Life and career.
Lichter was born on 15 January 1962 in Nettersheim, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
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 made bodybuilding as a teenager. 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. He chose the profession of cook because he had very positive associations with eating together at the table. He is well known from the German talk and cook show "Lafer! Lichter! Lecker!" which he moderated together with Johann Lafer and "Bares für Rares".
Personal life.
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.
Lichter is very interested in motorcycles and cars, especially antique cars and modern classic cars.
