My home is in Central Germany. I'm born in Riesa. Riesa is a small town between Dresden and Leipzig.

Riesa always had a large industry of spinning, steel production, a soap factory as well as a noodle factory. Also a place where matches were manufactured. Also factories for tires and toothpaste . There were several bases and barracks of the former Soviet Union Army. There is also a harbor in Riesa.

At the age of 12, I moved close to Meissen, then to Dresden when I was 17. From there to the Erzgebirge (a low mountain range in Saxony). After the reunification, for professional reasons, I went to Bavaria in 1994.
