Germany's Most Popular TV Host Buys Villa from Germany's Most Popular Humorist
Günther Jauch has purchased Loriot's (Vicco von Bülow's) estate on Lake Starnberg
In Ammerland on Lake Starnberg, residents are looking forward to their new neighbor – "sit down here, then we'll be more*", they'll say to Günther Jauch in their Bavarian dialect (DEUTSCH)
Bavaria - Münsing and Ammerland - Starnberger See. Günther Jauch and Loriot held each other in high esteem, which is why the lakeside house is passing directly from the von Bülow family into worthy new hands and will continue to be cherished. The people of Ammerland are already looking forward to their new neighbor, who will breathe new life into the existing community without bringing about major changes. Here, you're at home, welcomed, and left undisturbed! That's the way it should be! True to the motto: Live and let live! *"hock di hera samma mehra", is how new residents are greeted in Bavarian...

Loriot was an honorary citizen of Münsing, and Ammerland was his retreat.
The small village of Ammerland on the shores of Lake Starnberg belongs to the idyllic municipality of Münsing. It's a wonderful place to relax in both winter and summer. In the mornings, you can pick up bread rolls from Graf's bakery, and at lunchtime, fresh whitefish from Seebald's fisherman—where you can also sit in the garden and enjoy freshly smoked fish. Loriot appreciated this! Vicco von Bülow, who captured his brilliant humor here—in a small studio next to his house—lived for a good 48 years in a beautiful villa overlooking the lake.
