One topic, many approaches: In a relaxed atmosphere, sipping a beer or a glass of wine, people come together to learn about a variety of topics – some serious, some not so serious.
Since 2012, the cultural salon has been undergone a revival in Munich: People gather to explore scandalous tales of Bohemia (Die Königinhofer Handschrift; Die Prager Tonfilmaffäre 1930) and to sample the region's iconic beverages (From Becherbitter to Becherovka; Budweiser and Co., Wine - víno - vínečko!). The topics range from the Vltava Lake to train travel to Schlaraffia, but also authors (Walter Serner, Franz Werfel, Louis Weinert-Wilton) have their say in readings, film adaptations and lectures, with fitting musical accompaniment. A revitalizing experience for the body, mind and soul!
