The "Mokka-Milch-Eisbar" becomes "Mokka Milch" - and with it, a Berlin cult bar from the GDR era returns in a new guise. A special guest, Thomas Natschinski, dropped by for the opening on Wednesday evening: the now 78-year-old and his band dedicated their own song "In der Mokka-Milch-Eisbar" (1969) to the restaurant in Karl-Marx-Allee. Natschinski sang the lines "In der Mokka-Milch-Eisbar hat sie mich geseh'n, in der Mokka-Milch-Eisbar, da ist es gescheh'n" countless times.
"We had our rehearsal room around the corner here. And the "Mokka-Milch-Eisbar" was our favorite place," the singer, composer and songwriter tells the German Press Agency. "Before rehearsals, after rehearsals, there in the corner was our regulars' table. We sat there and drank Coke with vodka." Sometimes there was also an ice cream sundae. "That was the reason why we said: Let's make a song."
