Frank Plasberg's surprising hobby: a railway in the garden?

In the last episode of "Inas Nacht" on July 25, 2024, an unexpected topic was addressed, which amazed both the audience and the guests. Ina Müller welcomed the former "hard but fair" presenter Frank Plasberg in the popular Hamburg pub "to the shellfish post" and revealed his surprising passion for model trains.

A look at unusual hobbies in the spotlight

The 67-year-old Frank Plasberg is known to many as a long-time moderator, but his decision to retire does not mean that he wants to withdraw. Instead, he continues to pursue TV projects and uses appearances like this to present himself to the audience. Ina Müller asked him a supposedly harmless question about his leisure activity, which quickly took an amusing course.

The surprising reveal of Plasberg's hobby

When Ina Müller carried out an unofficial "fact check", it turned out that Frank Plasberg did not simply have a model railway in a basement, but actually a lane 1 railway that drives in his garden. "I don't have a model railway in the basement," he clarified, trying to loosen up the situation humorously. However, Müller made it understand that she has no interest in this kind of hobby, which had some laughs for the audience.

The connection between passion and public perception

The unveiling of Plasberg's hobby raises questions of how the public deals with the hobbies of celebrities. Often unusual interests are perceived as something negative, which is reflected in In's comment: "This is even more embarrassing than having a model railway in the basement."

a conversation about passion and understanding

Frank Plasberg repeatedly tried to bring Ina Müller closer to the advantages of his railway, including the possibility of transporting drinks. But the 59-year-old show master remained hard and expressed that she could be interested in this form of the hobby "zero". This dialogue illustrates how different people can feel their passions and why not everyone understands the hobbies of others.

The social context of hobbies

The discussion about Plasberg's hobby may seem entertaining at first glance, but also raises deeper questions of how we perceive the passions of others. Especially with celebrities, there is often a certain expectation that their leisure activities should be "more interesting" or "trendy". This expectation can lead to stigmatization that makes it difficult for people to get excited about their personal interests.

In summary, the program "Inas Nacht" shows that the disclosure of hobbies, regardless of how extraordinary they may appear, can create space for humor and personal discussion. Even if not everyone shares their enthusiasm for model railways, this type of exchange contributes to the variety of human interests.
