a bit sneaky there using some misinformation to throw us off.

When I searched kurfuersten-stube, I got the wrong place town, but with Spargel in mind, i was able to find the right one.

Unfortunately, I dont have anymore pictures to share that qualify, so I'll have to let someone else take this one.

 

I just love how enthusiastic the Germans are about their Spargel that they've made a monument about it. Thanks for sharing :)

 

Hello Phil,

 

I don't see a group of statues commemorating Spargel as being "enthusiastic". I think a more accurate word would be "reasonable".

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hello,

 

the town in question claims to be "The capital of Asparagus" and organizes annually their "Spargelfest" during the peak season. Any visitor could confirm that it is "reasonable" to get at least a little "enthusiastic".

Michael,

I meant no disrespect by referring to the German culture as being enthusiastic about Spargel, but certainly I can see that just a single monument would exemplify just a reasonable glimpse into German life during the Spring when that vegetable is in season. However, in my limited travels in Germany I find it wonderful that they really embrace and celebrate this seasonal vegetable with Spargelkarten at many restaurants. It was to this overall phenomena, in combination with the monument, in which I was really referring to as enthusiasm. I'm having a hard time thinking of any other place I've visited that devotes an entire page of menu to one seasonal ingredient like the Germans do with Spargel. I love it and am very excited for a nice Spargelsuppe and some Spargel mit Hollandaise when I return in a few weeks.

 

Best regards,

Phil

 

 

And to everyone else, Arto just gave a huge hint to find this city. Good luck!

OK, as long as no one minds. Do you know this building?
