We are so delighted with the victory of German national team over Brazilians - the hosts team of 2014 FIFA World Cup. That's why we decided to publish unscheduled virtual tour over Berlin, and thereby to congratulate the German fans and all football fans on a historic victory.

German national team did the impossible yesterday at the Mineirão stadium in the Brazilian city Belo Horizonte. In the semifinal Brazilian team lost with atypical football score - 7:1. Brazilians had never lose so much in the history of the world championships. Great game of German national team provided fantastic result, so we deservedly congratulate Germany.

And here are few facts about capital of Germany, Berlin.

Berlin is the largest city of Germany. Also Berlin is the second most populous city and the fifth largest city in the European Union. As for the architecture of Berlin, the city has retained some features of medieval buildings. In the 18-19 centuries there were created to outline the correct square, wide streets, grand ensembles and baroque buildings. After World War II in both parts of the city have been restored historic buildings and residential areas. And some new districts were added.

Today Berlin is a world cultural center. This is a major European transport hub and one of the most visited cities on the continent. Universities, research institutions and museums in Berlin are known worldwide.

Hallmark of Berlin, of course, are the world-famous Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column, but apart from them, and Berlin has another striking symbol expressing the openness and tolerance of the German capital - Berlin Bear.

Kindertransport was the name given to the mission which took thousands of children to safety ahead of World War Two (1939-1945).

It helped 10,000 children to escape from Adolf Hitler's reign of terror in parts of Europe controlled by the Nazis.

It is called this as kinder means 'children' in German.

It was an extremely difficult experience for these children as they were told that they would need to leave their family and friends behind - and there was a chance they might never see them again. Their parents were not allowed to go with them.

Many had to learn a new language, as they didn't speak English, and lots of Jewish children were sent to live in non-Jewish households.

When was the Kindertransport?

The Kindertransport mission unfolded between November 1938 and September 1939, when World War Two broke out.

At the time, the Nazis were in power in Germany - and they were making life unbearable for Jewish people. Laws had been made which discriminated against them and many people were being murdered.

On 9 November 1938, there was a night of particularly terrible violence against Jewish people.

Ninety-one people murdered, 30,000 were arrested and sent to concentration camps, and 267 synagogues were destroyed.

It became known as Kristallnacht - the 'night of broken glass' - because there was lots of smashed glass all over the streets from shops that were raided.

Despite the Nazis' brutal regime, many countries had not wanted to take in such a great number of Jewish refugees to save them from what they were going through.

But after Kristallnacht, the British government agreed that some Jewish children under the age of 17 could temporarily come to Britain to safety.

Over the coming nine months, thousands were rescued.

The first Kindertransport from Berlin in Germany departed for the UK on 1 December 1938.

The first train from Vienna left on 10 December in the same year. When the German army entered Czechoslovakia in March 1939, trains were quickly arranged from here too, and transport also took children to safety from Poland in March and August 1939.

The last Kindertransport train to leave Germany departed from Berlin on 1 September 1939 - the very same day that Germany invaded Poland. Britain declared war on Germany two days later.

Who was rescued on Kindertransport?

Up to 10,000 youngsters from Germany, Austria Poland and Czechoslovakia arrived in the UK.

Children as young as five years old and up to the age of 17 were taken to safety.

Where did Kindertransport children go?

Some of the older children who had been rescued went to live in hostels. Meanwhile, younger children were sent to live with foster families.

The government did not pay for the children to be looked after, though. Each child had to have a sponsor to do this.

What happened after the war?

Many parents of children who had been rescued on Kindertransport were killed in the war.

So lots of children chose to stay in the UK and build new lives for themselves, as they had no family to go home to.

Others returned to their original home, while some rejoined their families who had resettled elsewhere, like in the US.

How do we remember the Kindertransport?

While the number of children rescued might not seem very high when you think that millions of Jewish people - including children - were killed by the Nazis, the story is a very important part of World War Two as it was a matter of life or death for the thousands who were rescued.

The children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who were rescued wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the mission which took these thousands of children to safety.

There is a statue at Liverpool Street Station in London, where the young refugees arrived 80 years ago.

Many survivors have talked about their experiences in order to help people to understand what it was like.

