Scandinavian style has always embraced the ‘less is more’ ethos, but this season Swedish brand Cos has taken minimalism a step further, stripping back its menswear collection to focus solely on the essentials. Collarless grey wool blazers are held together by metal clips, while outerwear details are kept hidden, as in a midnight blue hooded dufel coat concealing a removable inner technical jacket. This allows the simple, classic materials – including felted wool, padded white cotton poplin and Japaneseinspired cloth – to take centre stage. Simplicity also dominates when it comes to accessories, with winter sandals in grey felted wool, traditional black leather derby lace-ups and a drawstring gym bag with matching black leather gloves, rounding of a stunning collection. rp Cos, Königstrasse 4, 90402 Nuremberg, +49 (0)911 2114 7078, cosstores.com * for map go to page 51

EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE When Thomas Schaefer founded the René Lezard label in 1978, he did so with the idea of creating a modern, design-led premium brand for men and women that used only the highest quality materials. This philosophy remains at the core of the latest autumn/winter collection. In muted colours and with a relaxed silhouette, the pieces are elegant and stylish without being trend-driven. Warm fabrics such as cashmere and wool are used throughout the collection, giving the clothes an invitingly tactile look. Those seeking dressier items won’t be disappointed, as there are plenty of silk blouses, along with statement coats in foral jacquard. th René Lezard, Kaiserstrasse 18, 90403 Nuremberg, +49 (0)911 205 3730, rene-lezard.com * for map go to page 48

Modern yet classic pieces like this bracelet, stunning and luxurious but suitable for everyday wear, show the brand’s ability to know exactly what women want in their jewellery collections. hl Wempe, Königstrasse 12, 90402 Nuremberg, +49 (0)911 203581, wempe.com * for map go to page 51 globalblue.com
SPICE WORLD Delicious lebkuchen biscuits have become synonymous with the city of Nuremberg, as Ginger Rose Clark discovers

elisenlebkuchen was created in the 18th century by a Nuremberg baker, using only the most precious ingredients, including copious amounts of ground nuts and high-quality spices, to cure his ailing daughter Elisabeth of an illness. To this day, elisenlebkuchen must contain a minimum of 25% nuts and less than 10% four. Anna Eckstein, who runs local bakery Lebküchnerei Eckstein, afrms that the elisenlebkuchen is a hallmark of true quality.
Many lebkuchen bakeries are family businesses that use secret recipes handed down the generations Lebkuchen has become such an important part of Nuremberg’s culinary landscape that a privileged handful of bakeries working within the city’s boundaries have been awarded European Union protected geographical indication status, acknowledging their products’ traditional and unique properties. In many cases, lebkuchen is a family business, with each bakery creating its own version according to a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation, and selling this to its own set of loyal followers. As Eckstein explains, ‘Our client base is a local, regular one who looks for quality and an artisanal approach. We have a niche market and aren’t in competition with the industrial producers.’ Previous page: almond-studded lebkuchen Above (from left): historical image of bakers at the Ferdinand Wolff lebkuchen factory in 1959; samples from Lebküchnerei Eckstein

t’s the beginning of December, the temperatures have dropped to zero and the daylight hours have waned. Despite the wintry feel, the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt – Christmas market – radiates a warm glow, as soft light emanates from the red and white painted wooden chalets, and the enticing smell of spicy mulled wine wafts through the air. It’s Advent and tradition reigns supreme at the famous Nuremberg market. The stalls all ofer traditional local products, from the cute Zwetschgenmännle fgures, made from dried prunes with walnut heads, to the ubiquitous bratwurst sausage. However, perhaps most importantly, the market also features mouthwatering stacks of lebkuchen biscuits. Lebkuchen is a type of gingerbread that is consumed across Germany during the festive season. Nuremberg’s lebkuchen is now so famous that it has become a symbol of the city. Lebkuchen’s signifcance dates back to the Middle Ages, when its production in monasteries was frst ofcially recorded in the 14th century. The densely forested area surrounding Nuremberg was referred to as ‘the German Empire’s bee garden’ at this time, because it yielded such an abundance of honey. This honey was soon used a sweetener for various products and, when combined with the cocktail of spices – including cloves, cinnamon, anise, nutmeg and ginger – that merchants were bringing back from their expeditions across the globe, lebkuchen was created. You’d be mistaken if you think that Nuremberg lebkuchen is no diferent from that of other areas of Germany. Nuremberg boasts arguably the most noble of all lebkuchen: the elisenlebkuchen. Legend has it that the

