Dortmund also has a famous soccer team, Borussia, Markus knows ! And Dortmund also was the industrial center of germany , together with Gelsenkirchen and Essen, but these days are gone.
I lived in the Ruhr Valley up until very recently, spending a total of 10 years there. The last few years I spent in Dortmund but my German "home town" is Bochum. So, please don't talk to me about those "Zecken"!
Oh, and we had Italian wine with the meal for those who wanted it and champagne too.
Looking at the picture again I realise what an international affair the whole thing was. We only had something like 65 guests but they included representatives from ...
England
Spain
Ireland
Scotland
Germany
Galicia
Portugal
Italy
Bosnia
Croatia
Poland
Nicaragua
Turkey (both ethnic Turks and Turkish Kurds)
Latvia
Ukraine
USA
Iraq
and Guyana
We had Christians, Jews and Muslims, Europeans, Asians, Americans, Black and White all at the same party ....
And we even had one Bavarian guy!
