The owner is Michael Holtkamp, and I'm the coe's custodian (Kauenwärter).

Big city whisper Under the roof of Graukaue, there's a microphone for everybody, provided that she has a story to tell. Maybe she doesn't really take herself serious, but she's serious about whatever she does. Maybe she's rhetorically unreliable, but she's open and honest. |