The quintessential taste of Nuremberg is a product all its makers take pride in

Another such business is the Gstatter bakery, now run by the third generation of the founding family. Harald Gstatter, grandson of the founder, says, ‘The lebkuchen from bakeries such as ours stands out because it is made to our own secret recipe using quality ingredients, and because it is freshly baked.’ Lebkuchen from bakeries such as Gstatter and Lebküchnerei Eckstein is freshly made each day and contains no artifcial ingredients such as preservatives. At Bäckerei Gstatter, 8,000 to 10,000 lebkuchen are made by hand each season. Gstatter says, ‘We usually produce lebkuchen from October to Christmas but, if the weather is cold and rainy in September, we can start earlier, as people fancy lebkuchen if it’s cold!’ Lebkuchen producers range from small
family-run bakers to large-scale manufacturing operations. Of the latter, Lebkuchen Schmidt is one of Nuremberg’s largest and best-known. The company’s reputation is so widespread that it now produces around three million lebkuchen a day during peak season. These are then sent out via mail order to customers around the world, as well as being sold in the brand’s 130 seasonal stores. Juergen Merkel, export manager at Lebkuchen Schmidt, says, ‘When you think about Nuremberg, lebkuchen comes to mind and so we take pride in producing excellent products which are known and loved all over the world.’ This sentiment is clearly present whatever the size of the bakery. All lebkuchen makers share a strong sense of pride in their creations. A tour of the city soon reveals that Nuremberg’s lebkuchen is more than just a variety of gingerbread. Whether you prefer lebkuchen studded with almonds, dunked in chocolate or sugar-coated, it is the quintessential taste of Nuremberg lebkuchen-eckstein.de, baeckerei-gstatter.de, lebkuchen-schmidt.com

GAME CHANGER Thanks to cult designs and fashion collaborations, Adidas’s sportswear is no longer just for sport. Dionne Hélène reveals how its sneakers and clothing suddenly became wardrobe must-haves

n recent years, Adidas has been leading the charge when it comes to blurring the lines between sportswear and fashion. The German label has always been a leading supplier of sports footwear and clothing, but it is its passion for innovation that has made the brand an internationally recognised industry pioneer. Adidas’s fashion credentials are impressive; recent collaborators include establishment heavyweights such as Stella McCartney, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons and Rick Owens, as well as Kolor’s Junichi Abe and hip-hop mogul Kanye West. Each has brought his or her own signature style to the partnership, which, combined with Adidas’s sportswear expertise, has resulted in something special. By incorporating the techniques and materials 57 /

that each designer would favour on the catwalk, Adidas’s pieces have been elevated from the sportswear sphere to become highly desirable garments in their own right. Practicality and simplicity lie at the heart of this evolution, ensuring that Adidas’s core values remain strong, whether the target is the street or the sports hall. The brand is proud of its ‘commitment to quality and passion for sport’, which ensures that every Adidas collection is tailored to provide comfort and performance wherever it is being worn. With this in mind, the brand’s decision to work with some of the world’s most respected fashion designers is less surprising; Yohji Yamamoto, for instance, has worked with Adidas on its Y-3 line for more than a decade. Yamamoto is considered to be a master Previous page: Adidas Y-3 line by Yohji Yamamoto Above (from left): designer Yohji Yamamoto; three designs from the Y-3 collecton for Adidas

tailor, pushing fashion boundaries since the 1970s, and his bold, experimental designs for Adidas are no exception. The designer’s most celebrated silhouettes, including the Qasa, combine high-performance composite fabrics with vibrant uppers. The success of its Yamamoto collaboration has encouraged Adidas to take more risks with other avant-garde design talents. Rick Owens’ designs for the brand are considered the most experimental creations yet, incorporating clean monotone colour palettes and strong, fuid lines reminiscent of modern architecture. Owens’ work has attracted a new generation of sneaker fans who appreciate form and function as well as fashion. Adidas has long championed the creation of garments that transcend traditional boundaries
Adidas sneakers are regularly spotted on the front row at fashion weeks of what sportswear should look like. Stella McCartney is the designer who has done the most to help efect this change, especially in womenswear. Her design aesthetic is feminine, romantic and fattering. Fabrics that let the body breathe and move with ease are combined with striking patterns to great efect.

