Mourning in Zernikow: Restaurateur Jan Koch dies tragically in France
Tragic news reaches the community of Zernikow: local restaurateur Jan Koch, operator of the popular “Bric à Brac,” died while on vacation in France. This information was confirmed by Nico Zehmke, the director of the Gransee and municipalities office. The shock waves of loss go through the small town, which mourns the loss of an influential personality.
Jan Koch was in Corsica with his family when a tragic accident occurred. While they were bathing in the Fango River, a storm surge hit. The family was able to get to safety, but Jan Koch was found lifeless under a bridge. His family and the Zernikow community are deeply saddened by the loss, which is spreading widely.
A life for the community
Koch, born in 1980 and born in Baden-Württemberg, was not only a successful restaurateur, but also a passionate musician and songwriter. He ran the bistro together with his French wife Aurore, creating a place for encounters and enjoyment. His love of music and gastronomy made him an integral part of community life in the Stechlin region.
Pastor Jens Jacobi expressed his sadness at Koch's death and emphasized how important he was for the future of Zernikow. The events and markets he organized left a gap in the village community. A memorial service in the immediate circle is planned for Saturday evening to honor his memory and support the family during this difficult time.
