65 Years of the best view! I grew up in the Waldhotel Unspunnen and therefore the the Rugenbräu is my first neighbor and many childhood memories are associated with it. childhood memories: For example, my brother and I would sometimes sneak away and instead of mopping up in front of the hotel, we used the Rugenbräu chauffeurs on their deliveries - as far away as Le Landeron. That's how we got to know Switzerland.
Many!
A funny memory I have around the ice cream bar production of the
Rugenbräu. Back then, the ice blocks were delivered to the hotels and restaurants,
to cool the drinks. But my grandmother in the hotel sometimes forgot,
forgot to drain the ice water and there were always small floods.
floods.
My
voice! And my head - so that I can tell a lot of exciting content and anecdotes during
and anecdotes during the guided tours.
During my administrative apprenticeship in the notary's office, I learned what exactly work means. I was also influenced by growing up in a hotel business. And And of course my Tell acting career is a part of me: from the fisherman's boy to the William Tell and finally also as Baron von Attinghausen, I have played many roles. roles.
At
Rugenbräu, I take visitors on a tour of the brewery and explain the history of the
the history of the traditional brewery, but also how beer is produced and
is produced, as well as how the distillates are made. I appreciate the
contact with the many people: private individuals, groups, clubs, etc. The people are
so different and every tour is varied, sometimes in English, sometimes in German, sometimes in French.
German or in French: it never gets boring.
At the At the moment I support my son in the bookkeeping at the Waldhotel. The season at the hotel is intense and the accounting department has to meet new requirements again and again new demands: That also keeps you mentally fit!
As a
Having a structured daily routine is important to me as a retiree. I
like it when things are busy and something is going on. I like to be at work at the Rugenbräu
but also with my son at the Waldhotel Unspunnen and, finally, as a grandfather
with the care as a grandfather of 2 ½-year-old twins.
When
You don't live the day consciously and people whining about old age.
My
wife, my family, my friends, my network of relationships, and the area where I
live.
A
cold, non-alcoholic drink and very important: glacé sticks - with almonds.
Help
I like to help in the hotel with my son. Then mountain biking and
swimming, in summer in Lake Thun, are also on the program.
Very understandable (!) - funny - full of life.
Mostly
I make people laugh. I like good jokes. Laughter is contagious!
Until
I was about 20 years old, my teacher, Dr. Walter Bettler, was a great role model.
His creativity and discipline impressed me. My
school commander in the military, Colonel Olivier Pittet, who later became corps commander, also
also a role model.
From
from folk to classical music. Classical music inspires me; I sing
I also sing solo sometimes. The new music, that is, what's going on now, I like less.