Germany has an incredibly rich literary tradition

The Gutenberg press (the revolutionary printing process with movable type) was invented in Germany, initially to print the Bible. In the year 1663, German poet and theologian Johann Rist published the philosophy periodical Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen, which is considered to be the first magazine in the world. Germany publishes around 94,000 titles every year, among the highest number on earth.

Germany was the first country in the world to implement Daylight Saving Time (DST) or summer time

This was put in place in 1916 while the First World War was on, to conserve energy.

The capital city of modern Germany has changed seven times

During the Carolingian times, Aachen used to be the capital of Germany. Over the years, Regensburg, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Berlin, Weimar and Bonn have served as the capital cities of Germany, in that order. Berlin has been the capital of the country since 1990.

Germany boasts almost 1,000 varieties of sausages!

The most popular sausage-based dish in Germany is currywurst, sausages smothered in spicy curry. An estimated 800 million currywurst are consumed in Germany every year. Such is the popularity of this classic dish that there is a museum dedicated to it in Berlin.

Germany is credited with several important inventions

Several things inextricably linked with our daily lives were invented in Germany, including the x-ray machine (by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895), the pocket watch, clarinet, gummy bears, cuckoo clock, diesel engine, paraffin, automated calculator, aspirin, fluorescent lamp, telephone, Fanta, LCD screen and the pregnancy test. Also, the globally reputed Adidas and Puma are German brands, started by brothers Adolf Dassler and Rudolph Dassler respectively.

The thumb stands for one in Germany

If you wish to order a single unit of something at a cafe, bar or a restaurant (let's say, a beer), you show your thumb and not your index finger. To order two, you use your thumb and index finger; to order three, you show your thumb, index finger and middle finger. See this excerpt from the movie Inglourious Basterds to know how crucial this is!

Germany boasts as many as 108 Nobel laureates

This is the third highest number in the world after United States of America and United Kingdom. The first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Germany was Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen for Physics in 1901, and the most recent was Joachim Frank for Chemistry in 2017. Legendary genius Albert Einstein (recipient of Nobel Prize for Physics, 1921) was German and born in the German city of Ulm.

Oktoberfest is actually an anniversary celebration

Oktoberfest is the longest-running anniversary celebration in history. The first Oktoberfest was held in honor of the Royal Wedding between Crown Prince Ludwig (who later ascended the throne as King Ludwig I) and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen on 12 October 1810.

Germany has a very high level of employment

The powerhouse economy of Germany has very high levels of employment. Studies conducted in 2016 exhibit that only 4.2 percent unemployment and the lowest youth unemployment in Europe was recorded in the country. Also, Germany implemented Minimum Wage in 2015, which currently (in 2018) stands at 1,498 euro per month.

Germany bakes 300 varieties of bread

Bread is a vital part of German cuisine and it's virtually impossible to walk a few hundred meters in the country without finding a tempting bakery. The country bakes a staggering 300 kinds of breads (not including regional variations) and almost 1,200 kinds of bread rolls and baked goods. Unsurprisingly, there are two bread museums in the country, in the cities of Ulm and Ebergötzen.

Germany has an unbelievable number of castles

The German landscape is dotted with over 20,000 castles! Many of these date back centuries and the vast majority are open to the public. Some of the castles house restaurants, hotels, cafes, museums, while a few are even up for sale.

Let's start with one of the most important questions of all: what is unique about Germany?

Well, cultural features like Lederhosen and Oktoberfest are rarely found elsewhere. But on a deeper level, the idea of a is distinctively German. This historical idea traces German history from the forests through to landed aristocracy, and modern life, while keeping German culture preserved.

When did Germany become a country?

German became an independent state in 1871, when the German Empire was proclaimed. However, some will say that Germany really became a modern country in 1990, when West and East Germany were reunited. And others will tell you that the German "nation" as a group of people sharing languages and stories, has existed for thousands of years. So it's actually a controversial question.

Anyhow, with history out of the way, let's look at some other German facts that shed a bit of light on how the nation works.

Interesting German facts:

Reading is a German obsession, and has deep roots in German culture. The magazine was invented in Germany in 1663, when Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen started delivering monthly philosophy updates from its Hamburg base. These days, Frankfurt's Book Festival is easily the largest of its kind in the world.

