The history of Dutch matjes begins with Wilhelm Beukelzoon from Biervliet, a small fishing village in 'Zeeuws Vlaanderen', in the southernmost part of the Dutch province of Zeeland. In 1395, he made the discovery that would change his homeland forever and make it the great power of herring.
How matjes came to Germany
Herring fishermen, tulip growers, spice traders and shipbuilders - the Dutch have always been good at crafts and manual labor. This was particularly appreciated by "Old Fritz", Frederick the Great. His father had already brought Dutch master builders to Prussia. They built Sanssouci Palace for his son. It was situated on marshy ground and the Dutch were good with wetlands. They brought their luxury foods to Prussia: tobacco in earthen clay pipes, potatoes from Zeeland and herring, matjes, from their coasts. King Frederick was quite astonished. The delicacies kept the man healthy and lively, so he ordered his soldiers to "eat herring and potatoes." From that moment on, the clay pipe and matjes adorned the helmet of the Prussian officer of the guard and kept body and soul together. Prussia became herring country. And Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck was also a herring lover.
We at StäV also pay tribute to this special fish with a special buffer experience and live music from Knipp Gumbo
The musical meal will be hearty and hearty: Rock'n'Roll and kindred spirits between the Paladins, Bad Religion, Buddy Miller and Insterburg & Co as well as their own songs from various creative periods and selected cover versions. And as if that wasn't enough, the whole thing is served with Low German lyrics!
If the weather is good, we will also open our terrace for you!
