On Tuesday, May 10, from 7.30 to 9 p.m., the topic will be "Sustainable, safe, enjoyable - what meets the modern "taste"?". The food industry is in upheaval, agriculture and food production are changing. Forms of production and business are being put to the test and the origin of raw materials is being critically examined. New types of food are conquering the market and the question arises more than ever: what is popular with consumers, what do they like and how much indulgence is allowed or required?

Andrea Büttner, food chemist, is Managing Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV and heads the Chair of Flavor and Odor Research at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg. The event is being held in cooperation with the German Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech), of which she is a member.

"Kurt Landauer - the president of FC Bayern - correspondence with Maria Baumann" is the title of the lecture on Wednesday, May 11, 7.30 to 9 pm. The life story of Kurt Landauer (1884-1961) from Munich has been recorded in several books and has also been made into a film.

He was the legendary president of FC Bayern and was one of the few people persecuted as Jews under National Socialism who decided to return home from emigration after the Shoah. The sensational estate of Kurt Landauer and his wife Maria Baumann (1899-1971) is now accessible and opens up unknown insights into Landauer's family history in the pre-war period, Landauer's emigration to Switzerland and post-war history in Munich.

In a discussion, the two editors Jutta Fleckenstein and Rachel Salamander will provide insights into the now published correspondence with Maria Baumann and the previously unknown biography of Kurt Landauer.
