Hotel Matze - 10 Years of Hotel Matze

After a decade, Matze Hielscher looks back on an impressive array of guests—he has already conducted well over 500 conversations spanning journalism, science, politics, philosophy, sports, art, and music.

“Hotel Matze” is a podcast that thrives not only on the people behind the microphones but also on those who listen.

That’s why, this year and next, it’s surprising its listeners with eight events in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to celebrate its tenth anniversary together with them. Of course, which guests the audience can look forward to at the upcoming live shows remains a surprise. But the podcast consistently features a wealth of notable figures, including Nina Chuba, Jürgen Klopp, and Angela Merkel.

The idea is to experience together in one room what usually happens in the studio: conversations that take their time. Encounters that unfold naturally. And a moment when listening becomes a shared experience. In doing so, Matze Hielscher creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone is on equal footing, and the audience experiences it firsthand.
