I was born and grew up in 1965 in the Raabestadt Eschershausen / Germany until I moved to Nuremberg (Bavaria) in 1995. After years in steady jobs and a stable life, I decided to take a new direction. Since fall 2023, I have been living in Transylvania in the beautiful city of Sighisoara and, so to speak, again
"in the countryside".
