– born on 27.7.1973 in Gehrden
– Baccalaureate 1993 in Gehrden
– Military service 1993-1994
– Studied business administration in Saarbrücken and Frankfurt 1994-1999; editor at news agencies
– Equity analyst for technology stocks at two financial institutions 2000-2004
– since 2004 Writer or in advance: main topics world nutrition – world population – world government – world court
– World Population in the 21st Century published in 2014 after 10 years of work and subsequently other books (including World Food, Universe, Women in the 21st Century) – without demand, interest or support. Marketing has obviously been my great weakness or Achilles’ heel so far.
– I haven’t flown since 2004, before that I took a few flights in economy class.
– In the period from 2000-2003, I owned my own car mainly for professional reasons. In 1994, as a soldier, I used a borrowed car for a short time. In addition, I was able to convince my mother to sell her older car in 2013. Since then, I have rarely used a cab.
– In the meantime, I have gotten used to not flying or driving a car. Instead, I use a bicycle and public transportation.
– I couldn’t convince my mother to renovate her house to make it more energy efficient. However, I did manage to have the old oil heating replaced with a new gas condensing boiler in 2015.
– In addition to the heating standard and heat generation, the behavior of the consumer is crucial. Both I and my mother are content with far below-average temperatures in winter. I heat my occupied room of 13-14 m2 to well below average at 12-16 degrees Celsius. In previous years, I had even lower temperatures. Of course, the cold hurts, especially as I can’t get used to it, as warm temperatures prevail in spring and summer.
– I bought very little new furniture when I had to furnish a two-room apartment.
– Only little and used information technology. I have my laptop repaired if necessary.
– Nature-friendly hobbies such as yoga, pilates, cycling, swimming, history and playing chess.
– Shoes, clothes and objects are repaired, even if this sometimes requires more effort.
– Items are disposed of sustainably, at least I make an effort.
– Compost heap in my own garden, which serves as a waste chute. I can use the compost to strengthen all plants and trees in a natural way.
– Cultivation of fruit, soft fruit and vegetables and their elaborate utilization. I should mention the care of trees and ornamental shrubs at this point.
– Valuable food from the garden was sometimes given away to good friends, although I have almost completely stopped giving it away in recent years due to a lack of gratitude.
– Eating up food and partly correcting the mistakes of others.
I also pursued my commitment to the environment as part of the mountain forest project. All projects were carried out by me on a voluntary basis and with my own donations. I did outstanding work as a tree planter and hunter, and only average work when it came to building and dismantling fences and rewetting the moor.
Werdohl: Planting linden, rowan, wild cherry, oak, beech and alder.
Amrum: Remove blackberries, maintain young growth.
Naturpark Ötztal/Österreich: Planting Swiss stone pines and larches.
Harz: Planting copper beeches.
Eibenstock: Planting fir trees.
Adamswalde: Planting of sessile oaks, fence removal.
Sonneberg: Planting larches and firs.
Adamswalde: Planting of sessile oaks, copper beeches and fence construction.
Lichtenau: Moor rewetting and maintenance.
– 9 weeks of voluntary and self-financed work for the mountain forest project.
– I gave donations to other institutions in the middle range.
– I could donate part of the proceeds from the sale of my books to the rewetting of fens. As there is no interest in my books in Germany and I have not been able to sell them in large print runs either through Monsenstein-Verlag or the printing company/website Bookstation, I should stop my efforts here in Germany and try abroad. The rights to my books could therefore become very valuable later on.
– On the subject of money:
I haven’t had any income in the past five years. If I want to earn money, I don’t want to have to justify myself. What’s more, I’ve been insidiously cheated twice out of larger contributions. I will therefore have to take care of my own living expenses. Responsibility for myself now comes before magnanimity, self-protection before idealism. I also don’t want to be taken advantage of any more.
My new value of humility before death and my spiritual strength are best suited to the philosopher or the one who wants to seek and reveal the deeper meaning of life. It is the royal virtue, as even powerful rulers must acknowledge their powerlessness in the face of death.
– Health.
– A meaningful life.
– A beautiful death (stroke).
The value of humility before death is incompatible with care for the elderly, regardless of whether it is enforced by the state or carried out privately.
