Even the Italians look enviously to Berlin, Because the city is in the summer in Europe Eisparadies. Only the Chancellor is licking. However, this may soon change, learned about Closing our columnist Gero.

With a beer mug, I have seen our Chancellor. But never with an ice cream in Hand. Angela Merkel has not given us this intimate moment. These unprotected second we stretch the tongue out and nimbly over the ice cream a walk in the Park.

Secret Eislieferungen to Merkel

Even if it is difficult: Angela Merkel, the ice verkneift in Public. Even here, while on holiday in Ischia

They could score points with a public Schleck second. Just in the election campaign. And, above all, in the eisverrückten Berlin, the is self-confident enough to put himself the crown of “capital of ice” on the summer heated home. Berlin! You deserve nothing else. 600 ice cream shops can’t be wrong, right? Including many start-UPS, especially of ice-Hipsters are operated to increase, young page no. 7,9 kilos of ice every German consumed, on average, every year. That makes a whopping 113 balls. In am sure: In Berlin, it is Double.

So, Chancellor. A walk in the Park for Germany. Or, of course, important – for the election victory. Yes, it is what is happening on the Merkel’s glacier front. As I know from good informed circles, the Chancellor’s office in regular intervals supply. Niko, Robert, the owner of the Berlin based cult ice cream parlor “Hokey Pokey” at Prenzlauer Berg, has confirmed that the DW exclusive.

Hokey Pokey has a cult status in Berlin: Niko, Robert, is the owner

Almost always he delivers in large quantities. Secret ice cream parties in the Chancellery so? Or exercise the Chancellor in larger quantities?

Berlin are in luck. The plates are to drive hours for a good ice cream. Here the Sweetness is so close. In Berlin’s Dolce Vita.

Mozartkugel and Moscow Mule

However, this has made the Job of the columnist is still exhausting. Cost of an ice cream parlor to the next: miss Frost, Woop Woop, vanilla&apricot, Sweet sin, California Pop, and so on. You don’t even know where to start and don’t want to stop. Earlier, there was only chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. And if it should be quite cosmopolitan, Stracciatella. God, what must be a bleak Childhood.

And today? My ice cream parlour around the corner has cooled to 20 varieties deep in his counter. And he changes daily. What a Eiswahnsinn! I recently discovered the Moscow Mule. And in the Mozart ball. Culture scientifically, this neighborhood may be ventured. But it tastes good. And who stays at vanilla sex, if he can have more?

Long queues undesirable

Chaos on the sidewalk: warning signs are to prevent the worst

The “ice cream”-daily Chaos begins when the kindergartens to close. Then the ice cream filling. Especially on the children of Prenzlauer Berg, where there is particularly many. Mothers and strollers of all kind of blocking the walkway. As for my ice-cream parlour “Rosa Canina”. On a sign, the “love Eisfreunde be asked”, but not in the house to Park entrance. However, in the Eisrausch the. Niko Robert of the “Hokey Pokey” has it hit trouble. The daily queues outside his ice cream shop were a Nuisance to the surrounding Gastro-competitive. It came to verbal abuse against the clientele. The poor ice cream man increased in his Distress, the prices, the customer deter. Frustrating result: The curiosity was even bigger, and the queues even longer.

Gourmeteis

I was wondering how to explain Berlin’s passion for the ice-cream. It is quite simple: ice cream is not just ice cream. It is now an ecological, hand-made and the ingredients are pure: Instead of chocolate powder, there is now a real chocolate. And real vanilla, and real Caramel. Gourmeteis from the Finest. And also has the largest Eismuffel soft.

Berlin is a columnist and the author of a Eisparadies Closing

For me, Berlin is in the summer, a Eisparadies. But I have to admit, in the beginning, I have swallowed quite nice for the price. As previously, the ice-cream man rang the bell, took the ball 30 Pfennig. Today, there are up to 1.80 euros. However, because of the prices it is not come so far to Eisaufstand. On The Contrary.

Almost all of Berlin’s love of the beautiful, new World of ice. Only the Italian restaurant around the corner. With him, it will be quiet. Spaghetti ice cream was yesterday. But the legendary Eispäpste from the South not get discouraged: they have already been spotted, most recently in the long queue of people in front of the “Hokey Pokey”. Obviously a very serious case of Eisspionage.
