Herr Matthew McDonough

Germany

Matthew & Terris are two Canadians who decided in 2014 to move to Germany to experience living abroad for a year. Matthew had been working for the Ontario provincial government as a Policy Advisor, and Terris specialized in Energy Planning with an agency of the Ontario government. They were both looking for some new experiences with the idea of returning to Canada and their respective careers there after one year.

After getting to know Leipzig, meeting new friends, and observing the unique approaches to projects and society in Leipzig, they decided to make a long term move to the city. Life in Leipzig has a work/ life balance, access to nature and different countries/cultures, and a ease of transportation (especially cycling) that really impressed and suited them.

After a full year of renovating a weathered storefront, Matthew and Terris are now ready to open a small vinyl listening room and cafe in Leipzig.

Now only the espresso machine, coffee grinder, and supplies are outstanding.

The goal of opening the café is to provide a much-needed space in the neighbourhood to comfortably enjoy a coffee or ice cream.

The café concept of providing a comfortable space within which to listen to music suits Matthew and Terris. Both have longstanding interests and involvement in cultural activities through playing music in bands, as members of choirs, and as promoters and supporters of concerts, cooperative-run record labels and live-music series.
