From whiskey saloon to remember: Detlef Raeder's moving pub story

In the Klever Klever Wishisy saloon, around 200 fans recently gathered to celebrate a revival party that revived the memories of one of the most famous drinking sites in the city. The whiskey saloon, a popular meeting place for young and old, existed from 1965 to 2005 and was managed by Detlef Raeder, whose last names did not even know many. The atmosphere of the small, wood -paneled restaurant was formative for countless visits over the decades.

The music that was played during the celebration reflected the long history of the salon. Michael Dickhoff ensured the musical framework and brought back the sounds of the time that many had already experienced in the pub as young people. The hall was filled with memories that went far beyond the youngsters. With snacks and drinks, the former guests had the opportunity to exchange old stories and to revive shared experiences.

The narrow passenger area, which was often overcrowded during its flowering period, is considered by the former regular guests with a lot of nostalgia. Photos from the last few days of the pub testify to the final closure when Detlef Raeder decided to close his whiskey saloon. An impressive picture is particularly remembered: the landlord, surrounded by his memories, cleans up with a chainsaw to give his life's work the finishing touches before the excavator came.
