Sternburg is a super popular beer in Germany, especially on the east side of the country. It's flavorful, affordable, and a big part of Leipzig's culture.

Think momentarily about a lone figure gazing over a vast, foggy mountain landscape. I can imagine what passed through your mind, and I bet it references a painting. That's the iconic image in Caspar David Friedrich's famous painting, "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog."

Schöneberg has a story to tell. It dates back to 1264, a tiny village that rose from the ashes after a devastating fire in the 1700s. Industry boomed, grand mansions appeared, and the neighborhood became vital to the city after becoming part of Greater Berlin.
