"Was ich gern früher über das Vatersein gewusst hätte": Buchpremiere mit Sebastian Tigges und Peter Wittkamp!

In the organizer's words:

Father at last, and then what? Ex-lawyer and podcaster The Walking Dad Sebastian Tigges is coming to the Colosseum on May 7 together with author Peter Wittkamp to talk about fatherhood and why the desire to do better than your own father is not enough on the occasion of the book premiere of "Becoming Dad".

It is often said that you can't really prepare for parenthood or fatherhood. Sebastian Tigges says: Yes, you can - at least better than he did before the birth of his two children. He shows why fathers are well advised to ask themselves questions such as: How present do I want to be in my children's lives? How do we plan our careers and finances? And how do we divide up care work fairly? Because simply intending to do things better or differently than your own father is not enough. Based on his own experiences, Tigges encourages men to take responsibility and actively shape fatherhood. Because then everyone wins - the children, the mothers and, above all, the fathers themselves.

Sebastian Tigges became famous overnight for his successful format The Walking Dad on Instagram, and since then he has been regarded as a role model for modern fatherhood and is very present in the media in this context. He runs the successful family podcast Family Feelings with his ex-partner Marie Nasemann and also hosts his own format Männer weinen heimlich. In his former life, Sebastian Tigges worked as a lawyer for insolvency law and founded an egg liqueur brand. Born in Münster, he lives in Berlin with his two children.

Peter Wittkamp initially studied sociology in Berlin. From 2006, he writes as a freelance author for "Business Punk" and the "Tagesspiegel", among others. In 2007, he began working as a student trainee at Universal Music and subsequently worked for the music label as a market researcher. In 2011, Wittkamp joined TLGG as a concept developer for two years. He works as a copywriter for Google and Deutsche Bahn, among others. In 2015, he helped develop the BVG campaign "#weilwirdichlieben". In the same year, Wittkamp became the main author of the online edition of "heute show". In the book "Für mich soll es Neurosen regnen" he deals humorously with his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
