Like Wolfram Siebeck and Herbert Schönberner, Lothar Eiermann is an indispensable part of the German culinary miracle. Born in Stühlingen in Baden-Württemberg in 1945, he began his training as a chef in 1959. After successfully completing his apprenticeship and  spending a short period of time in the training company, he went to Switzerland in 1963, worked in many different kitchen positions as well as restaurants, completed a degree in business administration, then went to Scotland and England. Only after 10 years, in 1973, did he return to the FRG as a chef and took over the head position in the gourmet restaurant of the noble Wald- & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe.

The donation of Lothar Eiermann includes mainly documents relating to his professional career in the gourmet restaurant of the Wald- & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe, for example press reports, speeches and correspondence.
