Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 2nd and final act of the exclusive interview with the owners of Mein Haus am See – Stephan and Claudia. I am pleased to see you all again!
After introducing the idea that is behind the concept of Mein Haus am See, I now want to give you some insight into the business in practice.

Would you say that your business attracts a specific group of customers? If so, how would you describe them?

Claudia: I do have to say that Stefan has excellent taste when it comes to interior design. He just follows his instincts for what he thought looks best – he/we did not try to be super stylish or follow mainstream design. So, we had no particular group of customers in mind when we opened Mein Haus am See.

Carnival of Cultures -time to be innovative!

Winter in Berlin is grey, cold and gloomy. Reasons enough to celebrate the beginning of summer!
Since 1996 every year at Whitsun Berlin shows its cultural diversity. During the parade and the street festival, which lasts several days, you can experience the cultural fortune of the city.
Music, handcrafts and delicacies from all over the world are to discover!
-But why only enjoying other people’s talents? Why not contributing with your own knack?

There are more than 300 bars and restaurants in Berlin-Mitte. How could one ever begin finding the right spot? I will try to make your bar-life a bit easier by introducing you to my favorite place in Berlin. Mein Haus am See is such a well-established café and bar at Rosenthaler Platz that it is difficult to believe it only opened in 2009! Mein Haus am See has successfully captured Berlin’s atmosphere and –in my eyes – represents this very unique city very well.

I was very lucky to be able to arrange an interview with the owners of the bar: Stephan and Claudia. Neither of them has ever studied business. Stephan studied politics and later discovered his passion for literature, after which he worked as a publisher. Opening a bar was Claudia’s idea. During our two hour talk they explained their business idea and revealed their recipe to success.

Being a photographer in Berlin means facing a LOT of competition. There are more photographers than assignments especially if your professional focus is on documentary and event photography. So how do you stand out of this big flashing crowd? You have to be creative. Doesn’t that seem obvious? It sure is, but the photographer’s creativity must go beyond his perspective through his camera – he must be innovative when it comes to business.

The internet helps us to connect with people, stay in touch with friends from all over the world. At the same time though, life becomes more anonymously. What happened to old fashioned invitation cards, letters and meeting a friend for a cup of coffee? In the modern world, sometimes you go looking for intimacy.