Beer plays a big role in German life, and it has done for generations. In fact, the world's oldest brewery is German. Weihenstephan Abbey has been brewing up its own varieties since 1040. Germans also consume 104 liters of beer every year - ranking them 4th in the world.

Bread is also a key symbol of German identity, and the country's 17,000 bakers create over 300 different styles.

Football dominates German recreation. There are 26,000 football clubs in Germany, with over 6 million members, and the national team is hugely successful, having won 4 World Cups.

Germans love music, but their tastes may differ from some nations. The biggest selling album ever in Germany is 2002's Mensch by actor Herbert Grönemeyer, which has sold 3.15 million copies (although Phil Collins is close behind).

Germans love to travel, and their money travels too. In fact, they spend more abroad than any other travelers, outspending even Americans.

Germans are also fiercely protective of their language and identity. So much so that movies are almost always dubbed into German using only local actors. This doesn't just help to promote German-speaking against the influence of Hollywood, it's also turned dubbing into a 115 million Euro industry.

Germany is a diverse, exciting, constantly surprising country, and there's always something new to discover, even for people who have lived there for decades. From sports and history to language, music, food, culture and technology, there's so much to find out. So what are some interesting facts about Germany?

The Fairy Tale Route

Ever wanted to see the cottage of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or spend a night in Sleeping Beauty's castle? To wander along the streets where Pied Piper lured away the rats with his magic pipe? Or stand in the kitchen where the witch tried to cook Hansel and Gretel?

All of this and more is possible along the German Fairy Tale Route, which stretches 600 km (373 miles) from the town of Hanau in central Germany to Bremen by the North Sea. The route revolves around the Brothers Grimm, including towns they lived and worked in as well as places linked to the fairy tales that they collected.

The Fairy Tale Road is the ultimate European road trip for everyone young at heart. Starting at the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, it stretches between medieval towns and romantic villages, highlands and riversides, eight nature parks and countless attractions.

Charming towns and villages

The picturesque towns along the route are, quite literally, straight out of a fairy tale. The quaint Alsfeld is where the house of Little Red Riding Hood still stands, the spa town of Bad Wildungen was home to Snow White, and the traveling musicians can be found along the medieval streets of Bremen (finally). A mountain at the scenic Hoher Meissner is where Mother Hulda is said to have resided, and the beautiful Hamelin is the origin of the Pied Piper legend.

The first edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales from 1812 can be seen in the lively university town of Kassel. Nearby, Hann. Münden is a gem of historic half-timbered architecture. And Marburg, where the Grimms once studied, is renowned for its medieval flair, churches and castles.

Stunning castles

Along the route are over 20 castles and palaces, some in picturesque ruin, others more spectacular than ever. According to legend, the 14th-century Sababurg Castle, deep within the forest and entwined by ivy, is where Sleeping Beauty once resided. The medieval Trendelburg Fortress (now a hotel) has a piece of another beloved fairy tale: Rapunzel Tower. And in Kassel, where Brothers Grimm lived and worked, awaits the spectacular Wilhelmshöhe Palace with cascading waterfalls, once home to kings to emperors.

Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, Kassel, Germany, +49 56131 680781
Breathtaking nature

The Fairy Tale Road weaves through scenic forests, the shores of the beautiful Weser and Fulda rivers, 11 nature parks, and two national parks. The picturesque Edersee in the Kellerwald-Edersee Nature Park is inviting for swims and boat rides, and the park's beech forests are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Hikers are treated to the Mother Hulda fairy tale trail through primeval forests and the Grimm trail across the lands where the brothers collected the legends, myths and fairy tales.

Fairy tale festivals

Throughout the year the fairy tale sites are populated by the legendary characters in open-air plays, festivals, puppet theatres, exhibits and medieval dinners. The towns of Hanau and Kassel host annual Brothers Grimm festivals, and fairy tales are regularly performed at Bad Wildungen, home of the legend of Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. And nothing rekindles the magic of childhood better than the bewitching Christmas markets of Kassel, Bremen, Hann. Münden as well as other towns along the Fairy Tale Route.

Germany is the land of fairy tales that gave the world Wilhelm Hauff and The Brothers Grimm, for example. Germany is also home to the most magical castle on the planet, Neuschwanstein Castle, the name of which translates as "The New Swan Cliff". It was built in the second half of the nineteenth century by Ludwig II of Bavaria, or as they called him, "The Fairy-Tale King".

