About this tour
This session moves around Pfunds Molkerei, a working dairy shop known for its tiled interior. You see painted ceramic panels that have decorated the walls since the 1890s. The session finishes at the counter, where dairy products are still sold daily alongside the sightseeing.
We open with a short sound check just inside the door, since the shop can be busy. I move slowly around the tiling, since the detail rewards a closer look from several angles, and take questions throughout. Afterwards I send a short note on the shop's history and a few products worth trying.
This suits anyone with an interest in decorative tilework or unusual working shops. It also works well as a short session alongside a longer Neustadt walk.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city
