You´ve been working in Pilsen for seven years. Could you say you already know it?
I would say so in the meantime. When I arrived, it was quite a new city for me. Now, some colleagues say to me: “You know more about Pilsen than me”.
What places in Pilsen do you love?
A lot of places! Definitely, I love the area where I live, between Velké divadlo and Techmania. I like opera, so I frequently go to Velké divadlo. And also I like the New Theatre. It´s a very modern building from 2014. It´s great equipment here, stage technologies and others. And I love the nature around Pilsen too. Pilsen is a relatively compact city: if you sit on the bike for a few minutes you are in the green. There is one place I definitely normally try to go when friends or family visit me: Radyně. That´s a nice walk from Černice up to the ruin. And when you walk back you have to have a nice dinner in Purkmistr restaurant.
Why did you decide to leave Germany just for Pilsen?
Due to the job offer, I got from ZF, the company I work for now for more than 25 years.I became the Managing director of the Plzen Tech center and was given the opportunity to develop a research and development facility, which was a very attractive challenge for me.
