Coronavirus Cancels Kohlessen Event in Berlin
In a recent announcement, the city of Oldenburg has made the difficult decision to cancel the Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten, a traditional event held in Berlin, due to the ongoing Corona pandemic. This marks the second time in history that the event has been cancelled, following previous cancellations in 1962 and 1991.
The Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten is a significant gathering where decision-makers from the region exchange ideas with politicians from Berlin and Hannover. The event, deeply rooted in German culture, particularly in the north, represents local culinary traditions and is often associated with seasonal festivals and family gatherings.
The historical cancellations of the Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten occurred during different time periods and under different circumstances. In 1962, the event was cancelled due to a natural disaster - the North German flood. The last time the event was cancelled was in 1991, due to external circumstances - the Gulf War.
Mayor Jürgen Krogmann made the decision to cancel the event after discussions with the health department, the state of Lower Saxony, and sponsors. Krogmann stated that the cancellation of the Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten is not feasible due to the Corona pandemic.
The cancellation of the event in 1991 and 1962 occurred for different reasons than the current cancellation. The current Kohlqueen, Franziska Giffey, understood the cancellation and will thus remain in office longer.
Cabbage dishes, like kale, are a hearty and healthy option for cold winter months and are significant for their nutritional value. They also represent local culinary traditions and are often associated with seasonal festivals and family gatherings. Despite the cancellation of the Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten, the cultural significance of cabbage dishes in Germany remains strong.
It is unclear when the Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten will return, but organisers and attendees alike look forward to the day when they can once again gather to exchange ideas and celebrate this important part of German culture.
The Defftig Ollnborger Gröökohl-Äten, a significant health-and-wellness event in German culture, has been cancelled for the third time in its history, the first two being in 1962 due to a natural disaster and in 1991 due to the Gulf War. The ongoing Corona pandemic has made it infeasible for this year's event to take place, marking its return back to the science of public health and safety.
