It was an unmistakable gesture of solidarity and compassion, but that is not all! The teams show an unbroken spirit and great commitment. [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]It is very quiet in most hotels at the moment. Restaurants are closed, the only remaining guests, several businessmen, are catered via room service. Depending on individual options, the teams in Berlin’s hotels roll up their sleeves and get to work.

 <\/p>\n

The famous luxury hotel Adlon Unter den Linden has seized the opportunity for several gestures of humanity:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7517″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7508″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1587997648751{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_class=”m-blog-text-left”]More than 1,000 overnight vouchers were given away to medical staff to redeem after the crisis – as a thank you for their self-sacrificing work for the community.<\/p>\n

Once a week, Adlon\u2019s kitchen team prepares a healthy breakfast for a homeless shelter on Berlin\u2019s Storkower Strasse free of charge.<\/p>\n

At Easter, over 500 cute Easter lambs were baked in the kitchen of the luxury hotel in an organized effort and given away to crisis workers.[i]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1493169522556{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

7 luxury rooms for hospital staff<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Villa Contessa Bad Saarow, “Germany’s smallest first-class hotel” (7 rooms), is located near the large Helios Clinic, approx. 70km outside of Berlin. Medical staff can stay here for free any time. This way, the clinic’s employees can save themselves the long way home late at night, especially when the workload is high. This offer seems to help a lot and is already well accepted.[ii]<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1587994174550{background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_class=”m-blog-text-left”]<\/p>\n

Restaurants cook for heroes<\/h3>\n

Many restaurants and caterers all over Germany have spontaneously created take-away and delivery services practically overnight, thus ensuring the culinary diversity in Berlin and many other cities in the country even in times of Corona. In addition, many of them have come up with actions to support hospitals and social projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7507″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1587989944903{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]A grassroots movement of Berlin restaurateurs, initiated by the currently closed Kreuzberg Restaurant \u201cTulus Lotrek\u201d, already united 99 businesses nationwide under the brand name “Cooking for Heroes”.
\nThey volunteer to cook meals for people in functional jobs to replace the closed canteens. The campaign is financed through crowd funding and by donations in kind from other companies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The \u201cBRLO BRWHOUSE\u201d for example uses 10% of their delivery service income to buy ingredients for the \u201cCooking for Heroes\u201d initiative. With those goods they cook for people in hospitals, care facilities, etc.<\/p>\n
