Ludwig II of Bavaria loved Christmas. Already in Advent he was looking forward to the special magic and was enchanted every year by the glamor and rituals that surround this festival. Above all, the fairytale king loved Christmas trees and he can rightly be called one of the "fathers of the Christmas tree in Bavaria". How did Christmas Eve go with the royal children, who received presents and what was on the table of presents? Miraculous stories are also included in this royal Christmas book, such as “How Ludwig II sent the Christ Child from heaven to the Berger children”. Friends of the Bavarian King and everyone to whom Christmas means something special are invited to experience “Christmas with King Ludwig II” in a fairytale way.

In the fourth book by Norbert Neugirg, the lateral thinker of the Altneihauser Ehrwehr chapels, nothing and nobody is spared in the usual charming and outrageous way. Of course, e.g. the Zoigl beer, the Upper Palatinate and their love-hate relationship with the Franks and politics, big and small.

Some people love it lavishly, others are satisfied with a cup of coffee, there are jam lovers and supporters of sausage: we are talking about breakfast. The variety of options on offer is just as great as the preferences of the local visitors in the morning, and yes, such a breakfast can drag on until noon. Breakfast in Landshut - this book gives you the opportunity to get to know all different approaches, whether in the middle of the historic old town, in historic buildings or in small, hidden cafés in the alleys. Everyone can find their favorite place and breakfast here. Prominent people, who are in the most diverse connections to the city, reveal their preferred breakfast place and which breakfast they like to start the day with. Start your breakfast trip through Landshut!

The very idea of ​​Kaiserschmarrn, apricot patties or Reiberdatschi warms the stomach, brings well-being and reminds of smells, tastes and experiences in the kitchen of childhood.

If the grandmother cooked without a recipe, with a handful of flour and a pinch of sugar, if the recipes were not written down: this flour food book helps with cooking. With simple ingredients, a clear description, lots of photos and tips, traditional Bavarian pastries can also be done by inexperienced cooks. So there is no longer any fear of yeast dough! And the dishes cooked at home and photographed by yourself show that you can do the same!

Pastries are also fun for little ones, so my two-year-old granddaughter “supported” me enthusiastically. B. with apple strudel and finger noodles. And desserts not only taste as an independent main course, but also as a dessert or instead of cake with coffee.
