Germany - former East-Germany





Talk with someone who visited the former DDR and - like us - everybody admires the beautiful tree lined streets. Not only linden trees but large oak trees.
Our goal was to meet with the 'Hausherr' of Schloss Grube who we know from long time. He had bought a 'fixer upper' and restored this 'Herrenhaus' in the last four years in such a careful way that they got the Brandenburgischen Denkmalpreis 2010!



The all day festivities in Schloss Grube with sunshine and ca 1000 visitors was a moving theater performance by a few professional actors and many lay actors from the village Grube.

Sausages, fish and a grilled pig was the food and
the ladies of the village baked many cakes:


This cake was explained to me as a one known during DDR times and made with red, yellow and blue food coloring...... mmmmm.
