Some people win the lottery. I won the neighbour lottery. Franz makes the whole street better just by living on it.
Whether he's sharing his latest catch or showing off a perfectly pruned bonsai, Franz brings joy to everyone around him.
By day, Franz works at BeLEARN in Bern — shaping the future of digital education across Switzerland. Big brain energy.
Give Franz a rod and a body of water, and he enters a state of pure zen. Early mornings, patient waits, and the thrill of the catch — fishing isn't just a hobby for Franz, it's a way of life.
Franz's bonsai collection is pure art. Each miniature tree is shaped with years of care and dedication — a zen practice that reflects his deep patience. Walking through his garden is like stepping into a peaceful Japanese forest.
Some neighbours you tolerate. Franz is one you celebrate.
