Michael Schanze finds a new apartment in Munich
TV presenter Michael Schanze has found a new apartment after months of searching in Munich.
He is 79 and must leave the house where he has lived for 13 years because it is due to be demolished.
His search was difficult because his progressive nerve condition makes many stairs unsuitable, and he needs room for a concert grand piano for his work as a musical composer.
The new apartment is reported to be in Obermenzing, the Munich district where his current home is.
Finding a home means he can avoid moving to a senior residence, which he had considered as a backup plan.
His move is planned before he has to clear the house by the end of the year, though no specific moving date is given.
