Pitching for Luck
Before stag and hen parties became a thing in Germany, we had Polterabend, a party before the wedding day usually with the wedding guests as well as all the friends who won’t come to the reception. One tradition is the actual “Poltern”, the guests break dishes and other crockery for luck. The first joint task of the couple is to clear up the debris to prepare them for married life. I have this personal theory that there is a finite amount of porcelain that is going to break in anygiven marriage and the plates and dishes broken on the polterabend are deducted from this, i.e. the more you break during that party, the less will be broken during the marriage.

When It’s All Over
the stage fright is gone.
I’ll share this photo – which I didn’t take – from the curtain call of a local production. Most stage actors will tell you that a little bit of stage fright is necessary for the right amount of energy to bring a performance to life. It usually dissipates after the first steps on stage and by the time the play is over it is hopefully replaced with the wonderful feeling of having giving a good performance.
Asparagus and Strawberries
The fields of the Rhine Valley are very fertile. Asparagus and strawberries are amongst the crops that are cultivated.
