fly to Germany to visit Aero Friedrichshafen
because part of the beauty of Aero is its location
Friedrichshafen lies on the shore of Lake Constance in the foothills of the Alps
making the area a year-round vacation destination
Hop on one of the boats crisscrossing the lake and visit the island of Mainau
or explore charming Lindau or the Austrian city of Bregenz
Aero takes place April 1 through 4; tickets can be purchased on site or online
Free shuttles to the airport leave from and return to the Friedrichshafen train station
If you want to spoil yourself, book a ride on a Zeppelin NT
It’s hands-down the best and most relaxing way to appreciate the beauty of the area
but even the shortest one will give you a wonderful view over Lake Constance and the majestic peaks of the Alps
The ticket office is right next to the hangar
Please introduce yourself if you see me (I’ll be the one in the black AOPA shirt at the AOPA booth); I’d love to hear what you think
by all means stay in Friedrichshafen proper
you should opt for one of the tiny villages in the vicinity
but the majority of places to stay are family-owned
The atmosphere is reminiscent of the 1950s
with a promenade along the lake and weekly markets included
Langenargen and Kressbronn are typical examples
Situated right on the shore of Lake Constance and only 20 minutes away from Friedrichshafen they offer all amenities in a laid-back setting
Akzent Hotel Löwen
Hotel Engel
Seevital Hotel Schiff
Friedrichshafen offers an abundance of cafés and restaurants along the lake
For a simple dinner on a lake-view terrace
both Hotel Restaurant Engel and Loewen in Langenargen are perfect
A more elegant setting can be found at Schloss Montfort
The local specialty is a freshwater fish called “Felchen” (perch)
usually the day’s catch from the lake

Modesty and hard work always shine brightly in the constellation of stars
At this year's Michelin award ceremony in Hamburg
Roland Pieber achieved what he still describes as an "unexpected" feat: two stars for SEO Küchenhandwerk
the small restaurant at the Seevital Hotel in Langenargen with only four tables
Let's rewind the tape to understand what happened
the young Austrian talent had already gained significant recognition
winning over the judges of the prestigious Junge Wilden competition in 2018 with his delightful creations and taking home first prize
Pieber moved from Schlossküche Balthasar in Walpersdorf (awarded two toques) to the Seevital Hotel on Lake Constance
he became the head chef of the hotel's restaurant
he focused on exclusivity and individuality on a smaller scale
he and his partner (and sous chef) Kathrin Stöcklöcker were awarded their first Michelin star for their hard work (they practically ran everything themselves
the chef has always defended his star with pride
but he was especially surprised a short while ago when the Michelin Guide personally invited him to this year's ceremony
Pieber offered international cuisine with a touch of German and Austrian tradition
Visitors could expect a surprise 8-course menu
with their dishes served personally by the chef
"I interact with guests at every course to get direct feedback." Whether the workload contributed to the closure is unknown
However, now the chef and his partner Kathrin Stöcklöcker have left everything behind. Not only that: besides the kitchen staff, the hotel director Michael Ritter also resigned, several media outlets report. And the restaurant has vanished from the web's radar. The hotel's management responded with a rather generic press release
It then stated: "After a necessary creative break
the two will continue to pursue their passion for high-level gastronomy in the future." To date
with the restaurant's Instagram page inactive and the sudden sinking of the project after the second star's arrival
the situation remains nothing short of mysterious

“It was a long day for us with seven races but we won four so we’re pleased” commented Tarnacki
“Our tactics around the course were very good today
They are heavier boats here and the conditions today were not easy
we also know we need to improve our starts”

7 Bilder7 BilderFoto: Feuerwehr LangenargenIm BMK Yachthafen in Langenargen ist am Sonntag ein Lithium-Eisenphosphat-Akku an Bord einer Bente 24 in Brand geraten
Es gab einen LeichtverletztenLaut Polizeibericht wurde am vergangenen Sonntag um 10.50 Uhr der Akku gerade geladen
und Stichflammen aus dem Niedergang schlugen
Zwei vier und acht Jahre alte Kinder befanden sich zu dem Zeitpunkt an Bord
Die Eltern und mehrere Zeugen reagierten schnell und diese unverletzt aus dem brennenden Boot retten
Mit mehreren Feuerlöschern wurde der Brand gelöscht
Doch eine Explosion verletzte den Vater der Kinder leicht
Der Rettungsdienst brachte ihn zur Beobachtung in eine Klinik
Foto: Feuerwehr LangenargenEinsatzkräfte der Feuerwehr im BMK Yachthafen in LangenargenLaut Bericht handelte es sich bei dem Akku um die fest verbaute Stromversorgung für einen Elektroantrieb
Auf den Fotos ist hingegen eine tragbare Powerstation im Cockpit zu sehen
wie zuvor irrtümlich in der Pressemitteilung der Polizei beschrieben
An Bord des Bootes gab es keine Elektroinstallation
Der in Brand geratene Akku gehörte zu einem Elektroantrieb
Er wurde mit einem Verlängerungskabel am Landstrom geladen
Die Powerstation im Bild ist tatsächlich nicht die Brandursache und war zur Stromversorgung von Geräten wie Smartphones und Tablets an Bord
Erst kürzlich haben wir Feuerlöscher für Lithium-Akku-Brände getestet
Die Empfehlung der Brandschutzexperten lautete dabei
die Crew wenn möglich schnell in Sicherheit zu bringen
da der Brand leicht außer Kontrolle gerät und die Rauchgase extrem toxisch sind
Als besonders häufigen Grund für brennende Akkus identifizierte Holger Flint vom Versicherer Pantaenius fehlerhafte Ladetechnik
Dass es sich bei dem Unglück am Bodensee um einen Lithium-Eisenphosphat-Akku handelte
Sollte aber das Ladegerät bei voll geladenem Akku nicht abschalten
bietet auch diese Zellchemie keinen vollständigen Schutz gegen einen Brand
