It Is Our Pleasure!
    It is our pleasure! Celebrating at Münchner Stubn The Wickenhäuser & Egger family is looking forward to your visit Joie de vive, Bavarian-style. We would like to cordially introduce ourselves by saying „Grüß Gott & Hello“: We are Kathrin Wickenhäuser-Egger and Alexander Egger, two true Munich natives, and we‘ve always had a heart for the smaller and more extravagant deli- cacies of our unique city. We have realized a long-awaited dream by opening the Münchner Stubn. Our idea was really rather simple: A place, where people from all over the world get in touch with Munich soil, some perhaps for the first time, this is precisely where we would like to welcome our guests and show them the genuine spirit of Bavarian hospitality. And wouldn‘t that be most easily done with a crispy roast on a rustic wooden table, and a glass of beer straight from the barrel? Yes, ... and sometimes some really fresh Bavarian veal sausage is worth a thous- and words. The location of Münchner Stubn in the area around the southern train station is no coincidence: The family Wicken- häuser has been present as entrepreneurs here for more than 100 years, first with the sale of automobiles, and as a successful family in the car racing, with Hotel Cristal in Schwanthalerstrasse for 30 years, and with Hotel Dolomit in Goethestrasse for 10 years. Let yourself be seduced by the charm of Munich under a white-blue sky. And our fine delicacies that make a visit worth-while time and again. See you soon!

  • Reformation 500Th Anniversary Tour & Danube
    REFORMATION 500TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR & DANUBE RIVER CRUISE Hosted by Bill and Angie Heston October 2-13, 2017 Sponsored by First Presbyterian Church Adult Enrichment Featuring a land tour to Wittenberg, Germany where in 1517, Martin Luther “nailed his 95 Theses” on the door of the Castle church which eventually led to the birth of the Protestant Church. The trip includes a 7-night cruise on the Danube River from Nuremberg, Germany to Budapest, Hungary with stops in Regensburg, Passau, Linz, Melk, and Vienna. MONDAY, OCTOBER 2 Meet at IAH for departure to Germany. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3 … BERLIN Arrive Berlin at 11:30 am. Upon arrival at the airport, a local representative will transfer our group to the Adlon Kempinski Hotel. After check-in and lunch, we’ll tour Berlin with an expert local guide visiting the Reichstag, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, whose ruin stands as a dramatic reminder of World War II. Pass by Potsdamer Platz, a bustling cross-section of the city’s past. Once desolate and divided by the Berlin Wall, the square’s redevelopment can be regarded as a statement of intent for the reunified city. Next is ‘Checkpoint Charlie’, the famous crossing point between East and West Berlin during the years of partition. We end the tour with a visit to Berlin Cathedral, the largest 20th Century Protestant church in the country. (B) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4 … WITTENBERG, LEIPZIG, BAMBERG We’ll have an early morning departure from Berlin and travel to Wittenberg, the city known as the “Mother of the Reformation.” It was here that Martin Luther lived and preached, and on October 31, 1517, he reportedly nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the All Saint’s Castle Church, commonly referred to as Schlosskirche, which we will visit.

  • Outdoor Museums in the Bavarian-Bohemian Borderland a Glimpse Into the Past
    Outdoor Museums in the Bavarian-Bohemian Borderland A glimpse into the past Across the border and to the south of Markt Eisenstein is the Museumsdorf Bayerischer Wald, an outdoor museum featuring some 50 buildings originally constructed in the Bavarian-Bohemian forest between the 17th and the 19th centuries. The museum is located on the outskirts of Tittling, a small town close to Passau, in eastern Bavaria. The wooden structures were acquired by collector, Georg Höltl, who dismantled them in their original location and reconstructed them at the site of the museum. There, he re-created a forest village, depicting the life of the villagers who lived in the Bavarian Woods at that time. The village museum contains cottages, barns, grain mills, a saw mill, a chapel, smithies, and an old schoolhouse. The Museumsdorf Bayerischer wald (Photo )by SAM 1999) original glassworks building belonging to the Bohemian Lötz glassworks is also found here. The structures are filled with furniture, farm equipment and other items from the period. Visitors to this village museum have a unique opportunity to envision what life was like for those who lived in the Bayerischer Wald/ Bohmerwald in previous centuries. The Finsterau Open-Air Museum, is found in the Bavarian Forest National Park, close to the Bohemian forest (Bohmerwald), and approximately 32 miles from Passau. A variety of farmhouses and outbuildings, along with a village smithy, a wooden chapel and a traveler’s inn, originally built in various areas of the Bavarian forest, have been re-located here. Structures have been maintained in their original time-worn condition to allow visitors a glimpse of how life was lived in a by-gone era.

For Tad, my greatest champion, my best friend, my light and my love. You taught me how to restore faith in myself when I needed it the most. You have seen me at my best and my worst, and yet you still stand beside me, supporting me with the kind of maturity and optimism that I did not known could exist in a single person. Thank you for always believing in me, and for supporting my thesis work with the patience of a saint. And to my Mookie, my sweet mom. By your example, I have learned that a mother’s love for her daughter transcends even the greatest hardships that life can present.
