Der Krösus von Luzern

In the sixties, the eccentric and life-loving banker Ernst Brunner fascinated the bourgeois citizens of Lucerne as well as artists and half-world figures. His generosity was legendary, his zeal as controversial as admired, and his fox hunting used to be an annual event for Central Switzerland. There are still wild anecdotes and contradictory memories growing around this tireless entrepreneur, family father, champagne importer, art collector, horse lover, gourmet, and occasional composer. His departure was spectacular and shocking at the same time: in the midst of a rushing party in his villa, he ended his life with a cyanide capsule.
