Munich – Celebrity chef Alfons Schuhbeck (72) receives support from prominent friends and guests after the announcement of his bankruptcy.
“I am very depressed that Alfons is now in this difficult situation,” said the actor Elmar Wepper of the “Bild” newspaper, who praised Schuhbeck as a reliable friend, even in times of need. “I’m loyal to him,” said Wepper. Moderator Verena Kerth was confident: “Alfons is a fighter. I know he has the strength to continue his life’s work. “
Schuhbeck announced at the weekend that he had filed for bankruptcy at the Munich District Court. He justified this with a lack of government aid, which he urgently needed because of the loss of income in the wake of the corona pandemic.

He wants to save his spice trade and his consulting business.
