Wolfgang Grupp. Everyone knows him, or thinks they do: he’s the impeccably dressed man whose company, Trigema, manufactures exclusively in Germany. The man with the monkey, from the advert before the Tagesschau. The man who, on talk shows, accuses others of acting irresponsibly and lacking decency.
But who is this man really?
For a year, bestselling author Volker ter Haseborg accompanied the entrepreneur for this biography. And got to know a Wolfgang Grupp who, after handing over the company, is struggling with his life. Who feels he is no longer needed.
His suicide attempt moved many people. Grupp speaks about his fears and depression, about death and the will to live. And he grants an insight into his diary.
Alongside Grupp himself, his wife Elisabeth, his children Bonita and Wolfgang, and many companions recount his life story. The result is a portrait of an entrepreneur – and a human being – who takes a ruthless stock of his life.
