Defftig Ollnborg Gröönkohl-Äten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Defftig Ollnborger Gröönkohl-Äten in Berlin is an event of the Lower Saxon city of Oldenburg , which primarily serves to maintain contacts in the federal capital. In addition, every year Oldenburg business leaders, politicians, scientists and cultural workers come together with representatives of state and federal politics. Traditionally, kale and pee are served.

history

When Jan Eilers , then City Director , asked whether Federal President Theodor Heuss would visit Oldenburg, he replied: “Come up with something genuinely Oldenburg and come to Bonn with it . Then I'll join in too. " Then the idea of eating kale was born in 1956. Since then, the tradition of the Defftig Ollnborger Gröönkohl-Äten has been maintained. In 1998 the event was moved to Berlin and the meal was served in the Opernpalais Unter den Linden. The city has been inviting its guests to the premises of the Lower Saxony state representation since 2002 .

Since 1956 the Gröönkohl-Äten has only been canceled twice: in 1962 because of the storm surge in 1962 and in 1991 because of the Second Gulf War .
