Born on January, 13th 1942 in Berlin.
Study of Zoology, Botany and Chemistry at Free University Berlin.
Assistent and Assistent Professor at Free University and Academic Council at Technical University at Berlin.
Numerous travels abroad (Japan, China, Taiwan, France, Croatia, Montenegro, Cyprus, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Soviet Union, USA).
Several publications in scientific periodicals on leeches, insects, myriapoda, and chelicerata (acari, araneids, solifugi and uropygi).
Knowledge of languages: English, French, German, Russian, Polish and Czech.
Maybe you would like to know, why I am interested in such odd creatures:
The reason maybe that as a small child I had to wait for my mother at the edge of fields, when we were in Hessen.
