The official baker of Bernd is the 31 years old Tommy Krappweis from Munich - writer,
stuntman, actor, host, musician, director and movie fanatic. This multi talented person
used to sit with a friend in an Italian tavern one day when a waiter was serving a plate
of bread. This was the inspiration for Tommy Krappweis to draw a sketch of a round shaped
bread - which was called Bernhard the Bread. This idea made in a tavern later
became the famous tin loaf, Bernhard became Bernd (thats the name of Tommy
Krappweis dog) - and Bernd the Bread became a minor part in the Chili show. Soon
this minor part changed to a major part and Bernd the Bread became a legendary character.
Correction: Unfortunately we made some
mistakes in the upper text as Tommy Krappweis told me. Lets get himself a chance to
speak:
It isnt quite correct that way. My dog isnt called this. I dont
even own a dog. My uncles name is Bernd Krappweis. And its true that the first
bread drawn on the napkin was round shaped - but the second one was edgy and already
looked like Bernd or rather like his real role model Norman Cöster who was sitting in
front of me. Just with shorter arms. I apologize for this wrong statements...
