Sebastian Bezzel Says Hamburg Life Lets Him Stay Under the Radar

His comments link a search for quiet with a fresh look at Bavarian identity.

Overview

  • The actor, best known for the Eberhoferkrimi films, said he values the peace and relative anonymity he finds in Hamburg.
  • He described simple routines by the Elbe and ferry rides to the theater as part of what makes the city feel calm.
  • The Bavaria native criticized showy regional pride such as “Mia redn boarisch” shirts and costume displays in politics or show business.
  • After the deaths of his parents, he said he has thought about burial and prefers to be remembered with a photo rather than a grave.
  • A new season of his documentary Bezzel & Schwarz – die Grenzgänger is due in early May, featuring trips with Simon Schwarz to notable places in Bavaria.
