Author portrait

Does what you once imagined correspond to the current reality? Or to put it another way: What is life like between the ideal and reality?"
This philosophical question has always fascinated author and podcaster Tobias Nikolayev.

With their podcast "Der Gutshauspod", Ralf and he have embarked on a fascinating journey through the world of manor houses and country castles. The history of these places is largely well documented and there are only a few gaps. But what about the people who are actively working to preserve this indispensable cultural heritage for us and future generations?

"...We are Ralf and Tobias, the two of us with a podcast. We share a fascination for historical building culture in general and old manor houses in particular. The idealism of their owners swept us away from the very first moment."

That's how it sounds when author and initiator Tobias Nikolayev talks about his format "Der Gutshauspod", which has been inspiring listeners since its launch in 2022. Modest and incredibly likeable. "Der Gutshauspod" has long since achieved cult status. Wherever author Tobias Nikolayev speaks in front of a specialist audience, he receives applause. His interviews attract attention. What he has to report is moving!

Tobias Nikolayev doesn't want to reveal any more about himself at first. The reason for this: "Neither Ralf nor I are the authors or presenters of the podcast, but the book, the houses, the people and their stories and thus the history of us all. But one more thing: we are the authors who have traveled the country together and conducted valuable garden fence conversations for you."
