Reiner Calmund revels in a gathering with distinguished celebrities
Grill with Henssler Bids Farewell to Reiner Calmund
On September 14, the popular cooking show "Grill with Henssler" will dedicate an episode to say goodbye to long-time jury member Reiner Calmund. This farewell episode will be recorded at the Seebühne at the Elbauenpark in Magdeburg.
Calmund, who has been a part of the show since its inception in 2013, has decided to step down after 18 years. His departure was announced in March, and his last appearance on the show was marked by a nervous breakdown, which led to his health issues and eventual departure.
Despite his absence towards the end of the previous season, Calmund will be joined by a selection of special guests for his final appearance. These include comedian Matze Knop, Vox veteran Detlef Steves, Mirja Boes, who was previously a member of the "Grill with Henssler" jury, and star chef Johann Lafer. However, Bruce Darnell and Ali Güngörmüş will not be present for Calmund's farewell episode.
Laura Wontorra will host the farewell episode, as usual, alongside rotating guest jurors such as Bruce Darnell, Joachim Llambi, Guido Maria Kretschmer, Jana Ina Zarrella, and Christian Rach.
Calmund's collapse during filming in December 2024 was due to dizziness, and his cause was later diagnosed as atrial fibrillation. His health issues have been a significant factor in his decision to leave the show.
The new season of "Grill with Henssler" will have six episodes, and the new summer season is set to begin shortly after Calmund's farewell episode. Fans of the show can look forward to an exciting new lineup of celebrities and chefs competing against each other to create delicious dishes.
Calmund's departure from the jury of "Grill with Henssler" marks the end of an era for the show, but his influence and legacy will continue to be felt. Fans can tune in on September 14 to bid farewell to one of the show's most beloved personalities.
