Horst Lichter is thrilled when he visits Bamberg's Schlenkerla brewery!

A prominent visit recently caused a stir in Bamberg: On June 5, 2025, the popular television chef and presenter Horst Lichter stopped off at the traditional Schlenkerla brewery. The brewery celebrated the special occasion on social media and shared enthusiastic reports about the gathering. Lichter, known from the ZDF junk show Bares für Rares, not only enjoyed the typical Bamberger Schäuferla, but also enjoyed a fresh salad with chicken.

The brewery's operators expressed their pride in the 63-year-old's visit and emphasized how honored they were to welcome such a respected chef. A colleague from the brewery took the opportunity to take a photo with the television star. It was rumored that Lichter might have treated himself to an Aecht Schlenkerla smoked beer, a treat that is very popular with the region's lovers.

A visit with good taste

The brewery recently landed in the top 10 most popular breweries of 2025, making it a real attraction in the region. The food that Lichter and his entourage were served was consistently described as excellent. No wonder the brewery is pleased with the positive response and interest in its tradition.

Horst Lichter, who was born on January 15, 1962 in Nettesheim, has established himself as an integral part of the German television landscape over the years. Since 2013 he has moderated Bares für Rares, where he delights audiences with charm and wit in over 2000 episodes. This show is not just a job for him, but also a platform to live out his passion for antiques and their stories.

A versatile presenter with heart

Aside from dawdling, Lichter has also launched many culinary projects. He has published several cookbooks and talks about his eventful life in his biography “No Time for Assholes”. Privately, he is married to Nada Lichter and has three children, including a deceased daughter, which makes him even more relatable as a person.

With his charisma and his ability to captivate viewers, he has now been honored with many awards, including the Golden Camera and a Romy. Furthermore, his life story, which was even made into a film, is proof of his appeal and the impression he leaves.

It remains to be seen when Horst Lichter will stop by the Schlenkerla brewery again or perhaps even enjoy a delicious Schäuferla again. Until then, he will remain a sought-after man who impresses with his good knack for taste both in the restaurant industry and on television.
