    Coming Up

    Since 2008, the kitchen at Gourmetrestaurant Berlins Krone in Bad Teinach-Zavelstein has been shaped by Franz Berlin. That kind of span matters in trade terms: it gives a house continuity, and it gives the work a settled rhythm. As küchendirektor, Berlin sits in the position that sets pace, standards, and the day-to-day temperature of the room. The same address also lists him as chef de cuisine, so the site’s leadership and execution remain tied to one kitchen and one working center.

    Where They Are Now

    At Berlins Krone, the current structure is built around two titles held by Franz Berlin: küchendirektor and chef de cuisine. The first points to oversight of the kitchen as a whole; the second points to the line, the service, and the practical discipline that keeps the pass moving. Since 2008, those roles have placed him inside the restaurant’s daily operating pattern in Bad Teinach-Zavelstein. The length of that tenure is part of the craft story here: consistency, measured control, and a fixed point of leadership over time.
