Food and drink in Bundesarchiv Freiburg?

[Marcel van Heijkop]

Dear all,

I'm going to the Bundesarchiv Freiburg myself shortly. Does anybody know whether it is possible to obtain a drink or something to eat inside the Archiv or do you have to take literally everything with you? (Seem to remember that somebody told me that the latter was the case.)

Yes, those files sure are exciting, but I think I'm going to need a strong black coffee now and then :-)

Best regards,

Marcel

As far as I remember it is not possible to buy anything to eat or drink. At the same time it is 3 years ago since I've been there....

cheers,

John.

you can buy sodas in the archive, but no food. There is a sandwich-shop a bit down the road, but their food is bloody awful. Get something in town and store it in your locker.

Better yet, breakfast in a German hotel includes things like ham, sausage, cheese and bread rolls that us English would consider a light lunch - smuggle some of that out from the breakfast room and take it with you. You already paid for it.

Opposite the Bundesarchiv, 100 feet down the road there's a restaurant. The food is, IMHO, decent, and plenty, I recommend the salat-plate. The girls from the Archive usually eat there ( say Hi to Frau Brabant and Frau Waibel from me!). The problem is, if you bring food, you can't eat nor drink in the Lesesaal.

I agree with Hans, the restaurant ca 100 m down the road was ok when I ate there. Obviously it's a good idea to bring some drink and snack if one gets hungry.

I'll be in the archive between 26-30 June if anyone else from TOCH is there and wants to grab a beer in the evening.

Thanks guys!

Now the very important aspect of food and drink is covered, any tips on research if you are looking for a Kampfgeschwader (I./KG66 in my case) would also be very welcome

Please note that I already have the digital findbücher found on the site of SES. I'm more thinking of a kind of checklist/roadmap of things which you shouldn't forget to do while researching a typical unit.

Thanks again,

Marcel
