I have been married to a South Korean woman for more than 35 years. I studied history and the German literatur in the 1980s. That was also when I developed a passion for collecting ancient coins and visiting archaeological sites across Europe.I am a trained chef and enjoy cooking international dishes at home, which I like to share with good friends from time to time.I take an interest in politics and am active in the peace movement. I stand against all forms of radicalism and antisemitism. My circle of acquaintances includes some members of the Jewish community of Bochum.Shalom Aleichem
