Not only baking biscuit plays a role in this winter. The tradition of punch, which is associated with joy and conviviality, is also very popular. The poem "Punschied" by Friedrich Schiller, which was created in 1803, in which the four elements of life are associated with the ingredients of the punch, underlines the cultural appreciation of this delicious drink. In his work, Schiller describes the essence of life in a concentrated form, as the harmonious elements work together: "The lemon juicy star! Herb is the innerest core." With his poem, which celebrates the fleeting nature of life, Schiller may "cheat" a bit, as the literary scholar Peter von Matt notes, since the punch consists of five ingredients, but the beauty of the text remains undisputed.
