Life and career

Lichter was born on 15 January 1962 in Rommerskirchen-Nettesheim, North Rhine-Westphalia.

He grew up as the eldest son of the miner Anton Lichter and his wife Margret Lichter, nee Heikamp, in the Rhenish lignite district in Gill, a district of Rommerskirchen. He attended a Hauptschule and did bodybuilding as a teenager. [1] At the age of fourteen he began a three-year apprenticeship as a chef with Lutz Winter in the "Alte Post" hotel and restaurant in Bergheim. [2] He chose the profession of cook because he had very positive associations with eating together at the table. [3] He is well known from the German talk and cook show Lafer! Lichter! Lecker! which he moderated together with Johann Lafer [4] and Bares für Rares . [5]
