Study of Biochemistry

From autumn 1983 to January 1989 I studied Biochemistry at 3 Universities in Hannover (Technische Hochschule, Tieraerztliche Hochschule, Medizinische Hochschule). After 2 years I passed my "Vordiplom" (kind of BSc) in Physics, Anorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Zoology and Botany. (Certificate).

In January 89 I passed the Diplom (equivalent to MSc) in the subjects Biochemistry, Biophysics and Zoology. (Certificate)

Teacher at the German School in Rome

From 1993 to 1998 I gave lessons in Biology, Chemistry and later also Computer Science at the German School in Rome.
I taught students from the 6th grade to the 12th grade.
I also organized the information systems of the school.

Research Fellow at the "Istituto Superiore di Sanità", Rome.

Scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

During 1987/1988 I was working at the "Istituto Superiore di Sanità" in Rome in the Laboratory of Compared Toxicology and Ecotoxicology with a Scholarship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD, The research was about Chloroform metabolism in rats and mice. Some of this was also published

Manager of the "marketing group" of the "Wendland Cooperative"

I acted as Manager of the marketing group of the "Wendland Cooperative", a cooperative of farmers with the aim of directly marketing agricultural products to consumers. (A variety of agricultural products, produced with methods which excluded use of toxic or persistent pesticides and some types of mineral fertilizers). It confirmed my opinion that the difference in food is not between "conventional" and "biological", but between "high quality" and low quality".

Kavernenbau und Betriebs GmbH

After a short and stressful time in Essen,Bochum, Dortmund, Gelesenkirchen and Witten, I ended up in Hannover at the Kavernbau and Betriebs GmbH. For nearly 3 years I analyzed waters and calculated the progress in constructing caverns in the salt. (Certificate)

Apprenticeship as a Laboratory Technician

From 1976 to 1979 I worked as an apprentice at the Company Walter Rau in Hilter. Also in this case the company tried to fire me after 3 months, but I successfully won the trial and I had to be reinstalled. I finished successfully and got the title of a "Chemielaborant".

Walter Rau produced fats and other foods. I was working in food analysis and I learned a lot about food ingredients and contaminants. (I learned specifically how little our food is contaminated....)

Factory Worker in different factories in Osnabrueck

1 day after my "Abiturpruefung" I started working at the "Kloeckner" steel factory in Osnabrueck, where I stayed 7 months; for further 2 years I was working in various factories, mostly fired quickly, because of political activities.

Highschool

In 1965 In was enroled at the "Gymnasium Carolinum" at Osnabrueck, 1 of the 2 oldest High Schools in Germany, presumably founded by emperor CharleMagne himself. I started in the classical branch with Latin and Greek and changed later to the linguistic branch to learn also some English.

Despite of having spent much more time in "fighting capitalism" instead of learning something useful at school, I obtained successfully my "Abitur" in May 1973.
