Today we visited the Kulturhaus in Luedensheid. It is ~30 years old, but it has remained on the cutting edge of technology. For instance, its cooling system can refresh the auditorium's air during intermission and its stage/orchestra section can be adjusted to accommodate additional seating.
After the tour, we attended a Rotary Club meeting and then enjoyed a tour of Ulrich Baberg's (third from the right) private collection of antique typewriters, calculators, and other office machinery.
In the evening, we attended a "blind" dinner, where we were served and ate in complete darkness. This restaurant is staffed by people with physical disabilities and our waiter was almost completely blind. Although we were in complete darkness, he was able to serve and assist us during our meal. The meal lasted 2 hours. It was amazing how our other senses were heightened to compensate for our lack of sight. In the end, we gained an appreciation and understanding for those who go through life with physical challenges.
