Dear family and friends,

2026 is going to be a very special year for us: together, we are turning 140 years old! Naturally, we want to celebrate this milestone in style. We’ve decided to host a party in our “second home.” You can look forward to some Spanish/Catalan flair and great live music.

📅 Date

For logistical reasons, we have chosen Saturday, October 24th. On March 13th (my birthday), it can still be quite chilly. And in August, when Hannelore celebrates her birthday on the 17th, accommodation on the Costa Brava is extremely expensive.

🎁 Menu & Gifts

We are expecting many guests and truly hope that you do not bring any gifts—especially nothing meant to be displayed in the house or hung on a wall. We are organizing a high-quality menu at an affordable price and, as mentioned, providing excellent live music. More details on this will follow soon.

🗺️ Location and Travel Info

We will be celebrating in L’Estartit, right by the sea, featuring a 7 km long sandy beach and beautiful medieval towns nearby.

  • Distance: Approximately 1,200 km from Bensheim.
  • Arrival by Plane: You can fly from Karlsruhe to Girona (GRO) or from Frankfurt to Barcelona (BCN).
  • Onward Travel: From these airports, it is about 150 km to the destination, which takes roughly 2 hours by train or rental car.

There are several hotels directly in town. Since October 24th marks the end of the season, these should be booked early. We are happy to help you with reservations or suggest possible excursions in the area!

It is still quite some time until our party, but here is the preliminary plan for this special day!

🍴 Welcome Lunch

For those traveling from abroad, we are organizing a joint lunch to kick off the celebrations.

🎸 Evening at Sala Mariscal

From 8:00 PM, we will meet at the famous Sala Mariscal.

The venue is private for our party until midnight—after that, we can continue the celebration for as long as we want!

🎶 Live Music: The Houndogs

We’ve booked a great band! The Houndogs will perform a fantastic show with music you all know and love. The band is expected to start around 9:00 PM.

We will ensure that sufficient wine, beer, and non-alcoholic drinks are available throughout the evening.
