It’s been almost eight months since Oliver and Amira Pocher had to leave their home overnight because of the flood disaster. Pietro Lombardi offered them shelter during this time. Now the Pochers are finally back in their own four walls. But not everyone is happy about that…
“We’re back home. A life on the construction site,” announces Oliver Pocher, 44, moderately enthusiastic in the joint podcast “The Pochers here!” with his wife Amira Pocher, 29. The two had to leave their house in July 2021 after it was partially destroyed by flooding. Pietro Lombardi, 29, didn’t hesitate and offered the Pochers and their two children their new house while he moved into the hotel himself.
Amira Pocher: “Finally you can say ‘home’ again”
A selfless service of friendship, which Amira in particular no longer wanted to take advantage of. “Finally you can say ‘home’ again without having to listen to a stupid saying. I’m just so happy,” she says happily. She pushed for it, although even Pietro was “so relaxed”. “He said: ‘Amira, please don’t stress.'”
Although the renovation work is far from complete, it is progressing quickly. “We now have a temporary kitchen and it’s still a bit cold because there are no doors. They’re digging in the garden. The tiles haven’t been laid completely yet. The child safety locks are temporary,” she enumerates, “but we’ll come with you much, much less rightly. So we’re grateful, well I’m very, very grateful and very happy despite everything.”
Oliver Pocher: “It’s really extreme”
Oliver Pocher does not seem to agree with his loved ones. “I’m happy when you’re happy. I would have contradicted me several times now,” he replies. He said it made no sense to live on the construction site. “But now it’s really extreme. Well, at the moment we have a stovetop or a hotplate that I bought from Metro. We don’t have running water,” says the comedian. In addition, the dishes are rinsed off in the bathtub and the terrace is “turned completely inside out”.
However, Amira does not see the situation as dramatically. “We still have more than we need. Everything is intact upstairs. So the first floor is complete, we have everything there. And upstairs, we still have enough toilets and sinks and bathrooms. That’s it it’s all luxury, so we can do without it for the time being,” she clarifies.
Emotional return
She is still happy because she appreciates her home even more. “You know how I cried, well that’s exaggerated now, but for me it’s so emotional because I had the children’s room set up with so much love,” she says and has to laugh a little at her choice of words. “I have my rituals with the children here. The little one was still very, very small. And it was all deserted here. You’re gone from one day to the next, here are still the Pampers in the size that he had six, seven months ago,” says Amira wistfully. “In this house, our children create their childhood memories. And that’s just beautiful. And I’m grateful for that and I’m very, very happy that we are here together again and I appreciate it very much.”
