Child of the reunification era.
Born 1979 behind the Berlin Wall, grew up between two political systems. At home in Mühlhausen, Thuringia since 1988, with his Abitur (university-entrance qualification) finished there in 1998.
What shaped that generation now shapes the tool: pragmatism over pathos, self-reliance over full coverage, the lived knowledge that nothing is given and everything can be rebuilt - twice if needed.