Collaborations with the world’s finest fashion designers give Adidas sportswear added cachet
Above (both): Adidas Stan Smith, autumn/winter 2015/16
Fashion often takes inspiration from the past, and Adidas has plenty of its own history to mine. The brand’s most renowned style, the Superstar, has become a timeless classic, loved by sneaker enthusiasts and fashion editors alike. Created for playing basketball, the style was launched in the late 1960s and popularised by NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Its versatile design, suitable for wear both on and of court, was revolutionary. Since then, the shoe has been reinvented several times over and even featured in a 1986 song by American hip-hop group Run-DMC called My Adidas. The members of the group were known for wearing only Adidas, and made history by becoming the frst musical group to be ofcially endorsed by a sportswear brand. The Superstar is surprisingly robust with a hardened shell-toe to provide additional protection. A design revamp in the 1980s brought the shoe to the attention of the skateboarding community, who were soon hooked by its tough exterior and the durability of its rubber outsole. The style has been reinvented again recently; Pharrell Williams teamed up with Adidas to create the Supercolor, an exclusive version of the Superstar available in 50 colours. The Stan Smith is another classic style that has been adopted by the fashion community. Designed for its namesake, tennis player Stan Smith, to wear on court, the shoe has remained virtually unchanged since its release in the 1970s. The shoe’s understated aesthetic makes it a universal style staple which complements bold directional outfts as well as simpler everyday ensembles. Both it and the Superstar have been spotted on the front row at various fashion weeks. The story of the Superstar and the Stan Smith demonstrates perfectly the way sportswear has evolved to become part of the luxury fashion sector. Sneakers are now regarded as an everyday wardrobe staple, and as Adidas continues to collaborate with the world’s fnest fashion designers its clothing is acquiring a similar cachet, proving once and for all that style and substance aren’t mutually exclusive adidas.com

HUGO BOSS For autumn/winter 2015/16, Boss menswear is inspired by sophisticated winter holiday destinations – think Aspen, Colorado, or St Moritz, Switzerland. As such, the looks refect outdoorsy elegance. From padded coats to pure wool trousers, even the warmest layers are cut close to the body for a fattering ft. True to form, materials are of the highest quality and range from merino wool and mohair to the fnest cashmere. The colour palette is similarly refned, sticking to shades such as granite and glacier blue with just a hint of brick red.

Мир специй
На дворе декабрь, температура упала до нуля, а дни стали заметно короче. Но, несмотря на морозную свежесть, рождественский рынок Christkindlesmarkt в Нюрнберге сияет теплыми красками, а воздух насыщен нежным ароматом глинтвейна, исходящим от красно-белых деревянных ярмарочных домиков. Как раз в эти дни отмечается период Рождественского поста – Адвент, и эта традиция не могла обойти Нюрнбергский рынок стороной. На прилавках предлагают традиционные деликатесы, от съедобных человечков Zwetschgenmännle, сделанных из чернослива и грецкого ореха, до знаменитых сосисок «братвурст». И, пожалуй, одним из главных символов ярмарки считаются аппетитные Нюрнбергские пряники, именуемые «лебкухен». В период рождества их можно встретить в большом количестве по всей Германии. Необычайная популярность Нюрнбергских пряников привела к тому, что они стали своеобразным символом города. История их появления уходит своими корнями во времена Средневековья, когда производство пряников было официально зафиксировано в местных монастырях в 14 веке. Покрытая густым лесом местность вокруг Нюрнберга в то время называлась «Пчелиным садом немецкой империи», благодаря большому количеству пчеловодческих хозяйств. Мед широко использовался в качестве подсластителя для ряда кондитерских изделий. В ходе одного из экспериментов его смешали с привезенными из далека специями, такими как гвоздика, корица, анис, мускатный орех и имбирь, это и привело к созданию пряника, дошедшего globalblue.com

