Bernhard Hoëcker

Bernhard Hoëcker (born Bernhard Hoecker-von Mühlenfels; 20 March 1970) is a German comedian, actor and television presenter. He is best known for the spoof show Switch, as well as being a permanent member of the previous Genial guessing team (2003–2011) Genial Daneben.

Biography
Hoëcker grew up in Frankfurt. At the age of 10, he moved to Bonn with his family. He finished his Abitur (equivalent of the US high school diploma) at the Clara-Schumann-Gymnasium. Between 1993 and 1996, Hoëcker studied economics up to intermediate diploma level (German: Vordiplom) at the University of Bonn and quit his studies thereafter.

Hoëcker works on German broadcasters as comedian and actor.

Hoëcker is married to Eva von Mühlenfels, has two daughters and lives with his family in Bonn. However, as Hoëcker pointed out in the program Missverstehen Sie mich richtig (Translated:) "Do you misunderstand me correctly", this statement is not correct. He did, however, not specify which part of the statement was not correct.

In his free time, he does geocaching, among other things.
