Dietmar Thumm

Originally from Basel, he has lived in Central Switzerland for over 45 years. As a qualified eye surgeon, he runs the Zentravis eye practice at Bahnhofplatz in Lucerne and is a co-founder of the Sursee Eye Day Clinic. He also initiated an optical chain with the integration of ophthalmic diagnostics into the eyewear business and a so-called one-price policy, Doctor-Eyepoint. “Central Switzerland is a paradise. Being able to live and/or work here is a privilege.”

He builds model trains in H0 and H0m scales with the themes of Göschenen and Disentis (planned).
He likes steam locomotives and steamships and is a member of the Lake Lucerne Steamship Company.
He sings in the Basel Theater Choir (due to lack of time…).
He enjoys hiking, skiing, cycling, concerts and cinema, as well as traditional and popular Swiss folk theater.
He shoots videos, edits, and creates his own soundtrack.
He also enjoys cooking, spending time outdoors and playing games like “The Settlers of Catan…”
