The guest, who wants to enjoy all the culinary specialties the Hotel Atlantis can offer, has to take himself to the in-house restaurant Schifferklause. In its center the comfortably rebuilt carcass of the old Seuten Deern. This ancient skiff became well known, as it did not only cross all seven seas under German flag, but also under English, Dutch and Danish flags, explained the waiter, while he presented me The Menu. I actually first mistake it for a statement of expenses of an especially uppity French sales representative. I ask myself what is supposed to be that so very special concerning this Château? Apart from the price? Really, I don’t even pay that much including all expenses for my monthly rent.

I choose a sumptuous fish dish and a white wine to go with it, which I can afford. After the meal, I enjoy the cozy atmosphere and have another bottle. As I’ve taken the New Testament with me, I start to read a little. But I leave it on the table when I have to go to the toilet. Everything there is spotlessly clean. My respect to the toilet attendant. Those who can do nothing but clean toilets in life, shall just clean toilets all life. Why not? I appreciate a work like this a lot, because I truly do not appreciate dirty toilets. I mean, who actually does enjoy stinking, filthy, raunchy toilets? But many hold themselves to be something better, and reject occupations like that.
