Olaf was together with his wife, a sociologist, for a very long time, who unfortunately passed away in 2011. Since her death, Olaf has not had a long-term relationship.

If she had sailing as a hobby, that would be an absolute dream.

Iris (54) from the USA

Farm: Rescue animal farm
Hobbies: Fishing, boating and sculpting

Iris worked as a banker for a US bank in Germany before emigrating to the USA with her ex-husband in 2000 to support her parents-in-law in their company. After the divorce in 2005, she was left with only her part of the country in the USA, without any money, job or friends – she was unable to return to Germany because of the shared custody of her four children. Fence post by fence post, she then built her lifelong dream of having her own sanctuary for farm animals, where today around 90 animals are allowed to spend their twilight years. Iris finances her farm through donations.

Iris is an honest, helpful and compassionate person who helps others wherever she can. She is very passionate and loving, especially when it comes to her animals. Unfortunately, she is sometimes a bit chaotic and has trouble saying no.

Iris has been married once and then had two longer relationships. She has now been single for over six months and is looking for a warm-hearted, reliable and sporty man to share life’s little, beautiful moments together.

Finally find true love! It’s not just the farmers in this country who are wishing for this, there are also plenty of lonely hearts internationally. None other than Inka Bause comes to their aid on BAUER SUCHT FRAU INTERNATIONAL. From Europe to South America, no distance is too far for the most successful matchmaker on German television.

On his farm, Ezequiel cultivates the Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grape varieties at an altitude of 1,000 meters in the old tradition. The 1.73 meter tall Argentinian describes himself as fun and structured. In his free time, he is active in sports, plays soccer, goes to the gym or windsurfs. The drama teacher also has a special hobby: “I worked in a barbershop for a few years and learned the trade. Now it’s my hobby, it allows me to express myself artistically.” As a young man, Ezequiel went on an exchange to Germany and has spoken very good German ever since.

The main source of income is olive oil, but he also runs a guest house and has a few chickens, a turkey and a woolly pig. In his free time, Karl-Heinz loves to bake, especially German sourdough bread, which he sorely misses in his adopted country: “The woman who comes to me expects a house husband here who can cook, bake and make real Italian ice cream.” The Ruhr Valley native is also a full-blooded grandpa and enjoys spending a lot of time with his grandchildren and three grown-up children.

The 27-year-old loves working with his hands and loves cooking. To balance things out, the devout Christian does a lot of sport – playing soccer, table tennis or squash. Now all he needs for perfect happiness is the love of his life. His dream woman should be around his age and share his Christian faith.

Today, the social science graduate is a farmer with heart and soul and feels at home in his adopted country. The two-metre tall giant pays close attention to his physical fitness and diet: Emil exercises every day and follows a keto diet. Otherwise, he finds relaxation in reading science fiction books. At BAUER SUCHT FRAU INTERNATIONAL, the 55-year-old would like to fall in love again – with the right partner at his side, the father of two does not rule out having more children. His dream woman should have a positive attitude and be sporty. Emil is a hopeless romantic and looks forward to surprising his future wife with small gestures.

The 60-year-old is a cowboy with heart and soul – including the hat that goes with it, which he rarely takes off. For the self-trained horse farmer, natural handling of his animals is very important. When his free time allows, the native Swabian also likes to take part in horse competitions or go line dancing, for which he still lacks the right partner. Tom has been divorced for almost 30 years and has been single for four years. The father of two grown-up children is missing the person “who completes his life”. His dream woman should be adventurous and just as crazy as he is. If his future wife is also interested in horses, nothing stands in the way of their happiness.

The third season of BAUER SUCHT FRAU INTERNATIONAL has only just come to an end and the next love seekers from around the world are already waiting in the wings.

In search of the great love are in the 4th season:

Charly was born in Namibia and has worked in agriculture since his youth. He has been widowed for almost two years. The farmer has a daughter and a son who both live in Africa. In his free time, he loves to play his bass marimba. When he’s not making music, he’s out on his boat. He also enjoys sports in his free time: in addition to soccer and bowling, he also loves fishing. Only the right woman has yet to bite.

