  • Name of Shop: Chocolaterie Stoffel

    Chocolaterie Stoffel is one of my favourite shops. Go there, have a look at the shop window, then after having seen that, go inside. Just stand there and smell! yummie, yummie! That shop is a shop for the senses! And for chocolate lovers , of course. I like "Bruchschokolade!, which means, that he breaks from a big part of chocolate (pic) as much as you want to have. At Easter, you get Easter bunnies there, at Christmas a Santa Claus made of chocolate. Usually you can choose between black, brown and white chocolate. I just bought the Mannheim landmark, the Water tower there. You can get a small as well as a bigger one, made of chocolate there. You can also buy wine there, of course a chocolate bottle. But I didn't try that until now.

    Mannheim Planken

  • One pedestrian zone of Mannheim is called Planken. It begins just on the other side of the water tower.
    In summer time there are lots of cafés, reastaurants, bars and ice cafés and great shops to spend your money.

    Mannheimer Dreck (dirt of Mannheim???): speciality of Mannheim

  • Name of Shop: Mannheimer Dreck (dirt of Mannheim???)


    What To Buy: If you look for a typical gift from Mannheimer, try "Mannheimer Dreck", perhaps it is in Endlish dirt of Mannheim. Usually I don't like to eat dirt, but the Mannheimer dirt is ok. It is a kind of spicy cake. This one I bought in Café Waegele.
    Mannheimer Dreck dates back to the early 19th century. There was a law which said that you have to pay 2 "taler" if people put their excrements on the street. A baker wanted to make a joke and made a kind of gingerbread with these ingredients: nut, almonds, marzipan, cloves, ... He put that into the window of his shop and calles it dirt of Mannheim! You can imagine, how happy his customers were....
    The Mannheimer Dreck you get today is still made with the original recipe and you also get a certificat.

    What To Pay: Depending on the size of the box you take.

     Halloele! 2 Verwandte von mir leben in "Mannem". Dachte auch immer die Stadt sei ein bisschen "quadratisch" & haesslich, aber Deine Tips zeigen auch die schoenen Seiten :-) Liebe Gruesse aus der Wueste (ich hab jetzt Heimweh!) / Jess

     I watched a webcam of the Water Tower for months prior to my trip to Germany. When I finally arrived at the Water Tower, I saw the sign "Blumepeterfest" but could not speak German, so did not know what it was all about. Thank you for explaining!

     Guten Tag I really enjoyed your pages on Mannheim. I have only been to Germany once but I truly fell in love with the country. I have friends in Wienheim I believe not too far from Mannheim? Kat
