Political Berlin institutions also include several restaurants: “Borchardt”, “Bocca di Bacco” and perhaps the most famous cafe in the republic, “Einstein Unter den Linden”. Much has already been said and written about them, but the same applies to the Interior Ministry or CDU.
Like these, restaurants are also subject to globalization. They are changing. A visit on Wednesday lunchtime shows how things are going with “Einstein” these days. Meeting with a mentor.
“Anyone who wants to be seen goes there”
The day before, a quick survey by FAS among members of the Bundestag who are considered to be well-connected showed that they had mixed feelings about the site. When asked if he goes there occasionally, the CDU’s foreign policy expert Roderich Kiesewetter replied: “Whoever wants to be seen and wants to see who is there goes there. I only go there if I can’t avoid it. ” He did not arrange appointments there himself.
The deputy chairman of the SPD parliamentary group, Dirk Wiese, is in the same way: “The coffee there is good. But otherwise it’s not really my thing. Looking and searching too much. “It’s too far. It takes too much time.”
The judgment of FDP politician Frank Schäffler seems to be completely different. Everyone knows Einstein, it’s within walking distance of my office and it has good Austrian food. “
Anyone who has ordered Viennese fried chicken, which is traditionally served on a napkin, can confirm this; Side dish: potato salad. The waiter chooses mushroom goulash with napkin filling and extra fries. The fried chickens are brought to the table very hot, which, as with everything in the bread, is half a dozen. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside – most guests quickly accept the 32 euros they are charged for.
On this day, at the next table, a group of six enthusiastic business people were celebrating a business deal; It was past half-past twelve when the first glasses of sparkling wine were served. However, “Einstein” is more important than ever. There is a political activity on summer vacation, many tables are free.
Anyone sitting here now can be more attentive than usual, so it happens that the giver writes a few bullet points on paper – for lack of anything else, on a postcard from Marrakech – and intelligently slides them across the table. Cheers can be heard from the next table.
