Kathrin Rüegg (real name Doris Schmid ; born March 7, 1930 in Arosa , Canton of Graubünden , Switzerland ; † June 12, 2011 in Gordola , Canton of Ticino ) was a Swiss author and TV presenter on German SWR television .
Life
Kathrin Rüegg was born in Arosa in 1930 as the daughter of a mountain farmer and hotelier. After her parents divorced in 1941, she moved to Basel with her mother and brother.
She completed an apprenticeship as an office specialist and then worked in the chemical industry, where she worked her way up to become a foreign language correspondent and management secretary. In 1960 she opened the Bottewage furniture store in Basel , which she ran successfully until 1971. Then she moved to Ticino to set up a farm with small animals in the Verzasca Valley and to devote herself to writing. In addition, she ran the small boutique “El Boteghin” for Ticino specialties and offered many practical courses.
She was a co-founder of the cooking show What The Grandmother Knew , which was broadcast in over 350 episodes from 1982 to 2006. After the death of co-presenter Werner O. Feißt in April 2006, the program was no longer continued.
Kathrin Rüegg lived in Gerra in the Verzasca Valley until she had a serious fall, the health consequences of which forced her to move . After that she lived in a retirement home and nursing home in Gordola on Lake Maggiore .
