The Path

Restaurant work here is split between authorship and operation: Maximilian Schmidt is listed as chef / owner of Roter Hahn Regensburg and Executive Chef of Rüssel's Landhaus.

The Work Today

Creative cuisine at the Naurath restaurant is built from the Mosel-Saar region outward. Seasonal produce and the surrounding landscape set the working frame for the menu, with the kitchen treating place as a practical source rather than a decorative claim. The dish names show the range of that register: Dry Aged Char, RhubarbXO, Radish, Wasabi, Lemon, Gooseberry. Peach, Corn & Oolong. Mieze Schindler, Oolong Mousse & Whey. Fermented Asparagus "Beurre Monte". The second current post, chef / owner at Roter Hahn in Regensburg, adds the operational side of the trade to the cooking. In that role, Maximilian Schmidt carries both authorship and ownership responsibility.