Ludwig II holds a special place amongst other German rulers. What set him apart from his stringent and warrior-like predecessors was his romanticism and dreamy character, so much so that he channelled all of his statesman's passion (alongside with state funds) towards making his dreams come true, dreams of magical countries populated by fairy-tale creatures.

Disillusioned by the daily routines of Munich, Ludwig II was not interested in its problems. Instead, day by day he became more and more submerged in his own dream world. This gave the world several castles - Herrenchiemsee, Linderhof and Neuschwanstein, each one is a masterpiece of world architecture, enchanting us with its weightlessness and fairy-tale silhouettes with magnificent mountains as a backdrop.

Wartburg Castle was chosen as the model for Neuschwanstein as it is the only remaining castle from the feudal period in Bavaria. Ludwig the II's creation surpassed the original. At the time the King was very deeply moved by Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin", he saw himself in the opera's main character, the noble white swan-knight, a fairy-tale hero of the ancient legends. And with the help of architects he created his own "Swan Castle".

The walls of the castle depict the magical world of "The Song of The Nibelungs" ("Nibelungenlied"), medieval legends of Przival, Lohengrin and Tannhäuser, The Holy Grail, Tristan and Isolde... The masters spent a long time working very carefully on every hall and every panel painting, with every detail a true masterpiece. This is also the reason why the building work took so long and failed to reach completion even in Ludwig's lifetime. As an example, the wood carving in one bedroom took 14 carpenters 4 and a half years.

Yet the King had the incredible ability to combine fantasies with reality, and despite the castle's heavenly appearance, it was equipped with all the modern technology of its time. The rooms in the royal residence were fitted with hot air central heating, toilets were equipped with an automatic flushing system, electric bells were in place to summon servants and some floors even had telephones!

Neuschwanstein is first and foremost a true fairy tale made of stone. It became the prototype for the Sleeping Beauty castle in Disneyland Paris and a source of inspiration for Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Swan Lake". But in the end it drove the King insane, and instead of attending to the urgent duties of his country as a ruler, he went on expeditions, following the footsteps of Wilhelm Tell or had dinner with the spirit of Louis XIV. Night became day and day became night for Ludwig II and for that he was nicknamed The Moon King.

According to Bavarian law a king can be removed from power if found unfit to govern. It is not surprising then that eventually (in 1886) he was deposed. He was transported to the Berg Castle and died the next day in a lake under mysterious circumstances together, with the psychiatrist who diagnosed him as insane. These mysterious events have contributed to the intriguing image of the castle. Just two months after the King's death, the unfinished Neuschwanstein was open to visitors!

And it was the right thing to do. No stories or photos of Neuschwanstein can possibly depict its beauty. Once you have admired our aerial panoramas, we strongly recommend you see the fairy tale for yourself. Getting to Neuschwanstein Castle: there are trains and taxis available from nearby towns.
Neuschwanstein Castle https://neuschwanstein.de/
There are several other famous castles in the area surrounding Neuschwanstein, namely Hohenschwangau, Füssen and Schwangau. For the convenience of tourists, a special "romantic road" was created (Romantikstrasse), a special tour popular with visitors to Bavaria. The surrounding area also boasts ski slopes and special lifts to take skiers and tourists to the top of the Tegelberg Mountain. In general, even a whole day is not enough to fully enjoy the beauty and diversity of this place.

And now Sergey Semenov and Stas Sedov speak. They will tell us abour their trip to Neuschwanstein Castle.

This four-day trip had only one purpose - to shoot the famous Bavarian castle surrounded by colorful autumn trees. We waited for the precise moment, when leaves turn red, green and orange for the short period of time.

Technically the photo shoot of this type shouldn't take more than two days. However, we decided to give it some extra time... As it turned out, it was a wise decision. Mountains stay mountains (even if it's just low foothills of Alps in Southern Bavaria), so the weather is rather unpredictable there. It is also worth mentioning, that the only time when the castle is perfectly lit for the photo is that short 30-minutes window in the morning. Afterwards the sun travels leaving only the sidewall of the castle in light.

We arrived. But apparently the weather didn't want to cooperate. Day one - it was raining all day; photo shoot was canceled. Day two - the same thing.

