CURRENT MISSION

Intern at the GHI Washington

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Christian. I'm 23 years old, I study History and Religious Studies at Heidelberg University. I love to travel and meet new people. I consider myself a film buff and I'm happy to share this passion with my girlfriend Jasmin. Besides that I love to hear music, read a good book, play badminton with my friends or watch others do sports, preferrably soccer, motor-racing and American Football.
From May until the end of July I'm going to be an intern at the German Historical Institute in Washington DC. So if you're in the DC area, I would be happy to meet you to have a coffee or a drink.

PHILOSOPHY

"There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and who only knows? And we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so-and-so met someone else's so-and-so and so on. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that strange things happen all the time. And so it goes, and so it goes. And the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.""

"I'll tell you the greatest regret of my life: I let my love go."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Besides having met my girlfriend - I can't specify a single event, but I love these moments, when everything around is quiet and the world seems to have fallen asleep. For example a really early summer morning at dawn, when the first glimpses of the sun appear on the horizon and everything seems so peaceful. It is those moments when you look around yourself and you have this warm feeling, that everything is alright.
