Do not be afraid of big animals: Claudia Püschel-Knies with Bullmastiff bitch Coco and German Shepherd Quando
Claudia Püschel-Knies: What about a glass of champagne?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: No, I'm on duty.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Well, then let's start. What do you want to know?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: But in your case! Is not that bad self-promotion, just when you are. , ,
Claudia Püschel-Knies:. , , not at all. Just because I practice dating service with the highest level of professionalism, but I may eventually meet the luck as any other person. Incidentally, I made sure that my ex-husband has found a new partner and is happy again - even very happy - married.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: In other words, he has harmed you?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No, not that, but he is an attractive man, I know him well and have the opportunity to find an adequate partner for him. Why should not I do that then? Besides, my job is still my passion after such a long time.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: For example, is it true that Ms. Püschel-Knies, of all people, met her current partner while walking?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Well, I wanted to complete my training with my dog, and so I met him. You can write like that. But then please also - so I'm not considered careless here - that I was happily married for 22 years. "Forever," I thought, because I thought I had found love with my husband. I never thought that I could leave him. But you know that life is often different and one suddenly realizes that one has lived apart.

ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Funny, considering that you originally studied mechanical engineering. Can you say that instead you have become such a kind of love engineer?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes, you can already, why not? That sounds pretty. Almost like a compliment.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: And that today you tend to mess around with exclusive destinies?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I like the "Engineer of Love" better!
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: But "exclusive" is right, right? They have been mediating the elite of all singles for 34 years. And that from 12 000 euros upwards.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Absolutely correct.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: So class instead of mass?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: You have formulated this well.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: All the way to Nobel laureates, Olympic champions and presidential sons?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes, such people have already been in my file.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: But the president's son's name was not George Bush?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: (laughs) No, that's not right now, but everything else is right.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: You guessed my next question? One, two names as evidence would be pretty nice at this point.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Forget it. My clients can feel as safe with me as with their doctors and lawyers. I never name names. That's what Thomas Gottschalk tried to do back then, when he still hosted the "Late Night Show". He wanted to invite me, but only on the condition that I at least let something resonate. But I do not do that. Absolute discretion is a hundred percent honorary thing for me.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: But honestly. All the generous head physicians and vice-managers in your ads, the "sure-footed" young women from the best of homes, with a beaming smile that just can not find on Harvard or Eton - that sound to me not for singles, but for chimeras. After fiction.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Do you think so?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: I think. But hello!
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Of course I formulate in appealing form, but with absolutely true content. When I say, "Yacht owner, graduated from Harvard," or "comes from a well-known family of entrepreneurs," or "has built a market-leading company," then that's true. As well as the height, the hair color and so on. Why do people always think it is fabulous when someone has money or a flat in Kitzbühel or when someone lives on the Côte d'Azur or has a second home in the US? Does that sound too great to be true? Do you know how many people have it all?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: No. I rather know all the others.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: But there are so many, and they are just my audience.I also have these young descendants from good families. Of course, they grew up with everything you can imagine. Of course, they speak several languages. And of course these people are also musically gifted. And that's why I write that too.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: So beautiful, rich and lonely. And if they are not dead . , ,
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Well, if you could go through my file, which I unfortunately can not provide you with - after all, there are a few thousand pictures - then you could see that on average, they are very attractive people.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: In short, you never make frogs princes and from crested heroines?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Let me put it this way: If something is not in the ads, then it does not exist either. However, most people do not read the lyrics correctly - they interpret a lot into what is not there. Let's be clear: If the ad does not say that he or she is very attractive, then they will not be, despite all the great attributes such as tall or blonde or slim.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Let's return to the poetic quality of your ads. Which are you especially proud of?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I once ran a very successful ad for a man with the statement. "There's another place left!"
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Ah, an Arab?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No, how did you come to this?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: That sounds like harem. , ,
Claudia Püschel-Knies: It was a landowner with a castle where you could lie in the park and dream. I immediately married this man.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Congratulations. And what ads have brought you the most letters?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: The simplest. Because everyone feels addressed. And that's why I do not do that anymore today. You said earlier that the ads sound like something out of the fairy tale. That is also so intentional because it should deter certain people. For example, if I write, "Senior Physician is looking for a woman to make him happy," then the phone will not stand still the next day. Because loud call women that the man certainly not looking for. But I write: "head doctor, doctorate here and there, chair here and there, speaks five languages, hobby: travel to South Africa", then there are only a few callers, but they are potential partners for my client.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Do you also have hardship cases? Or a storekeeper? You once said that a woman with a dress size of 42 is practically not transferable.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Watch out! 46! I said 46.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Sorry, my mistake. 46.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Look, it's essentially not about whether slim, thin or top figure. It's about the personal charisma. There are voluptuous women and strong men who like to eat well. But that has nothing to do with lack of discipline. People who are not in control, for example chain smoker or alcoholic, are not transferable. A relationship does not just mean that I can live or let myself down. In a relationship, I adjust myself to someone, take care or put me through times. And in any case this includes discipline! If I am unable to discipline myself as long as I am alone, how should I relate to it in a relationship?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Maybe you should not overdo it. Finally, you claim that over-styled and styled women are no longer in demand.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: They have never been! I had top models as clients and still have them today, including true celebrities, and I was able to marry many of them. But I have never worked with their official photos, but only with their natural photos. What man wants a woman who needs three hours for her make-up before she leaves home?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Oh, is not that standard?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No, that is above all a question of the intellect. An intelligent woman with many interests who may be jogging at the start of her active day will not be dealing exclusively with herself in front of the mirror and wondering if the eyeshadow needs to be sky blue or dark gray.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Keyword jogging: Is it true that all your customers always demand sports partners?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes, that's right. Since I started 34 years ago, there has been a change in society. I used to have an extensive well-stocked bar, and often bankbearers with cigar sat on the couch. It's over. The society has changed colossal. By the way, in their claim to relationships.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: In what way?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: For example, there is more talk today about sexuality. And with the women.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Oh, I'm all ears!