On the third day the weather tricked us again. The thick fog covered everything from the very morning. Regardless, we were full of optimism, so we climbed the mountain above the castle, and then descended into the valley, hoping to find a clearing. No luck. Finally after three hours of waiting we decided to shoot the castle at any cost.

However, there are no good shooting spots when the visibility is 30-40 meters. Except for one - right from the center of the castle! Although it's rather risky to fly and shoot in the castle...

Anyhow, we took our chance. Thank God that all the tourists were asleep at such an early hour. The take-off was very difficult due to heavy fog, which was in reality 100% humidity. It condensed large drops of water on the equipment, so we had to be quick. There was no time to go back and correct mistakes.

Our RC helicopter took off and quickly disappeared into the fog. All we had was the screen of our laptop with blinking control lights and short beeps of the height sensor in Stas's headphones. The time passed very slowly.

In a few minutes, here it was - our helicopter returned from the white foam of the fog, all wet, as if it was in a shower. Everything was covered with large drops of water: the helicopter, the camera, and the lens. Nevertheless, the equipment did its job just fine, and we immediately returned to our hotel room to dry it.

So this is the story of shooting this spherical panorama.

We spent the following day waiting, and only on the forth day did nature smile at us. The weather was wonderful and we shot, and shot, and shot...

Learn how to make Authentic German Pork Schnitzel the way your favorite German restaurants make it. All the tips and tricks are included for making the absolute PERFECT schnitzel!

Okay, everyone, here it is! Drumroll...

How to make perfect Schnitzel!

As much as I love to cook - and being from Germany - it would be unforgivably inexcusable, a total outrage, if I didn't know how to make Schnitzel! After all, it's the quintessential German dish. Every tourist to Germany has had Schnitzel and most fall in love with it. (I suppose there are the occasional odd individuals who don't like it, and there's sadly just no helping them).

Most Americans associate Schnitzel with Wienerschnitzel. "Wienerschnitzel" is actually a geographically protected term in Germany and Austria and can only be made with veal. This traditional German Schnitzel is prepared the same way as Austrian Wiener Schnitzel. The only difference - German Schnitzel is made with pork (my preference) instead of veal. As for where the Schnitzel originally came from...the technique of breading and frying thin cuts of meat is attributed to the Romans from around 1 BC. Another little tidbit: Austrians will be the first to admit that Wienerschnitzel doesn't come from Wien (Vienna).

But whether it's Schweineschnitzel or Wienerschnitzel, when it's perfectly breaded, perfectly fried, and perfectly crispy, practically everyone loves a good Schnitzel! And now you can make it - perfectly - in your own kitchen!

Throughout the pictured recipe steps below, I'm going to share some tips and tricks with you that are important for achieving perfect results - like the kind of Schnitzel you'd get at a German restaurant - so be sure to read.

As already mentioned, Schnitzel is traditionally served with and gravy, Pommes (fries), or Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat (German vinegar-based potato salad - it's the best!). Additionally, it's usually served with a leafy green salad.

Don't forget to check out this authentic recipe for Homemade German Spätzle.

Here is the link to the best Restaurant-Style Schwäbischer Kartoffelsalat to serve on the side!

The most popular variations of Schnitzel is Jägerschnitzel ("hunter schnitzel", served with a rich mushroom gravy), Zigeunerschnitzel ("gypsy schnitzel", served with a zesty bell pepper sauce), and Rahmschnitzel ("cream schnitzel" served with a rich cream sauce).

Be sure to also try our recipe for Authentic German Jägerschnitzel!

All three are commonly found in German restaurants and both are positively delicious. When served plain, Schweineschnitzel (simply "pork schnitzel") is usually garnished with a slice of lemon and a sprig of parsley, as pictured.

Watch How To Make Authentic German Schnitzel!

Let's get started!

The first key to achieving the perfect Schnitzel is to pound it very thin, no more than 1/4 inch thick. The reason this is important is because you'll need to fry it at high heat for a short period of time to get that perfect crispy crust without leaving the middle of the meat raw.

The easiest way to pound the pork is to lay it between two pieces of plastic wrap. Be sure to pound them using the flat side of a meat mallet.

Lightly sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.

Have all of the "dipping bowls" laid out at the same time so you can move from one to the other quickly. Lay out two plates and a shallow bowl: Fill with flour/salt, lightly beaten eggs, and plain breadcrumbs (not panko).

