Plattduetsche Park Restaurant
Continental, German
1132 Hempstead Tpke., Franklin Square, NY, 11010
|
|
The Plattduetsche Park Restaurant & Caterers can trace its beginning to the year 1883, when the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen of Brooklyn and vicinity was formed. This society of immigrants from the flatlands of northern Germany (which is the meaning of plattduetsche) was created out of necessity for the welfare and support of its members. In those days, if you were injured or sick and couldn't work, then you were not able to feed or take care of your family. By belonging to a society such as this one, you would receive a daily stipend in case of hardship. Membership in the society also provided a place to gather with other people from northern Germany to talk and preserve heritage and traditions handed down from older generations. The society adopted as its motto "Eendracht makt Macht" or "In Unity is Strength" and the symbol of the beehive - although each individual bee is small, together they can accomplish amazing things.
To finance the organization, yearly beer festivals were held at various restaurants and beer gardens with raffles and shooting contests. In fact, the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen raised enough money to finance the purchase of land to build a hospital. The German Hospital Corporation was spun off independently once it was built and still stands today as Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. Members of the society could receive free healthcare at the clinic as well as any necessary hospitalization or surgery.
In the early 1900s, the real estate boom in Brooklyn wiped out many of the restaurants that had large beer gardens and open outdoor areas. This made holding the yearly fund-raising festivals difficult, so members of the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen began to look east for property to buy. A German farmer in Franklin Square sold them his land, which they divided into two parcels.

Black Forest Brew Haus

Beer has been a popular beverage since the earliest civilizations. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. The fine art of brewing, however, reached maturity in Europe of the Middle Ages. The finest beers have their origins in Germany. First brewed in homes and monasteries, German beers later became a popular commercial product. In order to insure consistency and quality, Duke Henry IV of Bavaria enacted the famous Reinheitsgebot, or purity law in 1516. It was the world's first regulation for food production and is still valid today. Reinheitsgbot specified that only hops, yeast, malt, and water can be used to make beer - nothing else. There are no additives, preservatives, or spices allowed. Reinheitsgbot set the standard for the quality of German Beer that has been unequaled in half a millennium. Privatbrauerei Hoepfner of Karlsruhe, Germany has been brewing in this spirit since 1798 and shares its knowledge and tradition with the Black Forest Brew Haus including materials, recipes, equipment, and even the brewmaster! All Black Forest beer is fresh brewed on our premises using only the finest imported yeast, hops and the purest filtered water.
