In late summer, reported at the time The New Meadow Messenger in his “News for Upper Franconia & Surroundings”, Frank Heppner cooked for the participants of the 3rd Bayreuth Classic Grand Prix, a vintage car rally from Bayreuth to Nuremberg. The “Munich star chef,” it said, was a specialist in light Asian fare. In fact, he used to prepare exactly that in the Kitzbühel restaurant Sra Bua: Euro-Asian dishes. “Exciting”, judged the gastro criticism in Austria. However, the Hotel Kempinski, to which the restaurant belongs, announced that they separated in 2019. Unfortunately, we haven’t been in contact since then.
Heppner, 62, has gotten around a lot: he learned in Hong Kong, South Korea and the Philippines, according to his own information, he completed an apprenticeship with the recently deceased star chef Eckart Witzigmann, worked in Geneva and Amsterdam, in France at Lake Tegernsee and again and again in Munich , for example in the Hotel Rafael and in the Lenbach. He wrote cookbooks and appeared on television.
Now, however, Heppner will probably have to plan an unscheduled stop in Karlsruhe – and the catering there should meet his requirements (“What should definitely not be missing is champagne,” he once revealed to the platform The cooking recipe) hardly suffice. The federal prosecutor’s office had the cook arrested on Wednesday on the basis of an arrest warrant in Austria, and proceedings for extradition to Germany are ongoing. It is the presumption of innocence.
What the Attorney General Peter Frank accuses the boiling cosmopolitan of weighs heavily: Heppner is said to be a member of the suspected terrorist organization to which one of the largest searches in Germany was dedicated on Wednesday. Around 3,000 officers combed through more than 130 objects nationwide, arrested 23 people in Germany, a man in Italy – and also Frank Heppner in Austria. According to the statement, he is suspected of belonging to an eight-strong command staff of the military wing of a group that is said to have planned the violent storming of the Reichstag and the installation of a new government. All of this is based, among other things, on the ideology of the Reich citizens.
Investigators assume that this military arm was involved with recruiting new members and procuring weapons. The staff should therefore also take care of the accommodation and food for the “home security companies”. So should the chef from Munich, whose favorite dish is Wiener Schnitzel with lobster, really take care of the troops? According to the Wiener Zeitung The press He is accused of having used his credit card to buy a mobile home for the putschists. He is also said to have procured “food, kitchen utensils and an emergency generator”. He could not be reached for a comment.
