About my home region, tours, family and me | A fantastic winter is gone |
Welcome to my homepage, friends! On this first page I would like to introduce myself.
It got a nice "tradition" and after a long break-time I start it again: change that start picture time by time. Always it is one of my favorite, because of the theme or only if it is a special likable shot, most are of my homeland. All former start pictures are to be seen in my external websites.
Here is the Main Page |
|  | TABARZ, my homeland Since tree years again I live in the region of my childhood and youth, 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 daughter and her family |
| | 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 in Vienna together with his girlfriend Dorina (from Budapest). We visit another how often we can. In November of 2008 my family grown. I got my second granddaughter Helena, child of my daughter. My boy is the cook of Theatercafé in Vienna. |
| Photographing in my homeland |
| | 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. That was my first wish to study, but in GDR it was "no free job". Since nearly one year I work as freelanced journalist, esp. for one 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 |
| Jan and me in Palace Schoenbrunn, Vienna |
| | VIENNA In September 2007 I visited my son in Vienna. Oh, what a long time without him... one year without a meeting, too long.
It was a fantastic time there. Vienna is great. The architecture is very impressive! The town is very alive and sooo beautiful.
Strongly I have to update my pages about Thuringia, Tabarz and the new one about Vienna, but I was and still am so busy at time.
Please, have patience and sometimes a look for my pages.'ll give my best! *lol |
