December 21st 2021 - A different Christmas Party ...
Two years of restrictions due to the corona pandemic and no end in sight. It appears already odd to have many people sitting at a table in one room celebrating the upcoming Christmas festivities. In times like these you have to be flexible. So we decided to utilise our rooftop for a gathering. The regional trademark Bratwurst (sausage) must not be missed. Some hot wine helps to ignore freezing point temperatures. The weather played its part by sending some rays of sunshine.
