In northern Switzerland, near Solothurn, lies the village of Nennigkofen, where the family doctor takes his leisurely rides in his carriage. That looks like fun!
The Fischerstube Brewery AG is a Swiss brewery headquartered in Basel. It produces beer under the brand name “Ueli Bier.”
In 1974, the physician Hans-Jakob Nidecker (1919–2005)[4] acquired the Fischerstube restaurant at Rheingasse 45 in Kleinbasel, which had stood vacant for several years, in order to revive the local economy. Nidecker grew up on Rebgasse, had deep roots in Kleinbasel, and was a master of the Kleinbasel Rebhaus honorary society for several years. As early as 1970, Nidecker had rendered outstanding services to Basel’s traditions when he established a foundation specifically for the purpose of saving the Basel ferries from commercialization and an uncertain future. The first tenants of the newly opened Fischerstube were the innkeepers Silvia and Mike Künzli.
His son, Niklaus Nidecker, born in 1949, is a general practitioner and practices in Erlach on Lake Biel. He is married and has two adult daughters. His hobbies are beer and sailing. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors at the brewery and oversees customers and employees. The wife of another brother (a musician) is the managing director.
The other son, Dr. Andreas Nidecker, is a radiologist in Basel and a member of the brewery council. His presentation can be seen at the bottom of this page.
On November 13, 1974, the first beer flowed from the tap of the Fischerstube. Nidecker chose “Ueli” as the beer’s name,[8] a figure from the tradition of the three Kleinbasel honorary societies. The brewery began small, with an annual output of just 475 hectoliters, but with three varieties.[9] Nidecker quickly realized that he needed to hire a qualified master brewer. He hired Anton Welti, a native of Emmental, who had just returned from Ghana in West Africa, where he had worked for several years as a master brewer for a large brewery. The choice proved to be a stroke of luck, and Welti contributed significantly to the company’s success. He remained loyal to Ueli-Bier as a master brewer for 34 years and during this time repeatedly developed new and original beers until he retired in 2009.[10] In 2010, Jürgen Pinke became master brewer.
It is a pleasure for me to send you a photo for the DoctorsHobbies.com web. It has been shot in the Wallis Alps in the area of Trento.
My environmental activities consist of two groups, the medical doctors of environmental protection and with energy politics at the medical doctors of social responsibility. We are working against atomic war.
Even if not every colleague can be active politically it seems to be important to be active in one or another form. Since our profession still receives a lot of respect and doors open more easily we can achieve something!
Besides this I play tennis, sometimes also Alp Horn (!), I am singing as bass in the Basel Vocal Ensemble and I go jogging, apart from the mountain climbing. As founder and member of the Basel “association for medical cooperation” I visit our partner hospitals in Serbia and Zambia on a yearly basis and teach there.
An actual project is to supply 70 egyptian hospitals with x-ray equipment. My special task is to assure not only the correct installation of the machines but also the correct use by the staff!
Hoping that these informations are useful I send my warmest greetings

Let us hope many others will think and act the same way! Yours

Die Zauberflöte zählt zu den bekanntesten und meistgespieltesten Opern weltweit und versetzt den Zuhörer vom ersten Ton der Ouvertüre in eine Märchenwelt. Allen bekannt ist vor allem die Arie des Vogelfängers Papageno. Mozart schrieb dieses Werk im Auftrag von Emanuel Schikander und beendete seine Komposition innerhalb von drei Wochen kurz vor seinem Tod im Jahr 1791. Unter dem Dirigat von Franz Welser-Möst und in der Inszenierung des englischen Regisseurs Jonathan Miller erlebte das Publikum eine überzeugende Aufführung im Zürcher Opernhaus, die Maßstäbe setzt. Die Individualität dieser Produktion ist nicht zuletzt auch auf die exzellente Auswahl der Interpreten zurückzuführen. Glänzend disponiert sind der Tenor Piotr Beczala als Tamino, Matti Salminen als Sarastro, Anton Scharinger als Papageno, Elena Moşuc als Königin der Nacht oder Julia Neumann als Papagena.