Justin lives with his parents on their shared farm, one of the last family farms in the village. Justin has wanted to be a farmer since he was a child. When he has time off, he likes to go dancing, cruise around on one of his bikes or travel through Europe. The 30-year-old has been single since the end of 2020.

Matthias is not unknown to the audience. He already took part in the audition round for the third season at Easter 2021. But because he hasn’t found the love of his life yet, the search continues. Young farmer Matthias was born in South Africa and was adopted together with his twin brother Hanno. He moved with his adoptive parents to a German community in Namibia when he was still a child. Together with Hanno, he runs a timber and cattle farm. The exotic animals and the vastness of the country are particularly appealing to the farmer. Matthias enjoys working on cars in his spare time. Having grown up with the German culture and language, he would like a strong woman from Germany who is willing to lend a hand, but who also enjoys life. Can Inka Bause help him find happiness in love this time?

Rolinka is alone on the farm and rents out rooms to guests. She has been running the farm since 2011, where she has gradually built up everything. She generates electricity and hot water using solar energy. Rolinka comes from the Netherlands, where she studied tourism. Her last relationship was four years ago. The 54-year-old spends a lot of time cycling or going to the Mediterranean, otherwise she likes to meditate and cook.

Rüdiger lives on the farm with the farm owner and a few employees. He grew up partly in South Africa and has also spent four years working in Singapore and five years in China. The well-traveled man was married for six years and has been divorced since 2016. His favorite activities include e-biking, hiking, swimming, cooking and baking. Rüdiger likes to organize extensive movie nights for his friends.

Tom emigrated to Australia as a teenager with his parents and two sisters. With his own horse ranch, he has fulfilled a lifelong dream. He has been single for four years. The 58-year-old was previously married for eleven years and has been divorced since 1994. Riding is Tom’s profession and greatest passion. He also enjoys traveling and dancing.

The international heart-throb continues: From April 19, there will be six new episodes on RTL. Always on Sundays at 20:15.

The first new episode of “Bauer sucht Frau International” features beekeeper Daniel from New Zealand, fruit and crop farmer Christoph from Italy, poultry farmer Vivien from Australia and farmer Sigi from Namibia. Daniel and Christoph have traveled all the way to Germany to choose their farm wives, whereas Vivien and Sigi have chosen their favorites from afar.

These are the farmers:

Reiner (59)
Region: Dél-Alföld, Hungary
Business: horse trainer for Indian riding; nine horses, two dogs, seven cats
Hobbies: driving a convertible, kayaking, martial arts, mountain biking, inline skating, archery from horseback, longboarding with his dog

Ranch owner Reiner has created his own personal paradise in the vastness of Hungary. The 59-year-old lives here with his horses and offers vacations on the farm – hospitality is very important to him. His real passion, however, is the Native American philosophy of life. The active horse trainer trains young horses in the Indian way and takes care of problem horses. Reiner has now been divorced for two years and describes himself as an “incorrigible romantic”. All he needs now to make him happy is the right cowgirl at his side.

Christoph, 30
Region: Emilia Romania, Italy
Farm: Fruit and arable farming with pears, corn and soy; Christoph’s brother also keeps four donkeys and two calves
Hobbies: Trips to riding competitions, fishing, parties

Born in South Tyrol, Christoph is a true country boy. The sensitive fruit farmer has taken over the family farm in Italy together with his brother and cannot imagine life without farming. In his free time, the 30-year-old young farmer enjoys going to horse races, fishing and partying with his friends. So far, Christoph has not been able to find the love of his life, but he hopes that the time has finally come and he will find “the woman of his life”. After all, the devout Christian wants one thing with all his heart – to start a family!