Claudia Püschel-Knies: The women are increasingly talking about their sensuality and passion, and they want a man with whom they can live this. That was not an issue in the past. Today, the women are looking for a man who addresses them sexually from the outset. And that is new! This is so new that even smart women say to me that they do not want to try it otherwise.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: I suppose that does not necessarily make your job easier. How do you know how to please, as which Lord - or because of me, which castle owner - is in bed?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I can not know that. But I mean to have a feel for it.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: And what do you tell the man before such a job interview?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I tell him, "You must know that you are meeting a woman who is very important to sexuality."
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: And then? Are nine of ten men screaming hurray?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No, that's just not right. That is only one facet of all other claims.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: This reminds a bit of Darwin's natural selection. But while we're at it, what's the biggest competitive advantage for men? Money, humor or butt?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Humor! Because the most important requirement for this is the intellect. Otherwise it just becomes vulgar - did not you know that?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Do you also give concrete assistance, so tutoring on flirting?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes, certainly. For example, if a man is too rash, then I feel like giving him some time. And that's not always easy for men who are used to making quick decisions. I advise women to be quiet sometimes.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Understand. And football and fishing should not be better than hobbies. , ,
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No, sailing and tennis are certainly better. This happens more often with my customers.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Oh, I can do both. However, I play table tennis. Would I still be available?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: It should be tennis already.
WOMAN: Well, suppose I come to you and pay 12,000 euros for the standard treatment - would I get from you, say rich, widowed yacht?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: No. I would not do that. At least not if the emphasis is on "rich" and "yacht". Besides, after such a statement, I would feel very much at your fingertips.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Alright. I just wanted to play Stiftung Warentest and check if there are stooges and marriage swindlers in your file.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I swear, I've never had one. Do you really think I would not notice that? But I certainly already had people who were in a financially precarious situation and whom I could help through my mediation. There was an insolvent cannery who had problems with Aldi and whom I had brought together with the heiress of a metal refining company.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Oh what. That sounds very much like pot and lid.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Today the man leads the company. That's okay, where is the problem?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: No problem. It just sounds too good to be true.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: You can believe me. I have been doing this for 34 years now, and I have a very good sense of who suits whom.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: You could also say you're playing Miss Fatima, say Fate. And that's what midwives are, too.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: I would rather call my work a personal matter of the heart and compare it to that of a diplomat. In former times, the ambassador of a country was responsible not only for the good relations between two countries, but also for the heart happiness of the sovereign and his family.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: And your recipe for success? Do you tend to share commonalities with potential partners and keep the fascination of opposites for a fairy tale?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Anyway. One may find contrasts fascinating for a while. Sooner or later, they always repel each other. Cinderella and Prince are only in fairy tales. Or as a very rare exception, fairy tales sometimes come true.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Through you and your file box, I suppose. , ,
Claudia Püschel-Knies: For example.
Prösterchen! On the red sofa, we go to the preserves: Calaudia Püschel-Knee and ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN employee Jan Jepsen
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: What connects more: same origin or same salary class?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: A mixture of both. You should be complementary in every way and not just beneficiaries of the partner. If a woman comes from the East and wants to marry a rich man from the West, it will not work in the long term.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: What, the wall in the head, heart and wallet?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Let's put it this way: people with an Eastern and Western character do not fit together very well. In my experience anyway.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: So you know that Maybrit Illner could not have been with you.
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Well, she did it. And both are an absolutely equal couple. Incidentally, you only get what you represent and offer yourself.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: With you?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes, certainly with me too. But that applies to life in general.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: And what about the internet?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: What should be with it?
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Is the classic dating service not an obsolete model in all single, dating and other Internet portals? And if today even the adult education centers offer contact training?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: That's good and nice if you are looking for someone for a while. Maybe then. But what do you mean, what's being lied to. With me you can rely on my knowledge of human nature and experience and on getting to know someone who is also intact. You do not have this security in the network.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: Then you just make it public, like on TV. What about "The Bachelor" or "Farmer Seeks Wife". Do you watch something like that?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: That's it. It is very entertaining. Sometimes even very sweet. Although I have to tell you that I made one of the first programs of this kind when I was 40, it was called "heart is trumps".
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: No!
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Yes. Six broadcasts. For a regional Munich station.
ChroniquesDuVasteMonde WOMAN: One last question: Is love actually for sale, and would not that be a good advertising slogan for you?
Claudia Püschel-Knies: Love in itself is never available, only the way to find it, that's it sometimes.
