Peter Geyer
Businessman, mediator & creative force
LORIOT
For three decades in various functions side by side with LORIOT and his legal successors. All LORIOT books since the death of this wonderful man and humourist were initiated, conceived, structured, implemented and edited by Peter Geyer. His 24th LORIOT book, ‘Wum & Wendelin’, will be published by Diogenes in the autumn of 2025.
Since 1996, Peter Geyer has been running www.loriot.de for merchandising, advertising and other tasks assigned to him in the LORIOT cosmos. From the ‘Kosakenzipfel (Cossack Tip)’ at Kamps bakery to handkerchiefs with LORIOT drawings for Tempo and the wine bottles from the sketch ‘Vertreterbesuch (Representative Visit)’ for the German Red Cross under the patronage of Frank-Walter Steinmeier, he has always successfully played the part of consultant and mediator.
Kinski
Peter Geyer also managed the artistic estate of acting legend Klaus Kinski from 1998 to 2012. In 2001, he published ‘Fieber - Tagebuch eines Aussätzigen (Fever - Diary of a Leper)’, early poems by Kinski, which he was also to stage with both Ben Becker and Nikolai Kinski. His biography ‘Klaus Kinski’ was published by Suhrkamp in 2006.
Peter Geyer's Kinski documentary ‘Jesus Christus Erlöser/ Jesus Christ Saviour’ premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008 and subsequently toured other film festivals around the world. His coffee table ‘Kinski - Vermächtnis (Kinski - Legacy)’ was a favourite of the arts pages in 2011.
Katharina Seebacher
Graphic designer, internet enthusiast & editor
Since 2017, the go-to graphic designer for everything that needs to be beautifully packaged, designed and animated. She is rather embarrassed by her talent for rigorous proofreading. Thanks to Katharina Seebacher, we can produce books independently, from the initial idea to the delivery of the final print data to the publisher.
Katharina Seebacher was responsible for editing Peter Geyer's film ‘LORIOT's Great Cartoon Revue’, which premiered at the Berlinale in 2023. She generally likes it when images move and enthusiastically plays around with animations.
This website and several others were conceived, designed and built by her – who has followed the development of the internet with fascination since its inception.
