Bambergtrip - some questions

Posted by Jason on 2018-03-15 04:19:00

Hmmm, I've had this discussion with a number of locals (and a notable pair of Hamburgers) over the years: is it Mönchs-am-bach i.e. Mönchs-an dem-bach loosely translated as 'Monks on the stream' or is it Mönch-sambach which would be 'Monks (of) Sambach. Sambach is a village not too far away near Pommersfelden.  I think the conclusion was in line with Gunnar i.e. Mönch-sambach. What is for certain is that if Mark Anderson reads this he'll be getting cold sweats... his struggle to pronounce one of his favourite breweries in a constant thorn in his side :)
