Anke Engelke is standing in a Munich hotel room, rummaging in her travel cooler bag, clinking glasses and offering homemade lentil and quinoa salad.
She is vegan and environmentally conscious, which is why she likes to travel with her own provisions in washable packaging.
If you then tell in an awkward ice breaker attempt that you have just bought yourself a cooler bag in a similarly handy size, namely from the merchandise range of the currently very popular German rapper Apache 207, she picks up and wants to know whether it is made of plastic.
It looks friendly, but also strict.
One is immediately ashamed of one's own negligence when it comes to environmental protection.
Although Engelke largely keeps her private life under lock and key - she has children, lives in Cologne - she is one of the few celebrities that you not only know, but who look familiar to you personally, even more: who you would like to be liked by yourself at this interview date, which should actually only be about her new role as a tragicomic funeral speaker in a new Netflix series.
