Great performance at the 9th Berliner Kellnerlauf

At the 9th Berliner Kellnerlauf (Service Staff Race) at the Kranzler Eck, the Berlin state champions of the hotel and restaurant trade were determined in seven categories on the Sunday shopping day. Participation in the race was once again very high despite the less than ideal weather conditions. A total of 66 waitresses and waiters, barkeepers, cooks, bellhops and beer delivery drivers competed in the 400-meter circuit down the Ku’damm and were watched live and celebrated by about 600 spectators.

Some of the previous year’s winners were able to defend their title and can once again call themselves the Berlin champions of the hotel and restaurant trade. One of them is serial winner Efstathios Stathiadis who won the bellhop race for the fourth time in a row and was the luck recipient of € 300 in prize money.

Juror and TV chef Ralf Zacherl was the special guest once again, cheering on his colleagues and rating their desserts.

We look forward to the anniversary edition in 2020, celebrating 20 years of the Kranzler Eck and 10 years of the Kellnerlauf.

Open Air Sommerkino: Blockbuster in City West

The outdoor summer cinema (Open Air Sommerkino) was once again a huge hit in 2018, almost magnetically drawing in visitors to the Kranzler Eck in Berlin. The program was split evenly between current hits and golden classics of cinema, with precisely these cinematic gems drawing the biggest crowds. The organisers had arranged around 200 deckchairs, and they were almost always completely occupied. Considerable queues formed at the ticket booth, particularly for the weekend showings, meaning those who came early had the choice of the best seats. Many visitors took advantage of the opportunity to combine the film event with a stroll around the location.

And visitors did not have to miss out on popular cinema snacks, with popcorn and cold beverages proving a sales hit. “There is no other shopping centre that has an outdoor cinema like this, at least not in City West. This helps us underscore that ‘real’ life still happens outdoors and not in front of a computer screen. When the weather plays along, an evening at the outdoor cinema in the Kranzler Eck is certainly one of the highlights in Berlin’s packed event calendar,” says the manager of the centre, Alexandra Meyder-Cyrus.