Джинджер Роуз Кларк рассказывает о вкусных пряниках «Lebkuchen», которые стали синонимом города Нюрнберга
до наших времен. Если вы считаете, что Нюрнбергский пряник ничем не отличается от остальных пряников, произведенных на территории Германии, то вы глубоко ошибаетесь. Именно в Нюрнберге выпекают самый примечательный вид пряников – «elisenlebkuchen». Согласно легенде, этот вид сладостей был создан в 18 веке одним из нюрнбергских пекарей, чтобы исцелить тяжелобольную дочь Элизабет от болезни, которая уже погубила его жену. Для приготовления пряника были использованы самые лучшие ингредиенты, большое количество арахиса и высококачественные специи. В современном рецепте «elisenlebkuchen» значится, что изделие должно содержать минимум 25% орехов и менее 10% муки. Анна Экштайн, заведующая местной пекарней Lebküchnerei Eckstein, утверждает, что «elisenlebkuchen» является эталоном настоящего качества. Нюрнбергские пряники настолько прочно вошли в местные кулинарные традиции, что ряд городских пекарен даже попал под особый протекторат Европейского Союза, а их традиции производства были признаны уникальными. В большинстве случаев производством

пряников занимаются частные пекарни, каждая из которых претендует на оригинальность своих рецептов, передающихся из поколения в поколение, и имеет своих постоянных покупателей. Экштайн поясняет: «В основном наши покупатели это местные жители, которые ценят качество и традиционное мастерство. Наша продукция особенная, рассчитанная на узкий круг потребителей, поэтому мы не конкурируем с массовыми производителями». Похожий подход можно наблюдать у пекарни Gstatter, находящейся во владении третьего поколения семьи основателей. «Пряники из нашей пекарни отличаются от всех остальных, поскольку для их приготовления был задействован наш фирменный рецепт и отборные ингредиенты, а еще, потому что они у нас всегда только свежие», – говорит Харальд Гштаттер, внук основателя. Пряники в таких пекарнях, как Gstatter и Lebküchnerei Eckstein всегда свежеиспеченные и не содержат консервантов. За сезон в пекарне Gstatter вручную выпекается от 8 до 10 тысяч пряников. Гштаттер говорит: «Обычно мы начинаем выпечку пряников в октябре и заканчиваем на Рождество, но если сентябрь выдается дождливым, то мы можем начать и раньше, globalblue.com
ведь когда на улице холодно людям хочется пряников!». Среди производителей Нюрнбергских пряников можно встретить как частных предпринимателей, так и массовых производителей. В число последних входит компания Lebkuchen Schmidt – одна из крупнейших и наиболее известных в своем деле. Спрос на ее продукцию настолько велик, что при наступлении сезона компания выпускает до трех миллионов пряников ежедневно. «Когда речь заходит о Нюрнберге, то первое что приходит в голову – это пряник, поэтому мы очень гордимся нашей продукцией, которую знают и любят по всему миру», – говорит Юрген Меркель, менеджер по экспорту в Lebkuchen Schmidt. Гордость за свою продукцию присутствует в каждой пекарне, вне зависимости от ее размеров. Стоит лишь немного пройтись по городу и у вас не останется сомнений, что Нюрнбергский пряник это всего лишь разновидность обычного пряника. Какой бы пряник вы ни выбрали, миндальный, шоколадный или в сахарной пудре, он все равно будет нести в себе неповторимый аромат нюрнбергской традиции. lebkuchen-eckstein.de, baeckerei-gstatter.de, lebkuchen-schmidt.com

38: Game Changer
Законодатели технологий Благодаря культовым моделям и модным коллаборациям, продукция Adidas вышла далеко за рамки спорта. Дионн Хелен рассказывает о том, как кроссовки и одежда бренда внезапно стали обязательной вещью в гардеробе
PHOTO: KOICHI INAKOSHI
В последние годы Adidas заметнее всех остальных компаний преуспел в размытии границ между спортивной одеждой и высокой модой. Этот немецкий бренд всегда был лидером в производстве спортивной обуви и одежды, но именно любовь к инновациям помогла ему стать пионером своей индустрии и добиться международного признания. Достижения Adidas в области моды впечатляют; в последних коллаборациях марки принимали участие такие тяжеловесы модной индустрии, как Стелла Маккартни,
Ёдзи Ямамото, Раф Симонс и Рик Оуэнс, а также дизайнер Kolor Юничи Абэ и хип-хоп певец Канье Уэст. Каждый из них принес свои оригинальные идеи, которые в сочетании с непревзойденными технологиями Adidas вылились в нечто необыкновенное. Инженеры марки соединили воедино материалы и детали, которые, по мнению дизайнеров, лучше всего подходили бы для показа на подиуме, и в один миг спортивная одежда превратилась в изящные наряды от кутюр. Практичность и простота являются основополагающими принципами этой трансформации, гарантируя неизменность ключевых традиций самого бренда, и не важно идет ли речь об уличной моде или обуви для спортзала. Adidas гордится своей «приверженностью качеству и страстью к миру спорта», а это значит, что каждая коллекция марки будет обеспечивать необходимый уровень комфорта и производительности, независимо от сферы применения. Учитывая этот факт, не удивительно, что бренд намерен сотрудничать с самыми уважаемыми дизайнерами мира; к примеру, Ёдзи Ямамото и Adidas более десяти лет провели над совместной работой по выпуску серии Y-3. Ямамото начал покорять индустрию моды еще в 1970-х годах, и его смелые, новаторские проекты для Adidas не являются исключением. Пользующиеся наибольшим успехом изделия дизайнера, включая модель Qasa, сочетают высокопроизводительные композитные материалы и яркий дизайн. Успех сотрудничества с Ямамото воодушевил Adidas пойти еще дальше и начать совместную работу с

