Marek, our eldest, has been working in the family business since 2012.

After "Lampart's Art of Dining" near Basel (CH), the "Cheserey" in Gstaad (CH) and the Söl`ring Hof on Sylt, she completed hotel management school in Heidelberg and now works with her husband Jochen Helfesrieder at the "Storchen" in Schmidhofen near Freiburg.
