Overview

  • Sphere Tim Raue occupies the rotating restaurant space in Berlin’s TV Tower and features reinterpretations of Berlin and Brandenburg culinary classics.
  • After a minor technical glitch on opening night on June 3, the restaurant issued refunds and vouchers and has been operating smoothly since June 9.
  • Raue insists that cooking is his profession and abstains from preparing meals at home for “no amount of money.”
  • Outside work he frequently dines out or orders local street-food equivalents rather than cooking, keeping his fridge at home mostly empty of food.
  • While he generally remains accessible for professional matters, Raue reserves Sundays as a rest day and seldom leaves his phone out except on rare personal occasions.