Dip the pork into the flour, coating all sides.

Next dip the pork into the egg mixture, coating all sides.

Then coat the pork with the breadcrumbs. The next key to achieving the perfect Schnitzel: Don't press the breadcrumbs into the meat. Just softly coat the pork on both sides and all edges, and then gently shake off any excess.

The next key is to immediately fry the Schnitzels. Don't let them sit in coating or the end result won't be as crispy. You don't need a ton of oil, but you need enough so that the Schnitzels can "swim".

The final key is to make sure the oil is hot enough - but not too hot. It should be around 330ºF - test it with a candy thermometer. If it's too hot, the crust will burn before the meat is done. If it isn't hot enough, you'll end up with a soggy coating. When the oil is hot enough it will actually penetrate the coating less and you'll end up with a crispy "dry" coating instead of an overly oily one. The result will be a beautifully crispy coating with a tender and juicy interior, and that's exactly what we want.

Remove the Schnitzel from the fry pan and place them briefly on a plate lined with paper towels. Transfer them to serving plates and garnish with slices of lemon and fresh parsley sprigs. Serve immediately with Spaetzle, French fries, or German potato salad and a fresh leafy green salad.

This German Cheesecake (AKA Käsekuchen) is as authentic as it gets! When given to my German neighbors, they declared it "tastes like home" and gave it 5 stars!

So I am kind of in love with my German neighbors.

I discovered they were German when I delivered leftover treats to our apartment complex's clubhouse and they were in there. At first I thought their accent (they were speaking in lower voices) was French, and I got excited to use my 10-year old rusty French I learned in high school to communicate with them. But then I found out they spoke German, and I took that as a challenge to learn it!

We got to talking and they got used to me bringing in treats to share, so one day, they offered me some cookbooks to look through since they know I love baking. The only problem: the cookbooks and cooking magazines were all in German!

(Thank god for Google Translate!)

They casually mentioned that German Cheesecake is so different from American cheesecake - lighter, fluffier, and very delicious. American cheesecake can be quite dense, and I was intrigued by this fluffy cheesecake, so I decided to translate one of the cooking magazines advertising pages of käsekuchen (aka, cheesecake) and make it myself.

After lots and lots of typing into Google Translate (and a brief meltdown regarding what quark is) I had a recipe and I whipped it up immediately. (Oh, and BTW - quark is the German answer to cream cheese. However, if you cannot find quark in your grocery store, this tastes amazing with whole-milk ricotta cheese! )

Some tips before diving in to this German classic:

This recipe uses vanilla sugar and vanilla pudding powder, both of which are German ingredients you can find at an international supermarket or somewhere like World Market, which is where I found mine. Dr. Oetker is the brand, and if you click the hyperlinks above, it'll take you to Amazon where you can purchase these ingredients. As far as substitutions go, you could definitely use vanilla extract in place of the vanilla sugar, but the vanilla pudding powder is a must! (I have not tried this with Jell-O pudding, but I am assuming it would work).

The crust is a shortbread-like crust that is so delicious with this cheesecake. You could also use graham crackers like an American cheesecake.

This cheesecake tastes similar to traditional American cheesecake but has a lighter and fluffier texture. You could always experiment by adding in fresh fruit or even chocolate to the cheesecake batter before baking.

The secret to this cheesecake being light and fluffy has to do with the different type of cheese the Germans use: quark. I know it kind of sounds like a Pokemon character, but it has a different texture to cream cheese. Again, if you cannot find quark, use ricotta! (Full confession: I could not find quark, so I used whole-milk ricotta which my neighbors assured me was very similar to quark.)

And the other secret? Separating the eggs! The stiffened egg whites get folded into the batter which makes it extra airy and light, unlike traditional American cheesecake. The result is a gorgeous, cloud-like cheesecake you've got to try!

Genießen! (Enjoy!)

The very first Haribo gummy bear was created in 1922. A bit taller and thinner than today's bear, it was modeled after the dancing bear. (From the Middle Ages through the last century, street performers kept brown bears, forcing them to entertain crowds by pulling on a chain attached to a ring in their nose.)

