ABSTRACT



Das Wasser

Ohne Wort, ohne Wort
rinnt das Wasser immerfort;
andernfalls, andernfalls
spräch' es doch nichts andres als:

Bier und Brot, Lieb und Treu, --
und das wäre auch nicht neu.
Dieses zeigt, dieses zeigt,
daß das Wasser besser schweigt.
Christian Morgenstern



I was born in Berlin-Hermsdorf, at that time a district of the western part of Berlin. Germany was still divided by the wall and Berlin-West was surrounded by the German Democratic Republic, just like an island by the sea. After the reunification of the two German states, Berlin was becoming capital. However, a long time before that historical event, my family and I moved to a lovely village between Hamburg and Bremen. Now I'm living in Bremen. I'm sharing my flat with two cats, Lilly and Lissy.

Growing up in the seventies, I spent a lot of time building space ships with LEGO and watching cartoon series on TV. I was sitting in front of the telly, emotionally involved in the adventures of my childhood heroes, especially Wickie, the young viking boy, always saving the day, Biene Maja (based on the famous books by Waldemar Bonsels), the naive little bee, exploring the world around her, and, of course, Captain Future (based on SF-stories by Edmond Hamilton), who is travelling into deepest space and (nomen est omen) throughout time.

I have studied cultural studies and philosophy at the University of Bremen. I wrote my master thesis in cultural studies entitled "Popkulturelle Referenzen in der TV-Serie FUTURAMA". Now I am working freelance. In particular, I am teaching as an assisant lecturer at the university's department of German language & literature.
