I was born in Heilbronn on October 30, 1962 and grew up there. I was baptized and confirmed in the Nikolaikirche, like my grandmother before her. I went to school at the Dammgrundschule and the Robert-Mayer-Gymnasium. As a student, I volunteered politically and in the rescue service at the German Life Saving Society.
As a responsible citizen, I did my military service immediately after graduating from high school and then became a career officer. I completed my academic training at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich with a diploma in education.
I have been married to a woman from Heilbronn for over 30 years and am the father of two sons who also served our country for a good year straight after graduating from high school and saved people's lives as paramedics for the Workers' Samaritan Association - I am very proud of that!
I worked for our country abroad for several years with and without family, and was involved in several foreign missions.
My hobbyhorse over all these years remained the European idea with the European Federalists as the supporting association. That's why I've been the district chairman of the EUROPA-UNION Heilbronn for a good eighteen years and hold other voluntary positions there.
After my retirement, my wife and I returned home and began to get more involved in Heilbronn again.
Since July 6, 2022, I have also been chairman of the Free Voters City Association of Heilbronn e. v.
