It is just a few weeks agao that the new building of the Museum Folkwang in Essen was inaugurated.

But not only the building itself is new. The integration of the gourmet restaurant "Vincent & Paul" created an entirely new combination of art and culinary cuisine.






During the day the guests are offered freshly prepared daily specials at moderate prices, in the evening the star-chef Frank Heppner creates magical specialties of the Euro-Asian cuisine, such as his legendary coconut fish soup.

The tables are set with fine china, Riedel glasses and the silver cutlery Martelé of Robbe & Berking gedeckt.


 

Robbe & Berking wishes the Folkwang Museum and Vincent & Paul many visitors and contented guests.

The Château de Lamothe was built in the 13th century as a summer residence of the bishops of Oloron.

The situation on the mountain was once of strategic importance, today you can enjoy a magnificent panorama of one of the most beautiful parts of France, Pyrénées-Atlantiques.


In recent years, the Château was lovingly renovated by the couple Christine and Laurent Nederlof, and since May 2010 it is a small but fine hotel.

The interior of the rooms is individual and reflects the historic ambience, but technically all is up to date.



In the Château the tables are set with Alt-Spaten of Robbe & Berking.

The one-Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant "Carrousel" had been indigenous to the B ülöw Residence in Dresden.

In conjunction with the opening of its sister hotel Bülow Palais, the restaurant not only got a new home, but also a new cutlery - Alt-Faden by Robbe & Berking.






Its chef is still Dirk Schröer who has been one of the 50 top chefs in Germany since this year.
Dirk Schröer and his established team make enjoyable creations out of top-quality ingredients and with perfect craftsmanship.

The Bülow Palais is externally adjusted to the baroque palace style of the Königstraße (King Street), inside the decor is modern, but with baroque accents. The interior is complemented by modern art throughout the hotel. This surprising mix of styles produces a unique atmosphere for Dresden.

We wish the Bülow Palais and the Restaurant Carrousel much success.

It is for the 20th time since 1991 that the trade group household / GPK has called the German retailers of the sector around the dinner table for choosing the partner to the trade.

Robbe & Berking won 17 times in the top three places, out of which 14 times place no. 1. So it happened in 2010.

We thank our dealers for this recognition and the confidence placed in us.

At all times, red was a particular color. Purple not only meant to Alexander the Great a sign of power, but also to Charles the Great, Napoleon and Elizabeth II of England. Ordinary citizens were temporarily forbidden on pain of death to wear red. The origin of this word in Russian is synonymous with beautiful. No other color has such symbolic power and effect.

In the sector around the dinner table one has combined this color for decades with the world leader in silver flatware Robbe & Berking. Hardly any of the big luxury brands use a color as consistently as it is done by the Flensburg silver manufacture with its red.

Red was also the legendary stand in Frankfurt, where many courses were set on in the successful history of the manufactory over the past decades. And so it is no wonder that even the new stand, not only with the color red, but also architecturally sets a self-confident sign of the special status of the Robbe & Berking collection.

Robbe & Berking’s stand on the “Ambiente” in Frankfurt was created by Vivi Lerche and built by Richter Möbelwerkstätten (furniture workshops).

 



The first copy was manufactured as a contract work for the Hamburg Museum of Arts and Crafts (“Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe”). Meanwhile, the Jan-von-Borstel-bowl with a weight of 6 kg can also be bought from selected specialized retail partners of the Flensburg silver manufactory as well as in Robbe & Berking’s own shops.

With a diameter of 47 cm, this timelessly elegant, very large bowl of highly sophisticated craftsmanship is one of the greatest masterpieces of the manufactory.

 

 

 








Gold and silver have always been regarded as a safe haven by investors, as classic hedging instruments for the preservation of assets and against inflation risks. Silver has risen by 190% since 2003. The "big brother" gold has reached an all time high. You can now purchase gold and silver from Robbe & Berking in various sizes of bullions and also as coins. Ten authorized branch stores look forward to your visit.





 

For the 3rd time since 1995 the magazine “Wirtschaftswoche” has published the “German luxury brand rating” of the 30 top brands of the year and for the 3rd time Robbe & Berking belongs to the 30 top German luxury brands. After ranking 21st in 1995 and 17th in 2007 the manufacture now ranks 14th and has ameliorated more than all the other placed companies since the last research.

It fills us with pride and at the same time with gratefulness towards our customers. As in the everyday business gratefulness is rarely expressed we would like to take the advantage to do so: Thank you!

 




In October 2009 the 17th Hamburg Film Festival awards a new prize: The Hamburg Film Festival Cutlery 2009. The first prize is given to the German producer and scriptwriter Lars Becker („Nachtschicht”, „Rette Deine Haut”, „Kanak Attack”).

