About me

About me
I was born in a small village, about 40 kilometers away from Munich. At the age of 16 I began to visit Munich on weekends, just for shopping or having a coffee. When I was 20 I started to work in a picture agency as a trainee, then I changed to an advertising agency as a picture researcher. After two years I went back to a picture agency specialised on the topics food and interior. There, I started as an editor and wrote lots of small articles about interior image series.

After several years spent in the food industry, I started having my own restaurant. We are specialised on ribs and food from the smoker. Right now, my restaurant is not a spot at Spotted by Locals, but I hope my colleagues from Munich will write about it sooner or later.

I like travelling, cooking, eating, reading, writing, handicrafts work, playing the guitar and sports (swimming, surfing and boxing).

Why Munich?
Since the day I started to work in Munich, I fell in love with it. Fortunately, my colleagues showed me a lot of interesting spots. I like the fact, that Munich for me, has something village-like, but in another dimension.

It's just a one hour drive to go to the mountains or big lakes like Starnberger See. In Munich there is so much culture, very nice old buildings with character and there is a lot of tradition which the Bavarians are very proud of. But there are a lot of hidden pearls and black parties I want to show you. I hope I you share my enthusiasm!

The Flushing Meadows Munich

The Flushing Meadows

Matchpoint

"The Flushing Meadows" in Munich reminds me of tennis, not a hotel with a rooftop bar. The point is that it's one of the best hidden rooftops in the city.

Valentin Stüberl

Bar with basement atmosphere

"Valentin Stüberl" in Munich is one of my favorite spots in my favorite district called Dreimühlenviertel. It's an all-season bar but I love it in Autumn.