другими современными дизайнерамиавангардистами. Коллаборация с Риком Оуэнсом на сегодняшний день считается самой экспериментальной и смелой. В ней соединилась чистая монотонная палитра и заметные плавные линии, напоминающие современную архитектуру. Работа Оуэнса обратила на себя внимание новое поколение поклонников кроссовок, ценящих форму и практичность наравне со стилем. Adidas уже давно стал лидером в создании тканей, которые выходят за традиционные рамки представления о спортивной одежде. Дизайнер Стелла Маккартни сыграла в этом процессе одну из первоочередных ролей, особенно, что касается женской одежды. Ее эстетика необыкновенно женственна и романтична. Ткани, позволяющие телу свободно дышать и двигаться, для полноты эффекта сочетаются с поразительными и необычайно яркими узорами. Модная индустрия знает много примеров, когда источником вдохновения служит богатое наследие самого бренда, и Аdidas тому не исключение. Одна из самых популярных серий кроссовок бренда – Superstar – стала своего рода классикой, и завоевала море поклонников, как среди любителей уличной одежды, так и среди редакторов модных журналов. Серия была создана в конце 1960-х годов для баскетболистов и стала популярной, благодаря легенде NBA – Кариму Абдул-

Джаббару. Универсальный дизайн, который сделал кроссовки подходящими для использования как на площадке, так и вне ее, был просто революционным. С тех пор эту модель неоднократно совершенствовали и дополняли, а в 1986 году она даже была упомянута в песне «My Adidas» в исполнении американской хип-хоп группы Run-DMC. Музыканты данного коллектива были известны тем, что носили исключительно фирменную одежду Adidas, и вошли в историю, как первая музыкальная группа, получившая официальную поддержку от спортивного бренда. Модель кроссовок Superstar поразительно прочная и имеет уплотнение на носке для дополнительной защиты ноги. Новая модификация данной модели в 1980-х годах получила особую популярность в среде скейтбордистов, которые оценили прочную конструкцию и долговечность резиновой подошвы. Совсем недавно модель подверглась очередному обновлению; Фаррелл Уильямс совместно с Adidas выпустил модель Supercolor, – эксклюзивную версию Superstar, доступную в 50 цветовых оттенках. Stan Smith – еще одна модель, получившая широкое одобрение модных экспертов. Выпущенная специально для теннисиста Стэнли Смита и предназначенная для игры в теннис, эта модель оставалась практически неизменной с момента ее выпуска в 1970 году.

32: Spice World 香料世界 美味可口的胡椒蜂蜜饼已经成为了纽伦堡的代名 词，Ginger Rose Clark带您一同品尝 十二月初的时候，气温已经降到了零度，白昼时间也 短了许多。尽管冬日寒意肆虐，纽伦堡的圣诞集市 却洋溢着重重暖意：漆成红色和白色的小木屋散发 出柔和的灯光，空气里弥漫了香料酒辛辣而迷人的 气味。基督降临节到了，著名的纽伦堡集市上到处都 是传统的印记。从用李子干和胡桃仁做成的可爱的 Zwetschgenmännle馅饼小人，到无处不在的德式 香肠，大小摊位上摆满了各式各样的传统当地特产。 然而，最重要的或许还要数那些令人垂涎欲滴的胡 椒蜂蜜饼。 胡椒蜂蜜饼是姜饼的一种，每逢节庆时分，就在 德国各地大卖特卖。而纽伦堡的胡椒蜂蜜饼如今更 是远近驰名，成为这座城市的一大标志。 胡椒蜂蜜饼的历史可追溯至中古时期，14世纪 第一次出现了有关修道院生产胡椒饼的正式记录。 在当时，由于盛产蜂蜜，纽伦堡附近郁郁苍苍的森林 地带被称作“德意志帝国的蜜蜂花园”。这些蜂蜜很 快就作为甜料被用于各种产品；与此同时，远走全球 各地的商人们带回了丁香、肉桂、茴芹、肉豆蔻和生 姜等等香料，并将这些香料和蜂蜜结合在一起，胡椒

