About my home region and me

Welcome to my homepage, friends!

Long time I had a break of my VT page. Now I want refresh, but in another kind.
On that first page I would like to introduce myself.

TABARZ, my homeland

view to Tabarz

Since end of 2006 I live in the region of my childhood and youth again, Tabarz. There I grown up, but left first when I was 19 years old, studied. After study I gone the "normal way" of a young people in former GDR, married, children born, searched for my goals and did my jobs. I lived in some parts of Thuringia, 21 years in a row of them in southeast of Thuringia.
But Tabarz is one of the most beautiful parts of Thuringia, a gate to Thuringian Forest, interesting, with economy stability... and my home.

Tabarz is a nice town with specific charm, a long tradition by tourism and numerous marvelous town houses. Remotely and famous towns like Eisenach, Weimar, Gotha or the capital of Thuringia Erfurt are not far from Tabarz.
Very important for my whole education and development (more than study) was my school time in a special and traditional humanistic school named Salzmannschule. One travelogue of Thuringia Page includes details and history of this interesting and unique school, close to Tabarz.

Me and my profession

one example

Since some years I'm a "full time journalist". Means you are this really every time - or never. I love to see with the "eye of camera" and writing. I work freelanced but mostly for a Thuringian magazin (politics, economy, tourism, culture and sports). So I am always on tour, but mainly in Thuringia.
And so inside my travel pages you can find -mostly- tipps about Thuringia.*

THURINGIA - some facts

Map of Thuringia

The Free State of Thuringia is located in the middle of Germany, which is borderd from Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt in the East and Northeast, Bavaria in the South, Hesse in West, Lower Saxony in Northwest. The state is also very close to Czechia in East.
The capital is Erfurt. Thuringia has last 2,54 Mio habitants and the extent is similar to Schleswig-Holstein. Thuringian mountains (Forest) is up to nearly 1000 ms. The famous mountain way named Rennsteig is 168 kms long and leads always along the height of mountains.
Thuringia is called "The Green Heart of Germany" because of its well wooded region. Bigger towns are Eisenach, Erfurt, Weimar, Jena and Gera.

Near to my hometown is Eisenach, border town between Thuringia and Hesse. There you can visit the famous Castle Wartburg. Something about these impressive castle (UNESCO World Heritage) you find also in my tips of new page about Thuringia. Another pictures I uploaded into that album WARTBURG

My life

my life

My life - this is my job and my family. Last means my children, anyway they are adult, my grandchilds and some other relatives. My garden and my love to the nature. I like to be outside, photographing, watching animals and have fun with my family. I'm very close to them because I think that only these are people you can count on all the time. I experienced that other people go or leave by time or when hard destiny will catch you.
