Hommage an den Bodensee: “Wenn ich den See seh´, brauch´ich kein Meer mehr” Der Bodensee – mehr als ein See. Er ist ein Gefühl, ein Flirren in der Luft, ein leises Rauschen, das Geschichten erzählt.

Für Muriel Maynau — alias Bettina Bader, ein waschechtes Bodensee-Kind — aufgewachsen in diesem kleinen Winzerdorf am See, ist der Bodensee Heimat, Sehnsuchtsort und ewige Inspiration.

Das Hotel „Höri-Traum“ lag da wie eine schlafende Diva. Ein Jugendstiljuwel, das selbst im Mondlicht noch eine gewisse Eitelkeit versprühte. Der See glitzerte schwarz und geheimnisvoll, als hätte er beschlossen, sich mit der Nacht zu verbünden.

Nur das Hotel wirkte wie aus der Zeit gefallen – mit seinen ziselierten Balkonen, den hohen Fenstern und diesem beinahe zu perfekten Schweigen. Doch Stille hat die unangenehme Eigenschaft, sich gern selbst zu verraten. Manchmal genügt schon ein Schritt.
