Do you choose yellow, green, red like strawberry or blue like smurf ice cream? Or would you prefer C for Chocolate? Of course it’s about ice cream, what do you think 12 days before the election? Because today Olaf Höhn, head of “Florida Eis”, wanted to reopen his mother branch on Klosterstrasse in Berlin-Spandau – at least that was the plan. It all began in Klosterstraße in 1984. At that time, Höhn took over the Café Annelie and built up his ice cream empire.
The store has been closed since the fall. Reason: “renovation measures”. The branch was supposed to open on January 31st, but the shop is dark. Is there anything else going on or is the mother branch threatened with the end like Florida at City Hall? In the business building Ellipse were in October surprisingly the lights went out. The Tagesspiegel newsletter for Spandau radioed right away: What’s the matter, Mr. Höhn?
“Klosterstrasse needs more time for the renovation than planned, because we ordered a new ice cream counter and found that the floor under the old ice cream counter hadn’t played up for so many years,” the Florida boss tells the Tagesspiegel newsletter for Spandau.
The ice cream counter is also a problem. “The manufacturer of the ice cream counter from Italy wanted or should deliver on January 5th – the counter should now be delivered at the end of the week.” new splendor.” Then spring is just around the corner.
And what happens to the ellipse? In 2005 Höhn had the oval house built at the town hall and named it ‘Ellipse’ – above is my photo from the town hall. The Florida boss paid 3.7 million euros at the time and the daily mirror wrote: “Olaf Höhn gives Spandau a giant egg”. At that time, Höhn stepped in as a financier because the actual investor had canceled. The ice cream shop had 250 seats, but was often empty. Any new ideas?
“There will be a completely new concept for the Ellipse, in which I am not personally involved,” says Höhn to the Spandau newsletter. “This concept includes a coffee house operation, as well as a beer garden and shopping facilities.”
A beer garden and an extension of the Ellipse are planned.

“An increase is also planned. This would make the location even more attractive,” says Höhn and sends greetings to City Councilor Thorsten Schatz, CDU, and City Councilor Carola Brückner, SPD. “I hope that the city of Spandau will make the right decision here.”
