Not ten minutes west of Lake Tachingen, something special has emerged: At Christandl Hof, Laura Gehricke and Tina Fedeli have created a store for handcrafted products by makers & crafters from the neighborhood, whose products are potted, turned or woven.
For example, the colorful, Scandinavian-style stoneware by Tittmoning potter Bianca Wesnitzer, wooden kitchen utensils by the Potocki couple, or ceramics by Elisabeth and Thomas Heimbucher, who call their brand Töpferei Strandbad, because they also run the Chieminger lido. Wooden bowls and vessels by Nöstelbach wood sculptor Marco Brückner are also represented here.
Next to the store with its cool columned hall, the courtyard kiosk will also open in summer 21 and promises local delights made with love, such as coffee and cake. The store and kiosk are also perfect for sitting down for a refreshing or invigorating drink to chat and be glad that something like this still exists – or exists again.

Doing something by hand can change a lot. Buying something handmade out of conviction can do the same. It changes – or has already changed – the way we think. Especially when it comes to our food. What do we buy? Who made it? What can we perhaps grow ourselves? How do our actions and decisions change, first ourselves, then our purchases, then the landscape?
Every sourdough – that culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a mixture of flour and water – is unique, like a fingerprint, because in every region there are individual bacteria in the air that give each loaf its very own flavour. One person who knows more about the infinite variety of sourdough cultures than most – whose culture is culture, so to speak – is the Belgian Karl De Smedt, keeper and archivist of Europe’s only sourdough library.
It’s virtually impossible to miss Julius Brantner Brothandwerk if you’re a fan of baked goods and find yourself in Munich. The charming Swabian baker has recently opened his second location, the first being such a success. With his team working transparently behind large glass windows, Julius strives to make “honest and trustworthy handling of all ingredients and processes accessible,” he says. Unsurprisingly, locals and tourists flock to the shopfront to sample their aromatic bread and delectable treats.
