Rotenburg an der Fulda
As the days grow shorter and November sets in, the traditional season for enjoying goose begins. The goose brunch at Göbel’s Hotel Rodenberg combines culinary delights centered around goose with a lovely occasion to enjoy time together and take a break from everyday life. But why is goose so firmly part of culinary tradition in November? Behind it lies a story that goes back to the early Middle Ages. According to legend, Martin of Tours hid in a goose pen out of humility when he was to be chosen as bishop. The birds’ loud cackling gave away his hiding place. Martin’s Day on November 11 still commemorates the saint, who stands for mercy and charity. There is also a historical custom: around this date, dues and rents were often due, and these were not infrequently paid in kind with goods such as a goose. This is how the Martin’s goose became an established part of autumn cuisine. At the goose brunch at Göbel’s Hotel Rodenberg, enjoyment takes center stage. The goose gives the culinary experience its seasonal character and makes the brunch a wonderful opportunity to get together with family and friends. The hotel is located on the Rodenberg above the half-timbered town of Rotenburg an der Fulda and offers a special setting for sociable hours. Anyone who would like to combine the visit with an excursion can also discover the historic old town of Rotenburg and the charming surroundings of the Fulda Valley. This turns the brunch into a delightful autumn day that combines tradition, hospitality, and time spent together.