Film festival director Altert Wiederspiel will hand over the prize before the premiere of „Nachtschicht: Wir sind die Polizei” at the Cinemaxx Dammtor. „As Lars Becker is almost every year taking part with a new movie I would like to thank him for his continuous loyalty to the film festival and the venue Hamburg”, Wiederspiel explains the decision in favour of the awardee.

The Hamburg Film Festival Cutlery consists of four silver spoons of Robbe & Berking. Each spoon is engraved with one word. Altogether these engravings on the four spoons present the personal dedication „Das Gelbe vom Ei”, referring to a Lars Becker movie of 1999.

 

 




With 112 pages the „Robbe & Berking Restaurant Guide 2009/2010“ will be as comprehensive as its predecessor has never been.

A joint condition that all top restaurants are fulfilling: they belong to a gastronomic elite honoured with Michelin stars and they silver their tables exclusively with Robbe & Berking. The Flensburg manufactory, being the first address in terms of silver on private tables throughout the world for decades,
was also able to increasingly convince the top gastronomy to replace the typical hotel cutlery out of steel by silver and silver-plated manufactured cutlery.

The Robbe & Berking Restaurant Guide 2009/2010 (expected to be published in October)

Cooperation with these top chefs resulted in the creation of a vehicle of the special art. While the automobile industry suffers deprivation, Robbe & Berking has developed a representative catering trolley that can be fitted according to customer’s requirement, e.g. for tea, cheese or spirits.


With extendible side parts the catering trolley has a width of 180 cm.

Height 110 cm / width 90 cm / depth 60 cm
Price per piece: 35,000 Euro. The first deliveries were made to the Intercontinental in Dusseldorf, to the Romeo in Naples and to The Ritz-Carlton in Moscow.


For his outstanding merits and his great commitment for the sailing sport in Schleswig-Holstein Oliver Berking was honored by Prime Minister Peter Harry Carstensen with the “Blue Ribbon”.

Among other aspects Carstensen emphasized that the new founded ship yard Robbe & Berking Classics is not only building yachts classics but has conserved true cultural good while restoring the former navy Zwölfer “Ostwind” on which Berking is also celebrating sporting successes.


 



Bayreuth provides one day before the beginning of the festival a feast for friends of great music: On 24th of July the international camp for kids Villa Sans Souci invites into the residential house of Richard Wagner and celebrates the premiere of the series of dialogs of music together with a pianist of world rank: Hélène Grimaud.

A premiere of a special kind: Hélène Grimaud will take the guests on Richard Wagner´s legendary grand piano “Wahnfried-Flügel” into the world of Franz Liszt and Johann Sebastian Bach.

Music in a dialog. The premiere concert crowns a day full of musical impressions. Experts on and behind the stage, in front and behind the camera open to us their sound-medial world. Photographs of Artists presented by Mat Hennek invite into a voyage of discovery to the “soul of music” and Nina Ruge questions the stars of opera about their opinion on the topic of “Faithfulness contra Director’s theatre. Tradition on stage or medial delight?”

There is currently only one 7-star hotel in the world – the Burj-Al-Arab in Dubai. Yet this is about to change. Red Bull founder Dieter Mateschitz is, in top secret, building a super class luxury hotel on his island of Laucala/Fiji which he brought from the Malcom Forbes family. The silverware will be supplied by Robbe & Berking. Information about the residence will only be released just before the opening. The anticipation will be great ...






The silversmith’s art is exhibited in the finely tuned hammering technique which creates softly swung facets which reflect the light a hundred times over and give the cutlery lightness and ease.


Through the centuries silver has inspired artists to create works which are very special. Yet the beauty and the value of the material alone are not a guarantee of timelessness. Only silversmith’s art which comes from a true expert hand exceeds the material value during all times.

Metre class yachts being built according to the “International Rule” affected sailing in the past 100 years like no other boat class. On the initiative of Robbe & Berking the film-maker Tom Nitsch dedicated a film to the class’ 100th birthday, portraying it like no other. Not only the 12mR yachts, being sailed for the America’s Cup for 30 years, but all representatives of the class – from the small 4mR yacht to the 40m long 25mR yachts. A real eye candy for all friends of classical yachts.

When Robbe & Berking equipped the 126,18 m long “Octopus” of the Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in the beginning of 2005, the “Octopus” had been the biggest private motor yacht in the world. Twelve months later, there was a new number 1, the 168 m “Dubai” of the sovereign of Dubai. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum has chosen for his yacht cutlery of the Robbe & Berking collection – Martelé.
