My Rugenbräu

The Rugenbräu is for me ...

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.

My most beautiful moment ...

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 working tool ...

My voice! And my head - so that I can tell a lot of exciting content and anecdotes during and anecdotes during the guided tours.

My career

My milestones ...

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.

My work ...

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.

My current project ...

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!

My opinion

I appreciate that ...

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.

This does not have to be ...

When You don't live the day consciously and people whining about old age.

Home for me is ...

My wife, my family, my friends, my network of relationships, and the area where I live.

My life

Always in the refrigerator ...

A cold, non-alcoholic drink and very important: glacé sticks - with almonds.

In the free time ...

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.

Me in three words ...

Very understandable (!) - funny - full of life.

My inspiration

Makes me laugh ...

Mostly I make people laugh. I like good jokes. Laughter is contagious!

Is my role model ...

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.

My music ...

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.
