Born in the city of Hamburg, happily married, no children, I'm 2.02 meters tall (6.6). I lived in many German cities and in small villages. I'm glad to live now already 30 years in “Bad Essen” in the north-west of Germany not far from the North Sea and the Netherlands.

I like to live there in a small town near a major city. Bad Essen has about 15,000 inhabitants. Our county town of “Osnabruck”, 18 miles away has about 170,000 inhabitants. “Bad Essen” is located in the heart of the park Terra Vita in the country at the beautiful area of the German Framework Road. The historic city center with Church Square, with old water mill and the marketplace is dominated by a cozy atmosphere.
