bauhaus school. but those glory days were over by one nine hundred thirty three when hitler came to power weimar had long become a stage for the nazi party and the elephant was hitler's favorite place to stay in town. he ordered the hotel to be torn down and rebuilt. when it reopened in one nine hundred thirty eight it was touted as the most modern hotel in europe. while the nazis were living it up in town tens of thousands of people were dying from hunger and exhaustion at the book involved concentration camp just outside weimar it's a difficult legacy for the hotel. but often the hotel deals with this openly and deliberately because that chapter is unfortunately part of our history. it's important for us to show that this hotel has always been an open

meeting place here in the atrium with consciously hung pieces from his work was deemed degenerate by the nazis in order to create a counterpoint so that's. in addition to three centuries of history hotel elephant also boasts its own art collection many works were done by regular guests and include a fair number of elephants. by trying one regional specialty tooling across at the market another is closer to taito dumplings they served in virtually every restaurant environment. in high school time just outside of town you can learn how to make them in a cooking class and how best to do that is a science in itself luckily i've got you to show me how it's done. you should plan
1:43 am
on three large potatoes per person whose first they have to be peeled. but not all dumplings are the same right why is that. it's mainly a geographical distinction in the south in italy they make their small round yaki farther north in austria and varia their call. and here and turning and they're known as close course. after their appeal the potatoes are graded but watch your fingers. there. are those that are the greatest potato mass is then put into a little cloth back and pressed. until it's completely dried. now we prepare extremely runny mashed potatoes and make this what they're trying. to sort of stumble out of

a very democratic project and it seems every detail was just just as a group. just of the. today the a.c.c. is a gallery with an international scholarship scheme and the past thirty years the a.c.c. has hosted nearly two hundred fifty exhibitions with over a thousand participating artists. setting up the a.c.c. was a dream for you what are your goals for the future what's still to come. and they are this. if it were up to me things can stay just as they are this is our building we want to stay here and breathe new life into weimar's classical mindset with our contemporary dalliances in artistry and. believe the buy more doesn't exactly live for contemporary art and culture rather it lives from the past and so we are a good counter agent we have been for the last thirty years and we want to continue
1:55 am
to be one. what would you say the a.c.c. is a viable classical indian absolutely the a.c.c. is a by mark classic. because weimar still lacks a great contemporary art museum to go along with its great cultural sites. and for the cause of the risk of sounding smug with the only program at a contemporary art gallery here that's active at the international level of intimacy. so that's why the a.c.c. gallery has become a clue. sick. be don't ever go to some classical is you know a modern one one class on modern classic yes what makes a classic thirty years like the a.c.c. one hundred years like bauhaus are good and the like the only true aspirants to the title and the end of the day it doesn't really matter one thing is for sure here and you'll get to experience german history more vividly than in almost any other
