Timberland team wins the Kranzler Eck Runners’ Cup held as part of the Kellnerlauf (Service Staff Race) in Berlin.

Did the team win thanks to the right shoes or the well-trained runners? Either way, the staff of the outdoor-lifestyle specialists from Timberland won the second edition of the Kranzler Eck Runners Cup with a considerable lead ahead of the second-place finishers. This relay race sponsored by local tenants is developing into another highlight held during the traditional Kellnerlauf at the Kranzler Eck. Even TV chef Ralf Zacherl, who as a member of the jury had an eye out for his colleagues, was impressed by the dynamic sprints covering 400 meters.

Last year’s defending team, Lululemon, had to acknowledge their defeat and pass on the Challenge Cup. The Cup was handed over to the jubilant winner on 2 July 2019 by Ulrike Dawartz from the Center Management. We congratulate the winners and wish everyone the best of luck for the upcoming anniversary run in 2020, which marks the 20th birthday of the Kranzler Eck.

Love at first sight: Musical stars meet the Buddy Bears

When the performers from the musical “THE BAND” discovered the five members of our Buddy Bear “boy group”, they were immediately hooked. They became friends straight away and it was obvious they were all having fun posing with the cute bears.

The musical, which is currently showing in the neighbouring Theater des Westens, deals with the topic of friendship and big emotions. The show tells the story of five young girls who lose touch with each other – but come together years later, united by their shared passion for music.

It is a trip back to the 90s, the era of the boy band. Fans can once again enjoy the feeling of being a teenager for an evening and can join in singing the popular Take That songs.

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.

9th Kellnerlauf starts at Kranzler Eck Berlin

It’s that time again! On 28 April, waiting staff, barkeepers, porters, beer delivery drivers and kitchen staff will once again take part in the race held on Sunday shopping day. The start and finish lines are on the Kranzler Eck Berlin premises. The participants will compete over a distance of 400 metres down Kurfürstendamm, one side of which will be closed to traffic. Numerous hotels in the city are ready to face the challenge. TV chef Ralf Zacherl will be the special guest.

Training in the Tiergarten

In collaboration with Fitness First, Lululemon invites interested runners to free training at the Tiergarten park every Thursday at 6 p.m. Before setting off, participants can warm up in the Fitness First gym. Afterwards, runners can use the changing rooms, showers and sauna.

DEHOGA with catering and hotel job fair

The Hotel and Catering Association DEHOGA, which is a sponsor and supporter of the Kellnerlauf, will be presenting a job fair this year. Anyone looking for a career in hospitality can get advice at the information stand.

It’s well worth taking part!

The medal ceremonies will take place after the races. Along with fame and glory, the top finishers can look forward to prize money totalling 3,000 euros. Those wanting to participate can sign up online at www.kellnerderby.de or in person on the day. However, the number of runners is limited.
