Introduction
About the Biedermeier coffee
The term »Biedermeier« comes from the fictional character Gottlieb Biedermaier.
The poet Ludwig Eichrodt and the doctor Adolf Kußmaul published numerous poems under this pseudonym from 1855 onwards, in which he is portrayed as a poetic village teacher and philistine at the same time, »for whom his small room, his narrow garden, his unsightly patch and the meagre lot of a despised village schoolmaster help him to achieve earthly bliss.«
