That's why the palace garden festival, which will be held under the motto "the world as a guest in erlangen", is to be a great success will also be very special. "We expect about 5000 guests", tells ursula ertl. What's new this year is that anyone can buy tickets for the event, not just people connected to the university. "The look will also be new", reports peter hubschmann. For example, the tent will be spared and there will be an aubergewohnliches lichterfest.
The two restaurateurs have formed a joint venture and want to inspire their guests with a global culinary concept.

And I have come up with some very special desserts", tells cake chef marcus muller who is excited about the new challenge. Burger stations and cocktail bars are also planned. "However, the favorite burger of a dear friend of mine, the carp burger, will not be available", says muller with a smile. And peter hubschmann adds that this year, four small breweries from the region will be serving their beer instead of a large one. There will even be a jubilee beer made to the recipe of FAU students, which will also be distributed later. Further hubschmann reports that they will use regional organic products of high quality.

On sunday there will be a big family day in the palace garden and in the following week there will be a beer garden operation. "That is also new this year. We leave the beer bar there, serve beer and offer beer garden snacks," says hubschmann, reports hubschmann, who has already organized many rough events.
