As Germany marks 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, a nostalgic ‘Ost-West-Buffet’ showcases the stark culinary contrasts between East and West Germany. Guests enjoy traditional dishes like Jägerschnitzel and Eisbein, highlighting the different food experiences shaped by historical scarcity and availability. The event at the Spreewaldgasthaus aims to foster dialogue among guests about their past, reflecting on how these culinary traditions continue to influence perceptions of identity and regional differences. Despite changes, remnants of ‘Ossi’ and ‘Wessi’ labels persist in society.
