André with emotions, hope, future and travelling around the world
Hello!
Gratitude is what makes life rich.
My Book

My feelings, hopes, future...
These reflections give me both support and motivation. They help me to cope with difficult situations, to experience joy more intensely and to appreciate my life in its entirety. At the same time, they enable me to define my goals and priorities more clearly. It is an ongoing process that is shaped by both my present experiences and my past.
In my perception, life in its essence can be very simple. It is often the small moments that show me that true happiness lies not in complexity but in simplicity. A smile, a ray of sunshine, a kind word – all these help to ensure that even in difficult times, hope and confidence endure. This simplicity gives my life peace, clarity and meaning.

André - Part 5 - The one who looks back and smiles
Sometimes I sit there – in my armchair on the terrace, a blanket over my legs, a cup of tea in my hand – and think back. Not because I want to hold on to everything, but because I like to smile. Because when I look at my life, I see a collection of stories, experiences and encounters that no one...

I have achieved a lot in my life. I have been on the road – professionally, privately, politically. I was loud when I had to be. I was quiet when listening was more important. I have seen cities, managed projects, been part of stories that others may never know. And yet, when I look back today, it is...
Read More...From parents‘ representative to state parents’ representative - a life for education policy
Sometimes something big starts with a very simple request. My wife at the time asked me one day if I could become the parents' representative for our daughter. I had had little contact with school politics up until then, but I agreed. It seemed like a manageable task - a bit of organisation, a few...
Read More...Ilse and I – Between Restlessness and Intimacy
Ilse turned up as if she had never been missing, and that was really a very pleasant feeling. Without notice, without big words. She was just there, and that was really very nice. Like a train that only stops briefly at the station before continuing on its way. Her bicycle was leaning against the...
Read More...Anna – Forever My (Step-)Daughter
Anna has been a very special part of my life from the very beginning. When I first met her, she was still in nursery school. Small, cheerful, full of curiosity – with that open, intelligent gaze that already understood so much without having to say a word. Her parents travelled a lot; her mother...
Read More...Between Paris and architecture – an office full of life and love
I thought she was from Sweden. Those blonde hairs, those light eyes, that calm, clear nature – everything screamed Scandinavia! But then she said she was from Germany. I was amazed. And immediately lost. We met on Interrail. Two young people travelling, two backpacks and a train compartment –...
