The result was not only culinary: the many visitors donated a total of around 4000 euros for the family members of the Syrians who are staying in the crisis region and are dependent on help.
"We give a large part of the income directly to the families of our Syrians," explains the helper group coordinator Ines Lobenstein.
The rest will be donated to the aid organizations "Doctors Without Borders" and the "Orienthelfer".
