A Concise Commentary on Boxing In Germany

If you think that boxing only exists in America, then you are absolutely wrong because Germany is making ready for the upcoming boxing event in Munich on the last day of March this year. This is not the first time that Germany will host such occasion, though, because celebrated title holders like Wladimir Klitschko and Nikolai Valuev train and had several fights in this country.

Thanks to witty German promoters, such as Sauerland Event from Berlin, boxing has become publicly known all over Germany. Interested people can simply do two things to witness this astounding occasion: watch it live or on TV. Those who choose the former can have fun watching their cherished sports with their families at home while those who prefer the latter will absolutely have memorable days. If I were given the moment, I would go for the latter because I'm such a avid boxing fan.

So far, in the field of boxing, Germany has created many legends; the most celebrated among them is Max Schmeling. A celebrated German heavyweight exponent, this boxing legend died in 2005 while he was sleeping at age 99. The celebrated rumor about Schmeling was that his final goal in life was to live until he reached 100 years old, but unfortunately, he passed away and missed just 8 months before he turned 100.

An Enchanting Treshold to the History of Germany

Medieval castles form a great view especially if they are set against a lush background of trees and steeps, used to be a shelter for several disciples of religion, world history, and the arts, and was a setting to endless legends and myths. Wartburg Castle is surely a medieval fortress that captures every sightseer’s attention because of its grand picture and historical significance, enough to be hailed as the "Outstanding Monument of the Feudal Period in Central Europe" under the “World Heritage List.”

Located on top of a hill in Eisenach, Wartburg Castle bestows superb views of a verdant garden below and an azure sky above. But more than its splendid views, this castle has been a tourist attraction because of its wholeness, which is a tangible reminder of the past centuries. Various eminent personalities made Wartburg Castle a temporary dwelling and a location for historical events. Martin Luther, for one, stayed in the Wartburg Castle starting from 1521 to 1522, wherein he made a German format of the Bible’s New Testament. St. Elisabeth of the Catholic Church, meanwhile, stayed in the castle since she was four and made the castle her stage while applying miraculous acts. On the other hand, right before Napoleon’s fall, a fraternity gathered together in the palace to celebrate Germany’s feat and to call for improved national unity.

Certainly, more than an enchanting tourist spot, Wartburg Palace is a treshold to Germany’s and the religion’s history.

Fast Score About German Munchies

I find the Germans as very alluring people because when I got to Germany for the first time, I realized that they are sociable and are very rational. Apart from this, I liked the munchies that they served at the restaurants although they are not very unique and distinct compared to the dishes of other countries. I also like the fact that the familiar munchies of the Germans have pretty amusing past and forms. Just take the beer, lads' favorite booze, as an example. Did you know that this cold and mouthwatering booze is served as ice cream in Germany? I was really amazed when a chummy of mine who stayed in Germany for five years told me about it! He said that in some restaurants, beer ice cream that is in Popsicle form is served and is a favorite of most visitors! He also added that the alcoholic amount of this beer ice cream is actually less than that of the conventional beer.

Another score that I learned is about the dainty potato salad. I never thought that the very conventional meal like the potato salad originated from Germany. Back in the 17th century, it was presumed that the use of spices and vinegar to mix with potatoes became a trend. The potato salad in Germany is always readied warm and is a pleasing appetizer. I am so ecstatic to go back to Germany and discover more about the country and its cuisines.

Germany's Promising Latest Fashion Designer: The Unusual Frank Leder

During a recent expedition to Germany, I was able to catch a glimpse of one of Europe's renowned German fashion designer, Frank Leder. His fabulous creations consist of men's wear in simple cuts and colors dashed with that distinct Frank Leder look. Leder's creations might look conventional and simple, but when given a second look, you will notice how he incorporates his somewhat unpredictable personality into an outfit.

Based in Berlin, this unusual designer was born in Nuremberg, but graduated with a degree in fashion design at the notable Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. As a diligent student, Leder was resolved to conquer the fashion world, as he already started to create his novel collection. In order to expand his inventive horizons, he created and implemented several fashion exhibitions, and became the artistic director of many fashion magazines such as "Qvest," Sleaze," and "ID:Magazine." Leder was primarily based in London but he returned to his home country to further develop his own fashion label, "Frank Leder," and his collaborative label with Michael Ellis, which is known as "Raw Power." Today, his astonishing creations can be seen and bought from certain exclusive fashion shops located in Berlin.

A Customary German Hotel Dreaming to be Different

Most hotels in Germany, and even in other places, present only breakfast meals to their guests, but Hotel Konigshof am Funkturm dreams to be different from the rest. Its in-house restaurant is ordinarily open and serves all chief meals.

Aside from that, the hotel also offers several inviting facilities that should make your German tour unquestionably enjoyable and relaxing. Such attractions include a garden terrace, a reading room, a bar, a library, a club room where minor events can be held, and five divergent meeting rooms that can accommodate as many as 130 people.

The hotel rooms are constructed with standard but state-of-the-art amenities like Internet access, direct dial phone, a mini fridge, satellite TV, radio, heater, and a private bathroom. These accommodations, however, are made more remarkable by the sound-proof quality of the rooms and by other interesting introductions like a balcony which is available only in selected rooms.

Hotel Konigshof is excellently situated in central Hanover, and guests coming from the chief railway terminal of the town can easily get to the hotel on foot which should take only several minutes. From the hotel, sightseers can expect to get instant connections to various Hanover spots, including exhibition centers, the Hanover airport, and underground passageways.
