It is diffcult to characterize oneself...

I consider myself as open-minded and interested in many different things. This does not interfere with my affinity to conservative thought, as I am shure, that postmodern pluralism and tradition can fruitfully coexist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, it is always amazing to direct a theatre production and act on stage. I am doing this since 2000 in a local amateur theatre esemble founded by me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am looking forward to meet other people, because different social and cultural backgrounds as well as different worldviews can leed to interesting encounters. I often travel with distinct aims (visiting specific buildings, museums or archives), but I'm always interested in spending time with other people to see more than the narrow circle of my main interests.
