From show-off Stollen to Stollen etiquette
Dresden Christstollen is considered the oldest Saxon finger food. From October, it will be baked again and shipped to 190 countries. A visit to Saxony’s best-known ambassador of enjoyment
Germany
Everyone wants stollen!
For the winter issue of a gourmet magazine, we went to a Dresden stollen bakery in June. The original Dresden Christstollen has an eventful history and is today Saxony’s best-known ambassador of enjoyment. The fact that Dresden Christstollen is so popular also has to do with Augustus the Strong, who, just like us, did not adhere to the Stollen Etiquette, according to which one eats the first Christstollen on Christmas Eve. From the “Protzstollen” to the “Stollen Knigge”…

A Tesla is a Tesla. Who is Tesla?
Travel educates and museum visits broaden the horizon. Thank you Museum for Utopia and Everyday Life in Eisenhüttenstadt (former GDR) that I now think of so much more than the strange Mr. Musk when I hear the name Tesla!

Cheating during Lent
Not angels, but monks once sent beer to the Pope in Rome. His blessing for a fasting beer was quickly granted, because it tasted so awful after the long journey that he found it worthy of a fasting drink and granted the monks 5 liters per day. Here now more cheating of the clergy against their own fasting laws.
Soccer idols on murals
If you love soccer but not the World Cup in Qatar, you might get a lot of enjoyment out of a book by Andy Brassell during your downtime: Football Murals
Dead Zone at Charcoal Fire
The campfire has a magical attraction. It is the place where stories are told and experiences are passed on from generation to generation.
Everyone is a monument
In Kassel stands the ICH monument. The pedestal made of red sandstone, is an invitation to each and everyone to stand up for a selfie and feel unique.
Monument and city
Cities have a comparatively high density of monuments. If you wanted to understand all the monuments, you would never get anywhere in many cities.
Licorice and licorice
Every child knows licorice. Licorice, on the other hand, is as forgotten as the dial telephone. Once upon a time, licorice was the only natural sweetener in the kitchen besides honey.
