Overview
- Käfer, in remarks published Tuesday from an Augsburger Allgemeine interview carried by dpa, said Munich has shifted from an arts hub in the 1980s to a moneyed business city.
- He said the city’s flashy image has vanished, even as a nostalgic aura from earlier decades still lingers.
- He named missing local originals such as Rudolph Moshammer, Walter Sedlmayr, Helmut Fischer, and Helmut Dietl, and said he also misses former Bavarian leader Franz Josef Strauß.
- He described a change in celebrity behavior, noting that partygoers once chased next‑day headlines but now seek anonymity in the social‑media age, which his venues try to protect.
- He affirmed he wants to keep living in Munich and called it a wonderful city, speaking as a well‑known restaurateur and Oktoberfest host whose comments were republished by outlets including Die Zeit and Stern.