蜂蜜饼就这样诞生了。 如果您以为纽伦堡的胡椒蜂蜜饼和德国其他地 区生产的没什么两样，那可就大错特错了。纽伦堡特 产胡椒蜂蜜饼当中最赫赫有名的或许就是伊丽森姜 饼（elisenlebkuchen）。据民间传说，这种姜饼是18 世纪一位面包师发明的。他的女儿伊丽莎白遗传了 母亲身上的顽疾，为了替女儿治病，他严格选配最名 贵的原料（大量磨碎后的坚果和优质香料），制成了 后来的伊丽森姜饼。他的做法一直延续至今，现在的 伊丽森姜饼一定会含有不少于25%的坚果和不多于 10%的面粉。当地点心铺Lebküchnerei Eckstein的 经营者Anna Eckstein肯定地说，伊丽森姜饼的绝 佳品质值得信任。 胡椒蜂蜜饼已经成为了纽伦堡美食当中的一道 亮丽风景，许多有幸在城中经营的点心铺都荣获欧 盟地理标志保护认证，这也说明了其产品身上的传 统特色与独特标识。许多人把胡椒蜂蜜饼当作家族 生意来经营，每一家点心铺都有一份代代相传的秘 密配方，他们根据配方烹制出各不相同的胡椒蜂蜜 饼；每一家店铺也都有着属于自己的忠实追随者。正 如Eckstein所说， “我们的顾客群大都是寻求一流品 质和手工制作的本地常客。我们经营小众市场，不必 与大型生产商苦苦竞争。” Gstatter点心铺是另一个这样的商家，现由创 始人家族的第三代传人掌柜。创始人的孙子Harald Gstatter说， “像我们家这样的点心铺做的胡椒蜂蜜 饼之所以能脱颖而出，是因为我们按照秘传配方， 严选优质原料，而且我们卖的姜饼都是新鲜出炉 的。”Gstatter和Lebküchnerei Eckstein这类点 心铺的胡椒蜂蜜饼都是每日新鲜烘烤，不含任何防 腐剂。 在Gstatter点心铺，每个季度都有8000至 10000份手工胡椒蜂蜜饼出炉。Gstatter说， “我们 通常在十月至圣诞节期间制作胡椒蜂蜜饼，但如果 九月寒冷多雨的话，我们也可以早些开工，因为天气 一冷，人们就想吃胡椒蜂蜜饼！” 胡椒蜂蜜饼的生产商既有小型家族点心铺， 也有大型加工厂。说到后者，Lebkuchen Schmidt 就是纽伦堡规模最大、最有名的厂商之一。这家 公司可谓是家喻户晓，在旺季每天都要出炉近三 百万份胡椒蜂蜜饼。这些胡椒蜂蜜饼被邮寄至世 界各地的顾客，也有一部分在130间品牌时令商店 销售。Lebkuchen Schmidt的出口经理 Juergen Merkel表示， “当你想到纽伦堡，胡椒蜂蜜饼就会映 入脑海。能生产在世界范围内都备受赞誉与青睐的 优质产品，我们感到非常自豪。” 大大小小的点心铺显然都深有同感。所有的胡 椒蜂蜜饼生产商都深深为他们的产品感到骄傲。到 城里走一走您就会发现，纽伦堡的胡椒蜂蜜饼可远 不止是姜饼的一个品种。不论您想让它嵌满杏仁、
沾上巧克力还是裹一层糖衣，它都代表着纽伦堡风 味之精髓。 lebkuchen-eckstein.de, baeckerei-gstatter.de, lebkuchen-schmidt.com
