Well, at least it's an interesting collection.  Haussner's has its ups
and downs, but frankly I was a bit underwhelmed by the veal dishes.
Their wurst is better than most, I suppose, and the desserts are quite
good, but it's more of a Maryland/German hybrid.

Really, I haven't found a great German restaurant yet.  Old Europe
(Wisconsin Ave., north end of G'town) is the best I've tried locally,
with Dortmunder on tap, good meat dumplings and a reasonable facsimile
of schweinshaxen.  The interior is a mixture of kitsch (a huge but
crude sailboat model dominates the ceiling, and various handpainted
state flags placard the walls) and taste (behind the hostess stand is a
swell collection of antique clay pipes; some of the decorative steins
are nice).

In a pinch, the Wurzburg Haus (somewhere off Muncaster Mill Rd., I
think...is that Olney?) has passable sausages and Tyrolian dumplings.

IMHO.
