All these are based on the German meaning of Stamm, an expression for valued, well-known guests and customers who have an unusual loyality to the place that they frequent, be it because of other friends, good service or the atmosphere.
Therefore, Stammtisch is the cherished table, reserved for loyal, trusted, good guests.
Stammgast is the person invited to sit at the Stammtisch.
Stammkunde is the loyal customer who frequents a business, Stammplatz is the favored place a customer likes to sit at.
Stamm is the trunk of a tree, but it is also based on the direct translation of the word applied to the old Germanic tribes.
So join us and be a part of the tribe.
