"Parkettschmeichler" translates to "parquet flatterer" in English. However, it is often used metaphorically to describe someone who flatters or ingratiates themselves, particularly in a social or professional context.

Music Summer Concert with the "Parkettschmeichler" A Journey Through the Golden Era of Entertainment Music On Saturday, July 11, the Kurpark Ottenhöfen will transform into a musical stage of the highest caliber: The "Parkettschmeichler" will take the audience into the lively and charming world of the 1920s and 30s – an era full of melodies with wit, elegance, and a touch of irony. The 16-member ensemble from Kappelrodeck and the Achertal presents a lovingly curated program featuring classics such as "At the 5 O'Clock Tea in the Beach Café" and "I Dance with You into the Sky" – complemented by nearly forgotten musical gems that shine anew thanks to original arrangements. A highlight of the evening will be the charismatic tenor Christian Bäuerle, whose expressive voice and stage presence will create goosebump moments. The musical director, arranger, and pianist Thomas Feigenbutz will guide the program with a wink and charming moderation. Dancing is not only allowed but explicitly encouraged: A dance floor will be set up in the Kurpark, just like last year. The audience is invited to swing their dancing feet and experience the music in the truest sense of the word. Culinary delights are well taken care of: Grilled treats, fine snacks, and refreshing drinks will be available to fully enjoy the summer evening. Dress code desired: A stylish journey through time included! Guests are welcome – indeed, encouraged – to dress stylishly: Whether in a Charleston dress, feather boa, or dinner jacket – those who dress in the style of the Roaring Twenties will become part of the event! The three most original costumes will be awarded with small but fine prizes. Free admission! Experience an unforgettable evening full of nostalgia, music, and joy of life – at the Music Summer Concert with the "Parkettschmeichler"!
