Ask Angelika Season 3 Episode 27 - Schüttorf

from Ask Angelika · host Angelika Davey

 In this episode we learned a few things about Schüttorf. As always Steven got to read some German sentences about it and tried to translate them into English. Here are the sentences again: Schüttorf ist eine Stadt in der Grafschaft Bentheim in Niedersachsen. Schüttorf is a town in the county of Bentheim in Lower Saxony. Schüttorf ist seit 1295 eine Stadt und somit die älteste Stadt der Grafschaft Bentheim.  Schüttorf has been a town since 1295 and is therefore the oldest town in the county of Bentheim.  Das bedeutendste Gebäude heute ist die evangelisch-reformierte Kirche. The most important building today is the Protestant Reformed Church. Ihr Turm ist 81 Meter hoch.  Its tower is 81 metres high.  Wegen ihrer Größe nennt man sie auch den Schüttorfer Riesen. Because of its size it is also called the Schüttorf Giant. Nach einer Legende brannte der Kirchturm am 8. Februar 1889 und wurde mit Milch gelöscht. According to a legend, the church tower burnt down on 8 February 1889 and was extinguished with milk. Schüttorf hat einen See, den Quendorfer See.  Schüttorf has a lake, the Quendorfer See.  Es gibt einen weißen Sandstrand und man kann surfen, segeln, rudern und natürlich schwimmen. There is a white sandy beach and you can surf, sail, row and of course swim. Ein alter Brauch in Schüttorf ist das Weggenbringen.  An old custom in Schüttorf is the bringing of a “Weggen”.  Wird ein Kind geboren, bringen die Nachbarn und Freunde einen Weggen.  When a child is born, neighbours and friends bring a "Weggen".  Das ist ein oft bis zu zwei Meter langes Rosinenbrot, das auf einer Leiter getragen wird. It’s a currant loaf, often up to two metres long, which is carried on a ladder.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
