Peter Enge (68) war as Industrietechnik-Lehrling at Bau des Hotels dabei. “1972 started learning. The war has been 16.”

With a signal from Frau Birgit who was there at the end of the day. “That’s a good thing”, you are in the panorama restaurant more than 90 meters above sea level. “Man cares about one another’s view of the city.”
