Kettner's Kamota in Essen Werden,
1 Michelin star

The Styrian-born top chef previously cooked with Robin Pietsch and in 2020 opened the restaurant Pietsch by Kettner in Wernigerode, which cooked a Michelin star after 6 months. Gault Millau named Jürgen Kettner one of the young talents in all of Germany.

He completed his training in Essen's 2 ** star restaurant Residence, under the guidance of his current friend and mentor Berthold Bühler. The later stages of his career were Stefan Hermann's Bean&Beluga in Dresden, Victor's Fine Dining by Christian Bau & the Restaurant Schongrün in Bern. At the Esplanade in Saarbrücken, he worked alongside Silio del Fabro as Sous Chef.

After his success in Wernigerode, he was drawn back to Essen in the Ruhr region, where he met Wiebke Meier. Together with her, he is now realizing his dream of owning his own restaurant with Kamota. Wiebke Meier has many years of experience in the management and organization of various restaurant concepts.
