Last quiz answer:  the store, Doppellotte, takes its name from Das doppelte Lottchen by Erich Kästner.  The two names mean essentially the same thing:  "Double Lotte" (Lotte is a name short for Charlotte).  It was written in the late 1940s by Dresden favorite-son author Kästner, a writer of mostly light fiction.  (On the more serious side, I can highly recommend his Fabian.)  Intended for the cinema, Double Lottie has been filmed several times in German and in English, the most recent of which is The Parent Trap by Disney, featuring the young and talented Lindsay Lohan playing the roles of both twins who were separated at birth.

Congratulations to Constance, who figured out part of the answer, and submitted the only response.  She noticed the "Doppel" in the store name, figured it meant "Double," and thus referred to twins.  And she knows The Parent Trap, though I'm not sure why.