Suffering in the East German Stasi prison | DW | 14.08.2017

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The East German secret police, the Stasi, often subjected inmates to physical and psychological torture to extract information. Arno Drefke was one of them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Siblings Franz Hildebrandt-Harangozó and Antonia Hildebrandt were born after the fall of the Berlin Wall and grew up in a reunified Germany. They study in Berlin and live not far from Bernauer Strasse, where the wall once divided the city. On weekends, they like to party at the nearby Mauerpark. Every Sunday people from all over the world come to the former death strip between East and West Berlin to enjoy an open-air festival with live music, a flea market and street artists. But the two young Berliners still feel that the wounds left by the Cold War division have not yet healed and want to find out why.

Their search for answers starts in their own family. Regine and Jörg Hildebrandt, Antonia and Franz´s grandparents, saw with their own eyes how the wall was built in 1961, right on their doorstep. But they made a conscious decision to stay in East Berlin. They wanted to change the country from the inside out. Frauke Hildebrandt, their mother, fled to West Germany in the summer of 1989, shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Grandmother Regine Hildebrandt became a politician after the fall of the Berlin Wall and tried to speak out for people from the former East.

But Antonia and Franz do not rely only on their family for information about the way the division of Germany influenced people from the former East Germany. They also travel around the eastern part of Germany themselves and see firsthand how the decadeslong schism is far from resolved.

In the "Careers" section, you can apply for a job with the controller. If you are using this portal to apply for a position at HPM Hanseatische Premium Marken Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH (hereinafter "HPM"), we will forward your personal data to HPM. Where we inform you in the following on how we process your data, the information provided will also apply mutatis mutandis to HPM.

9.1 Your personal data is collected and processed by us in order to make a decision on whether or not to hire you.

9.1.1 The legal basis for this processing is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with section 26 of the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz; BDSG). Moreover, personal data may be processed on the basis of other labour or social regulations, and in particular under the Works Constitution Act, as amended. Where a processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, such processing is based on point (c) of Article 6 (1) GDPR.

9.1.2 Personal data that are processed in order to make a hiring decision, will be erased when they no longer need to be processed in order to make the hiring decision. The duration for which the data is stored therefore depends on the duration of the decision-making process.

If you are sending us a spontaneous application - i.e., an application not sent in response to a specific position advertised by us - we will likewise process your personal data in order to decide on whether to hire you or not. The above applies mutatis mutandis if, in our opinion, it is not foreseeable that your personal data could potentially be used for a hiring decision.

9.2 Under certain circumstances it is possible that your personal data will be used to assert, pursue or defend against legal claims if you or the controller have or assert any legal claims.

9.2.1 In such cases, the legal basis is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Pursuant to point (f) of Article 6(1) f GDPR a processing of personal data is lawful if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or rights in preventing such processing. The legitimate interests of the controller or a third party then lie in the assertion of, pursuit of, or defence against legal claims.

9.2.2 In the individual case, this may result in a storage duration that extends beyond the hiring decision. For example, this would be the case if we have reason to believe that you will be asserting claims against the controller. In such case, the data will be stored for as long as a processing of the data is required in order to assert, pursue, or defend against legal claims, and the storage duration criteria may include the periods provided for in the General Act on Equal Treatment (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz; AGG) and the Labour Court Law (Arbeitsgerichtsgesetz, ArbGG) (Sec. 15 para. 4 sentence 1 AGG; Sec. 61 b ArbGG) as well as limitation periods or statutory retention periods. Moreover, data may also be stored if provided for or required by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions by which the controller is governed.

9.3. If you have given us your consent to the processing of your personal data, the data processing is based (or also based) on this declaration of consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). When you submit your application you can give us permission to store your applicant data on a permanent basis so that we may contact you if there is a possibility that you could be considered for a future position. If you have consented to an indefinite storage, your data will not be erased unless and until you withdraw your consent.

9.4 The following categories of recipients may receive your applicant data:

HPM Hansetische Premium Marken Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH, if you apply for a position with HPM Hansetische Premium Marken Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH;

External service providers that provide services for us as contract data processors or based on other service contracts (e.g., IT services, banking services, communication services, services in the area of our financial administration and storage media destruction services);

public authorities, if applicable (e.g., the Federal Employment Agency);

if applicable, the works council, the representative for the severely handicapped, or the equality officer (in each case, within the scope of their statutory responsibilities);

If applicable, the courts in connection with litigation and other legal disputes;

If applicable, lawyers in connection with litigation and other legal disputes as well as for legal advice;

If applicable, HR service providers including HR consultants that help us with our hiring decisions.

