"It`s piano time!" , 04 February 2012
Dear members and friends,
For our outing on February 4, 2012, we are very happy to offer our Club members the opportunity to visit a well-established Swabian company: the Carl A. Pfeiffer piano factory in Leonberg. Founded in 1862 downtown Stuttgart, the company quickly grew to a prestigious producer of pianos due to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the founder. Neither the depression after WW I nor the total destruction by fire bombs in 1943 could put an end to the factory. Their products and the reputation of the Pfeiffer family among their customers, artists, music lovers and professors secured the existence of the company until today. We are grateful that the current CEO, Dr. Georg Pfeiffer, opens his house for the GAC 1948 and will give us a tour through his factory with the topics: products, production, restoration, and, of course, history. We invite you to join us for this special event.
Meeting point: In front of the Pfeiffer building, Neue Ramtelstr. 48, 71229 Leonberg. Parking is available.
Time to meet: 15:00 hrs; tour starts at 15:30 hrs sharp. Duration approx. 1,5 hrs.
Cost: 3 EUR per person (will be donated to the Leonberg Public University VHS).
How to get there: Preferably by car; or take the S-Bahn line No. 6 to Leonberg Bahnhof and then by taxi (approx 8 EUR).
Please see map >>
After the tour we will get together for dinner in the historic wine cellar of the
Hotel Hirsch in Leonberg-Eltingen, Hindenburg Str. 1, Phone 07152-97660.
We will order à la carte. Dinner will be paid individually.
(For participants without a car, we offer car pooling).
