TV legend Thomas Gottschalk is moving to the gates of Munich. What could appeal to the presenter about his new home?
Thomas Gottschalk is moving his life to Bavaria – more precisely, to the tranquil suburb of Gräfelfing. But what attracts the former “Wetten, dass..?” presenter and his fiancée Karina Mroß to this exclusive residential area, far away from Baden-Baden?
The answer lies in the combination of idyllic location, historical charm and a touch of Bavarian luxury.
Gräfelfing, the so-called “Garden City”, is a place with history and style. Originally a Bavarian settlement, Gräfelfing has developed over the centuries into a retreat for wealthy Munich residents: spacious villas and lush gardens characterize the image.
The conservative side of Gräfelfing may also have played a role in Gottschalk’s decision for the new residence: the community consciously decided against rapid densification and tried to preserve its exclusive residential location. In other words, it could be a long-term home that is both historically grown and modern and luxurious.
Gräfelfing is also known for its high real estate prices: a single-family home with excellent living value can easily cost between 1.2 and 1.5 million euros, reports the business magazine “Capital”.
Luxury villas can be even more expensive: A recent report by the real estate company Fischer Immobilien states that the price for a single-family home with excellent living value and 200 square meters of living space is around 2.77 million euros.
Gottschalk and Mroß have already become familiar with the neighborhood: During a visit to the Sickinger bakery, a well-known address in Gräfelfing, the couple are said to have been friendly and down-to-earth, the “Merkur” reports.