Vivien (38)
Region: Queensland, Australia
Farm: Poultry farm with 300 chickens, 50 turkeys, 20 ducks, 20 geese, 20 quails and three dogs
Hobbies: Is in a chicken club and takes part in competitions, reading

Vivien, known as Viv, packed her bags with her then boyfriend in 2005 and emigrated to her dream country of Australia. Here, the humorous 38-year-old now runs a poultry farm, where she is probably the craziest chicken. However, Viv is only on her farm at weekends – during the week, the Australian lives in Brisbane and works for a charity there. The likeable farmer always wears her heart on her sleeve, which unfortunately hasn’t brought her any luck in love with Australian men so far. Since March 2018, the loving chicken farmer has been going through life alone and wants a strong partner by her side, as “life is much nicer as a couple”.

Gerhard (61)
Region: Free State, South Africa
Farm: livestock farming with 100 sheep, 50 cattle, 70 goats; beekeeping with eight bee colonies; music conference center
Hobbies: Active musician (bassoon), swimming, classic cars, woodworking

After returning from Germany, Gerhard fulfilled his dream of owning a farm in Africa. On his idyllic 130-hectare farm, he not only raises livestock from local breeds of sheep, goats and cattle, but has also built an impressive music venue. Out of love for nature, the prudent livestock farmer pays particular attention to sustainability and avoids drastic changes to the landscape. From the hill behind his house, you can look out over the panorama of an almost untouched and breathtaking savannah in the light of the African sun. But even though the farm and his music keep him busy, Gerhard is still looking for a woman who wants to share not only his love of the land, but also his life.

Ashok (42)
Region: Goa, India
Farm: Coconut/palm plantation & farmstay with seven cows, two goats, two turkeys, chickens, five dogs and three cats
Hobbies: water sports, hiking, mountain biking and motorcycle tours

Ashok lives where others go on vacation. Together with his father, Ashok runs a 20-hectare coconut and palm plantation with an adjoining farmstay. Surrounded by lush jungle and exotic fruits, the focus here is on sustainability, conserving resources and appreciating the landscape. After a failed marriage, the right woman has not yet been found and so the balanced coconut farmer continues to hope for a woman with whom he can enjoy the beautiful moments in life and build a future together.

Emanuel (44)
Region: Styria, Austria
Farm: farm with 25 horses, three mules, four donkeys, eight pigs, three cows, two oxen, sheep, goats and 30 laying hens
Hobbies: Emanuel takes time out by driving to nearby Graz and going to the theater or cinema there

Emanuel is the Robin Hood of farmers. He rushes to the aid of animals in need and gives them a new home at his “Edelweiss” farm. He cares for their welfare with every fiber of his heart and makes them the top priority in his life. “Love goes through the stomach” has a very special meaning for the convinced vegan: “If you love animals, you don’t eat them.” But nobody has to go hungry with the former restaurateur. The charming Swiss chef is a magician in the kitchen and loves to serve up animal-free meals. For the direct Emanuel, one thing is clear – if you want to win his heart, you have to get in line behind his beloved four-legged friends. Can his ladies-in-waiting live with that?

Sigi (71)
Region: Hardap, Namibia
Farm: Self-sufficient farm with four cows and 70 goats
Hobbies: Farming is his hobby, reading

As a “retired farmer”, it’s hard for Siegfried, known as Sigi, to lose his cool. With the help of his housekeeper and his worker, the sprightly pensioner slowly brings the 1300-hectare farm, which he has only owned for a few months, closer to his expectations: he keeps or grows what he needs. Surrounded by dry land on the edge of the Kalahari Desert, Sigi’s farm is like an oasis. In addition to a well-tended garden, the pool offers a refreshing dip on hot days, while the jacuzzi provides warm and cozy relaxation on balmy evenings. With this image of his farm in mind, Sigi is looking for a woman who shares his motto of life: “A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved. A joy shared is a joy doubled.”

Daniel, 22
Region: Oamaru, New Zealand
Farm: Beekeeper with 800 hives
Hobbies: badminton, fishing, out and about in nature

Daniel’s family emigrated to New Zealand in 1998, when Daniel was just one year old. He lives on the farm with his parents and two sisters. The 1.98m tall beekeeper manages 800 bee colonies and specializes primarily in queen breeding. Daniel has not yet found the queen of his heart, “I’ve never been in a real relationship”. Daniel wants a lively, funny partner with whom he can share his everyday life and his love of nature.
