Storytelling lends itself to many places and many occasions.
With a degree in cultural studies, I can put my findings and my experience to good use in my storytelling. I’ve learnt to take a closer look, and because cultural history – and stories – have become my passion. And because I’ve learnt how important storytelling is for people of all ages and all sizes – great and small.
Because of this, I now give storytelling workshops:
- for the ‘great’, teaching them the finer points of storytelling,
- and for the ‘small’, who get to hear lots of stories and fairy-tales as well as understand what dragons and witches and all those characters are all about.
- And all of them, great and small alike, learn about what makes a great hero’s journey, and how to invent their very own.
I also give talks and lectures, and assist in designing exhibition concepts and curating. I write articles and stories too. It’s quite hard to pigeonhole me – practically impossible, in fact.
Walking tours of the historic city centre.in Munich and Sisi Story dinner experience are also available in English!
I tell stories on a walk, over a good dinner, or on an excursion. Or in your classroom. Or just as they come. After all, life is all about stories.
Most popular stories:
- Original Austrian/ German folk tales and urban legends.
- Stories about Empress Elisabeth of Austria - Sisi, Sissi or Sissy

Sisi Dinner
Empress Elisabeth of Austria was regarded as the most beautiful woman of her age. She disregarded imperial etiquette, could ride as skilfully as any man, and there were even rumours of a tattoo …But at the Viennese court Sisi was a bird in a golden cage and sought refuge in a world of her own creation, writing poems, obsessively cultivating her beauty, going on endurance-testing hikes – and perhaps even having passionate affairs?
An unconventional life – and, in fact, far more unconventional than many of us can imagine today.
Over a three-course gourmet dinner in an elegant and stylish setting, Wilma Pfeiffer tells the best and most incredible stories about the Empress – so enchanting, yet so very misunderstood.
Duration: approx. 3 hours
The Sisi Dinner is held regularly in Munich in Schlosswirtschaft Schwaige (Nymphenburg Palace), and often in other restaurants with slight variations.

Online report by Anja:
Fantastic dinner experience
The Sisi Dinner was really great. The food was delicious and the service in the restaurant was attentive, competent and very, very friendly.
But the absolute icing on the cake was the storyteller, who took us on a fascinating journey through the life of the Empress. We had wondered whether we would learn anything new, besides what we already knew from the famous Sisi films and the musical ‘Elisabeth’. But we were treated to great new stories, brilliantly performed by this superb storyteller. I would recommend the evening to anyone.
