Munich (dpa / lby) - The restaurateur and Oktoberfest host Michael Käfer (64) would like to have more initiative in times of crisis. "We have to get back to our old values: diligence and inventiveness. Society has to be jolted again, the state doesn't always have to help, we also have to help ourselves," he told the Munich daily "tz". from Monday. "We will have energy problems, many things will become more expensive, it will become more difficult, but by no means bad. We are still living in good times."
The delicatessen entrepreneur and celebrity host gives private and professional insights in the autobiography "The Borrowed Friend: My Life as a Host". "My inner peace comes when the people around me are satisfied and happy. Of course - that tears you up sometimes when you want too much," he confided to "tz".
Secrecy is the top priority, as he entertains many celebrities. "Particularly at private events, our customers allow us to get very close to them. We experience a lot of personal things, including animosity in the family when it comes to seating arrangements."
Käfer made a similar statement in the "Abendzeitung": "For example, if we get to know the people at a wedding, the bride, the groom, the parents, we become a family member for a short time, a good friend. When the event is over, It must be clear that this relationship is then over again."
