From the year 1975 it is said that on an evening of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Werner Heisenberg, Nobel Laureate in Physics 1932, interrupted explaining his theory of everything to link his arms with the student to his right and the young man to his left and participate in a so-called "Schunkelwalzer" - a rhythmic way of swaying to the music.

Yesterday evening at the Get-Together Evening in the Inselhalle Heisenberg would surely have danced again. Nearly 700 young researchers did the traditional Polonaise and started dancing with plenty Nobel Laureates aswell as members of the Council and Foundation of the Lindau Meetings. 

Get some more impressions of this beautiful tradition:

Last year Tobias Maier posted very nice pictures from the get-together Monday 2009.
