You have decided to visit my internet site: I want to thank you for this descision. This site has been given a new polish in may 1997. Most importantly it is the old picture of me, which is a result of an ambush with a video camera in the laboratories of our university, which is being replaced by a new one produced by me especially for this occasion. The second new feature is this secondary homepage with it´s more international flair. I must apologize for the fact that all following pages are just accessible in my native language, in German. If there are any questions, you can contact me at the e-mail address given below.

On this page you can get information about following items:

Of course this items can never give a full picture of my motivations, interests or aims. To be exact: They can´t even give a raw scetch. I ask of you to keep this in mind when you continue reading this.

Private Corner

As a first bridge between chemistry and some aspects of my private life I would like to put my finger on a verse by Rainer Maria Rilke . It is called - translated - "The Alchemist". Please don´t expect a translation from me - not even one which got no rhymes in it.

Of course I stand here in front of you as a whole person - that is a little bit more than just a scientific career. I won´t turn my most inside out at this point, and I don´t loose myself into the illusion to give a representative survey of my person. On this point I give some links I like to share with you.

I don´t want to manipulate anyone by forcing my personal preferences onto her/him. Therefore I would much more to give the links to my mostly beloved search engines, whose help the kind recipient may call up to serve ones own aims and inclinations.
