For German VOGUE's big summer special, cheerful Bill Kaulitz returned home. Frederike Helwig photographed him in Loitsche, his hometown in Saxony-Anhalt, as well as on the nearby Kaliberg, a huge hill belonging to the local salt mine.

The Tokyo Hotel frontrunner was styled for the series by Niki PAULS c/o SHOTVIEW A.M.

Rarely has a shoot been more fun, which is, of course, also due to Bill Kaulitz's cheerful and positive nature." Kerstin Weng, Head of Editorial Content German VOGUE.

In the big Vogue summer story, Bill's best friend Andreas Gühne talks about their shared past and his life with the Kaulitzes, and also gives us a few private insights into what makes Bill tick.

And last but not least, he even tells you where you can meet Netflix darling Bill in person in Germany this fall...it's all in Vogue!
