About the owner - Michael Vogel

As the son of Peter Vogel and Gertraud Jesserer, he grew up in the acting milieu, which is also reflected in his restaurant.
His father Peter Vogel is best remembered by the general public for his starring role as the first Kottan in the series ‘Kottan ermittelt’. However, he also took part in numerous other film and theatre productions – not only as an actor but also as a director in the ‘Theater in der Josefstadt’.

His mother Gertraud Jesserer can look back on a long, successful career as a theatre, cinema and film actress. She has performed at the ‘Deutsches Schauspielhaus’ in Hamburg, the Vienna Burgtheater and the Munich Kammerspiele, among others. Durch ihre überzeugenden Darstellungen wurde sie mit vielen Auszeichnungen geehrt.
Auch der Großvater, Rudolf Vogel, war ein sehr erfolgreicher und bekannter Schauspieler an der Landesbühne München, dem Staatstheater und den Münchner Kammerspielen. Er wirkte auch in zahlreichen Filmproduktionen mit.
Michaels Bruder – Nikolas Vogel – war ebenfalls Schauspieler und Kameramann, der in einigen großen deutschsprachigen Filmproduktionen mitwirkte.
Durch die lange erfolgreiche Schauspielgeschichte der Familie Vogel ist es nicht weiter ungewöhnlich, dass in der Frommen Helene die Schauspieler sich die Türklinke in die Hand geben und sie zu den Stammgästen gezählt werden dürfen.
