Drubba

Die Fa. Drubba betreibt in mehreren Bereichen ihr Geschäft am Titisee. Einer davon ist der Bootsverleih und die Rundfahrten.
Im 30min — Takt gibt es Rundfahrten um den See, mit einer Ausstiegsmöglichkeit an einem Ausflugsrestaurant derselben Firma. Wir fuhren mit der Titus, einem im altrömischen Stil nachgebauten Boötes. Die Infos auf der Fahrt waren gut und die familienfreundliche Preisgestaltung lobenswert.
Die Rundfahrt gibt einen guten Überblick, was an den Ufern des Titisee los ist.

Romantic Cuckoo clocks and a lot more of romance.
Titisee or where the Cuckoo Clocks do come from.
Some round about 50 years ago a family had a good idea, selling and producing the hand carved wooden black forest cuckoo clock artists work. They started with a small kiosk selling their cuckoo clocks, being proud of the handmade wood carved small bird houses with the big pendulums, the panted water-​clocks where the mill is actually driven by water.
These top quality mechanical cuckoo clocks are treasured not only as a rare and reliable present for your folks home, but also as a real true time-​piece which will serve you for years and years.
The Drubba Family, as the leading marketers of that stuff are a special kind of folks. Their recent family history is a unique sample of post war entrepreneurs.
They came from their Titisee Black Forest region, where it all began in 1956 with Klaus and Ursula Drubba coming to Titisee and working with a major producer of these beloved cuckoo clocks, Hansen, starting with a small sales place in the known Titiseehotel. Later a kiosk, then next they acquired a rent boats for rafting out on the lake.
In 1973 they ventured to get completely independent, had more boats like the crusaider-​boat Götz von Berlichingen (medieval German warlord-​hero) and in 1980 a true copy of the Roman Warshop Titus, in 1978 the Centre of Black Forest Watches was opened, widened to the Drubba the Fun of making a Present and the Restaurant at the Mill.
Expansion went on, in 1983 they opened Hotel Alemannenhof, in 1986 Hotel Hofgut Sternen. In 1988 followed the production of blown glass products.
In 1996 the sons took over, more beds, more turn over, another hotel, the story of success goes on.
And the secret of the success all the time is: good quality products, good, reliable service, sympathetic style to treat their guests and clients. Going on that way the company may prosper another 50 years or longer.
And, as we know, the love for authentic black forest cuckoo clocks and that kind of ethnic stuff of good quality is still growing.
Nowadays you even find their products in the mayor airports of Europe as most beloved trophies of the souvenir hunters looking for true German folklore products.
Long may it live, the Black Forest CuCkoo Clock and its sympathetic small cuckoo bird inside.
