From her desk she can see the Wallberg. The local mountain of the Tegernsee valley. Miriam Mayer grew up in Rottach-Egern. You can’t hear it from her. Not even a hint of Bavarian comes from her lips when she speaks to strangers. She loves this little piece of Upper Bavaria, which attracts the rich with its beauty like light attracts moths. Miriam Mayer is 26 years old and apologizes that she likes to live where she knows every house and every bush. Despite the luxury properties that have sprung up around the lake. Miriam Mayer is one of the locals. She still lives with her family. “We’re a good team, we get along,” she says. “Then why should you go?” She asks back. She love the mountains and nature so much. Live in the city? She thought that was absurd even during her photo design studies at Munich University of Applied Sciences. “Because too loud and too crowded.” She prefers to go her daily routes with her two dogs across meadows and fields, with a thick hat over her long, blond hair, in functional clothing that protects against moisture and cold.
