Where are You from?
Born in Cologne. Raised in Cologne. Happy in Cologne.
How Did You get into Doing Beer House Tours in Cologne?
I love my Cologne and its culture. And it upsets me when it’s badmouthed. So, I want to authentically show my Cologne to tourists, residents, and interested people, and enjoy delicious Kölsch with them. This works perfectly on beer house tours.
Why Do You Enjoy Guiding People through Cologne’s Beer Houses so much?
The tours are more than just Kölsch and the wonderful beer houses. They are the historical paths between the portals, the encounters and stories all around and within. The scent of warm food and freshly tapped Kölsch. Each tour becomes its own story through the reactions of the participants. And precisely this feedback is so special. A unique piece of Cologne, if you will.
Which Anecdote or Story Do You Particularly like to Tell?
The story of St. Ursula, or as I like to call her: Et Uschi. 11,000 virgins fleeing from the Huns. What a crime story to tell over a good Kölsch.
What Makes Cologne Special for You?
It’s the people, the authenticity, and the short distances between kiosks and beer houses. 🎉
What Absolutely Must You See in Cologne (besides the Cathedral)?
Gereon’s Head, the Belgian Quarter, and the love locks.
