With “Bauer sucht Frau” farmers hope to find true love. And some have succeeded.
In the current season, farmer Konny (61) is also trying his luck. On his farm, where he still lives alone, he looks after around 135 animals and cultivates three hectares of land. But that wasn’t always his everyday life.
Konny says that he once lived on the farm with his wife. She supported him in his dream of owning his own farm: “I wanted to build a new one, but that wasn’t approved in our settlement. Then I thought to myself: Then I’ll just buy a rest farm. That’s what we did,” the 61-year-old remembers today.
Konny’s first wife died of cancer
Konny suffered a stroke of fate, as he explains in the dome show.
In a conversation with farmer reporter Ralf Herrmann, he revealed that his private happiness with his first wife ended tragically. Shortly after purchasing the farm the couple had built together, his wife received the devastating diagnosis of cancer.
Konny remembers this difficult time with emotional words: “My first wife died. She had cancer.” 14 years after her death, the farmer’s grief is still palpable.
The loss of his wife has a deep impact on farmer Konny’s life to this day. Farmer Konny still remembers the last evening he spent with her in the hospital. “She was in the hospital for a day. I was supposed to spend the night there too… and she died that same night,” he reports emotionally. Particularly moving: “She practically died in my arms.”
This painful experience left Konny with a severe scar. As a bricklayer and farmer, he and his wife had fulfilled their dream of owning their own farm, but the early death of his partner left him alone. Today he lives on three hectares of land with his peacocks, horses and other animals and hopes to find new love on “Bauer sucht Frau”. He wants the woman at his side to be able to take not only him into her heart, but also his animal family member.
