About my home region, tours, family and me Welcome to my homepage, friends! On this first page I would like to introduce myself.
At first: Some of my start pictures are to be seen in my external websites.
Here is the Main Page |
|  | TABARZ, my homeland Since four years 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 in Leipzig. 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.
But Tabarz is one of the most beautiful landscapes of Thuringia, a gate to Thuringian Forest... 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. |
| | MY FAMILY I'm very proud of my family. My daughter and her family still lives in my former homeland, in Southeast of Thuringia. My boy lives and works in Vienna together with his girlfriend Dorina (from Budapest). In November of 2008 my family grown. I got my second granddaughter Helena, child of my daughter. |

| | ME and my profession I'm a jurisprudent. But this really was the wrong job. I'm a creative person. I love to see with the "eye of camera". So I found my second profession, developed that talent and during last year the next profession: journalism. Since more than one year I work as freelanced journalist, esp. for one regional newspaper. If you would like to see more about that professions, please, visit my website. The Main Page with a lot of links. |
| | THURINGIA - some facts 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 WARTBURGThuringian tourism, official website |
| | Travelling and VT In VT you will find some informations about my journeys in former times. Rare I find possibilities to travel. Because of financial causes or by time. I live alone and so it is like it is. But I have such a great homeland, great job and this and our region brings enough impressive events or sights to me. I have a full life without far countries. I feel satisfied and so I concentrate also the VT themes to that.
Of course, how often I can I visit my son in Vienna. The main reason is my son, not only Vienna as impressive and great town. |
