Why Tina Turner Likes The Swiss?
The superstar Tina Turner lives since thirteen years in Switzerland. At first on the mountain above Zurich and from 1997 at the gold coast of Zurich. Tina has rented together with her German lifelong companion "Erwin Bach" the first two floors of a three-floor villa located directly at Lake Zurich. The villa owner Kaspar Fleischmann whose family made their fortune with Narok cafe and grain trade lives in the attic.Nevertheless, she lets herself drive in the Mercedes off-road vehicle should she sometimes have desire after her favorite dish - risotto with langoustines from the grill. The fact that she ones robbed the "chef de service" from this 19-point restaurant to employ him as her butler is snow from yesterday. What Tina Turner likes from us Swiss especially is the restraint. Where else for example could she go shopping without having to worry to be bothered? Certainly by "Trudie Götz" the queen of the "Trois Pommes" boutiques who is also one of her closest friends. Thus Trudie's fashion shows are also more or less the only public occasions in which Tina shows up. If it is not for the annual invitation of film producer "Arthur Cohn" for the Open-Air-Gala in Basel. However, last year (2006) the choice native from Zurich even allowed herself to bang the corks. On August 1st, ninety guests were invited to a garden-party in the villa for her twenties anniversary - Tina Turner and Erwin Bach. Included were Raymond Bär, Herbert Grönemeyer and Carl-Eduard von Bismarck and many more of the high society. Her staff served dinner under a balcony of her rented villa, because it rained on that evening. It did not even matter; because Tina even likes the bad weather in Switzerland. I seldom get up before eleven o'clock, she says. Once awake, fitness with her personal coach is on the agenda. Years ago, she had let furnish in the feudal property a wellness area with sauna, whirlpool, massage- and a weight training room. Do not ring before ten o'clock, no deliveries is engraved in large letters on shining-polished brass board attached at the entrance gate. Tina lives obviously still the rhythm of a rock lady. So do not expect her to get up any earlier the day after the garden party... Return from Tina Turner to Celebrities in Switzerland Return from Tina Turner to High End Travel Switzerland Home Page |