9.5 A transmission of your applicant data to other states outside of the European Union is not intended but - to the extent it is lawful - it is also not precluded.

9.6 Where you have consented to the collection and processing of your data as part of the application process, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time; however, this does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Moreover, the lawfulness of a processing of the data on other legal bases will not be affected.

You are not obligated to provide personal data in order to participate in the application process. However, without the information required in order to assess your suitability and availability as well as an order to get in touch with you, we cannot proceed with the application process.

Pocket-sized souvenirs

Germany basically invented British Christmas (thanks, Queen Victoria!), a cosy, candle-lit family celebration that eventually morphed, thanks to assists from Tin Pan Alley and Coca-Cola, into the holiday extravaganza America knows and loves today. Germany has since recognised its outsized influence on this most nostalgic of holidays and now sells tangible Christmas cheer to tourists at every possible opportunity. Christmas markets are the best place to pick up carved wooden ornaments, high art crêche figurines and that windmill that turns because of candles. If it is important that the piece is made in Germany, be prepared to dig deep. Most of the cheaper ornaments come from China.

The 155-kilometre (96.3-mile) Berlin Wall is the souvenir that keeps on giving. How can you tell if your little baggie is full of legit pieces of the wall and not a little bit of the neighbour's graffitied basement? Does it really matter? The Berlin Wall Memorial sells bits with a certificate of authenticity, but the best option is to hack off a chunk yourself with tools provided by the Westin Hotel.

An iconic symbol of East Germany invented by psychologist Karl Peglau, the Ampelmännchen (Little Light Men) has become a hot souvenir item in Berlin. After unification, the little guys were due to get the axe and be replaced by the less charming Western image. Designer Markus Heckhausen stepped in to save the day, and now tourists the world over can enjoy sunglasses, shot glasses, ice cube trays, chalkboards and even pasta, which all bear the mark or even come in the shape of this intrepid little street crosser. Visit the Ampelmännchen shop near Konzerthaus Berlin or order online.

Suitcase-sized souvenirs

They're hideous and impractical, but nothing says Germany quite like a beer stein - maybe a cuckoo clock, but they are expensive and fragile as well. A great buy for uncles or fathers-in-law, choose from stone, porcelain, glass or pewter, with a lid or without. The Silver Bullet never knew such style.

It looks gross on the box, and it tastes gross in your mouth, but many Germans swear by sauerkraut juice as a cure for what ails you, particularly stomach complaints. Supposedly, there is something about the milk and vinegar mixing together with your stomach acid to calm the roiling down. It's available at any grocery store. For extra Deutsch realness, package the juice with a box of medicinal dirt.

Nothing says Christmas in Germany like setting fire to rum soaked sugar in the middle of the dining room table. Seriously. A Feuerzangenbowle is a way to prepare mulled wine in a manner that makes everyone want to take part. Special equipment is needed, as a normal punch bowl will explode when it comes in contact with either of the two flames. It's fun, but a little hard on Grandma's clean, white carpet. Buy this in any department store - look for Karstadt or Kaufhaus or just ask an older person near you in the café.

While this souvenir is an obvious one, it's not budget-friendly. Lederhosen for men (and sometimes women) and dirndls for ladies (and, why not, sometimes men too) are the traditional clothing in Bavaria, the state in the south of Germany that touches the Alps and includes Munich. Beautiful silk dirndls start at about 800€, and a quality pair of deer leather lederhosen go for at least 400€.

A warning: Lederhosen are never washed, instead kept soft by the wearer's natural oils, which is something to bear in mind when you spy a pair at a second-hand shop.

Going to need a shipping crate-sized souvenirs

Germany is an old place, and for all the time that there have been people here, there has been some type of furniture. This fact means that Germany, along with the rest of Europe, has a lot of beautiful old furniture that just can't be found in the US or Canada. Well, it can, if a furniture dealer imports it, but that's not as fun as finding something yourself. Whether sourcing your own treasures is cheaper than having an expert do it for you is open to debate, but any reputable antiques dealer can help you sort out shipping.
