In Vienna, Reinhard Gerer was the first to cook four toques. However, he was not given an honorary grave.
Whether Beethoven or Schubert, Falco or Udo Jürgens: Many great personalities are buried in a grave of honor at the Vienna Central Cemetery. The family of the late celebrity chef Reinhard Gerer would have been happy about this belated appreciation, but all that followed was a bizarre argument.
Since the cooking legend “only” received the Golden Medal of Honor of the Republic and not a medal of honor from the city of Vienna, this high award was not possible. The family members of the city of Vienna were informed and referred to the federal government. government.
“Appreciation happens in life”
In response to a request from “Krone”, the responsible office for culture and science confirmed that an honorary grave for Gerer “was not intended”. “Appreciation happens in life,” says Gerer’s student Toni Mörwald, “I don’t think there’s any need to discuss it after death.”
By the way, at 1 pm on Thursday at the Vienna Central Cemetery, Georg Oswald’s Bambis were said goodbye. Unlike Gerer, where the former mayors of Vienna were regular guests for many years, singer Mandy was buried in an honorary grave.
