Wilhelm Horst Lichter (born 15 January 1962) is a German cook, television cook, cookbook author, and television presenter. He also occasionally appears on stage as an entertainer.
Lichter was born on 15 January 1962 in Rommerskirchen-Nettesheim, North Rhine-Westphalia.
He grew up as the eldest son of the miner Anton Lichter and his wife Margret Lichter, nee Heikamp, in the Rhenish lignite district in Gill, a district of Rommerskirchen. He attended a Hauptschule and did bodybuilding as a teenager.[1] At the age of fourteen he began a three-year apprenticeship as a chef with Lutz Winter in the "Alte Post" hotel and restaurant in Bergheim.[2] He chose the profession of cook because he had very positive associations with eating together at the table.[3] He is well known from the German talk and cook show Lafer! Lichter! Lecker! which he moderated together with Johann Lafer[4] and Bares für Rares.[5]
Lichter has three children from his first marriage; one of them died as an infant. Another relationship resulted in a daughter. He is married for the third time with Nada Lichter and lived in Badenweiler for eight years, and moved to Cologne in 2020.[6]
Lichter is very interested in motorcycles and cars, especially antique cars and modern classic cars.[7][8]
