Spotter since 2017
About me
Born in the south of Germany, on Lake Constance, close to Switzerland and Austria, I started traveling as a little boy. Before college (social pedagogy), I traveled to Eastern Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Today I work as a TV producer in Cologne, having lived here for 16 years. I am still traveling, but I also go on ‘safaris’ in my home town: I book guided tours or visit new sites, read about their history and so on. No friend visits me in Cologne without seeing a new interesting spot...
Why Cologne
“Cologne is a village and everyone is a member of the family...”
That’s what people here love to say and they have a big heart and a sense of enjoying life. And I do feel like a part of it...
"KölnTriangle" provides what in my opinion is the best view of Cologne, at least in my opinion. You can see the Dome and so much more!

"Bei Oma Kleinmann" is one of my favourite restaurants in Cologne. I make sure to go there when I am really hungry, because their Schnitzels are just huge.

"Nextbike/KVB-Rad" is a bike sharing system in Cologne that's integrated with KVB, the mass transit system. Just 1€/hour - that's it!

"Bona'me" is a Kurdish restaurant in Cologne that means 'our house', and it does look like that. It has a delicious self-service concept with many dishes!

"Music Store" Cologne: only the biggest one in Europe! They don't only have 3-4 guitars - they even have a bistro, because you'll want to stay long here.

"RheinEnergieStadion" in Cologne is the home stadium for FC Köln - I love going there for games with some friends with a bratwurst and a delicious Kölsch!
By
"Wo ist Tom?" is more than just a great cafe in Cologne. Its food menu is ridiculously extensive, and I love how it also does social work!
