The parishes are not allowed to ask an entrance fee, but it's allowed to sell Bratwurst and Fassbier... For the protestant parishes (evangelische Kirche in Deutschland), their official guidelines say that every parish can decide for themselve to sell alcohol or not (Precisely, the question is if a parish should ABSTAIN from selling alcohol...). For more information: http://www.fangemeinde-ekd.de/ I haven't heard (and can't imagine) of any event in Germany where they were so prudish not to provide beer. Hey, we are in Germany and this is Fußball! Chris,

Perhaps the answer is to change the Bavarian brewing laws to allow the Brewmeister to use Holy Water instead of plain mountain spring water. Chris, not that I know of.

The spelling is Fernsehturm and not Furnsehturm. While you guys are in Berlin I hope you take the time to visit the Gedenknisskirche in Berlin. It is the church that was left in ruins as a memorial to WW2. I was only once in Berlin and that was during the world cup of 1982. What really amazed me was the war damage that could still be seen in East Berlin 37 years after the end of the war. Seeing the wall and the graves behind the Reichstag of people who died trying to escape to freedom was heart wrenching. Maybe next time I visit my homeland I will have a chance to see Berlin again. It is supposed to be an awesome city. Peter that was an excellent article. The spelling is Fernsehturm and not Furnsehturm.
