Harald Wohlfahrt Turns 70, Embraces Active Life Beyond Michelin Stars

The milestone reflects a shift toward health-focused freedom from the pressures of elite kitchens.

Overview

  • Germany’s best-known haute cuisine figure marks his 70th birthday on Friday, November 7, according to dpa.
  • He says he and his wife train at the gym five times a week and often ride e-bikes, adding that the worst thing is doing nothing.
  • Wohlfahrt led the Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn to three Michelin stars for 25 consecutive years, ending with his 2017 departure.
  • He says he has fully left that chapter behind and does not miss the stars.
  • His current work centers on food projects such as a convenience line for a regional grocer and consulting for venues including a dinner show and a Baden-Baden restaurant.
