"US tourist accused of triggering a wave of crimes following a 50-year absence from Hofbräuhaus, Munich's renowned brewery"
In the heart of Bavaria lies the city of Munich, a place steeped in history and tradition. Recently, the city's iconic Hofbräuhaus played host to an extraordinary event.
American tourist Carol, who was a professor of pedagogy, travelled around Western Europe by train for weeks in Summer 1975. During her journey, she visited Munich and celebrated her 23rd birthday at the Hofbräuhaus. It was here that she "borrowed" a Mass stein, a traditional beer mug, which unfortunately remained in her possession for the next 50 years.
Fast forward to the present day, Carol, now an elderly woman, found the stolen stein at her home in Florida. Moved by a sense of responsibility and a desire to right a wrong, she decided to return it. During a visit from Florida, specifically for the purpose of the return, she met with Tobias Ranzinger, Hofbräuhaus press spokesman, who showed her around the establishment.
Tobias was impressed by Carol and described her as a great woman. In a letter to the establishment before her visit, Carol expressed her excitement about returning the stolen stein. The act of returning the stolen stein is a tradition in Munich, with people occasionally returning stolen Hofbräuhaus steins at the end of their lives to make amends, with the motto: "I stole, now I make it right."
