After the training at the University of Applied Sciences Gießen (since 01.03.2011 THM Gießen) I have once made a holiday. My girlfriend and I were in former Yugoslavia. First we stayed in the tent of my club. Then we drove on over the Croatian peninsula to the area around Plitvice. From here was then spent in a pension. The Winnetou and other Karl May films were filmed in this area in the 1960s. The lakes are very clean and not a bit salty like the seawater. When I started at Bosch TV GmbH in Darmstadt on 1 December 1983 my friend gave me shelter in Frankfurt at the Richard-Wagner-Str. 5 for 8 weeks. This was a room with bunk toilet and bunk-bath. Then in early February I moved into my own room in the Adelungstrasse 16in Darmstadt. That was pretty close to the Luisenplatz and the Luisencenter including the Darmstädter pedestrian zones. It was also interesting that in Adelungstrasse a nightclub called LOPO was. The nightclub I noticed at my first tour already at the entrance. An old tram served as access and in the facade a 2CV duck was walled in. In any case, the TV-free evenings were already secured. But we also visited the  Mathildenhöhe and the Woog. However, the parking problem  was huge in the city center. Sometimes I waited almost 30 minutes for a free seat. T wo days a week I went to Frankfurt to my former girlfriend, so a long-distance relationship (20km(12miles).  On the weekends it was always home (Weilburg), wash the clothes (leave). I sometimes f elt like a student living in a dorm. The minimalist is happy about that. After a few months it was clear that we wanted to move together. After a few apartments in Frankfurt and Dreieich, we settled in Egelsbach  Thüringer Str. 16. A community with its own airfield. It took us about a year to renovate and furnish the apartment (we are not exactly the fastest). From Egelsbach you could explore the area very nice by bike. In the summer we went to the Prince of Hesse pit between Darmstadt and Dieburg. There it costs no entrance. There are only lawn, water and a snack. There were no sanitary facilities. I'm pretty sure I got my Helicopacter pylori there. We were even more often on vacation or flown. The destinations were Greece, Netherlands, Israel, France Northern Germany and a short trip to Denmark (Legoland at Billund). One year there were holidays on Balkonien with almost daily cinema visit in a Darmstadt program cinema. Was not much cheaper in the end but also nice. After we lived in Egelsbach for 4 years, we parted ways. I then moved back to Weilburg to my parents. From now on it was a carpool every day from Weilburg to Darmstadt and back. Interestingly enough, I was at work with the first colleagues in the morning. It's no wonder, if you leave at 5:50 am in Weilburg. Then you are usually at 7:10 clock in Darmstadt entrance. To the time is the highway (A3) pretty empty.

In January 1995, I was with a girlfriend in the Dominican Republic. The two weeks went by as always too fast. But enjoying January sunbathing on Cabarete beach and sampling the many varieties of drinks was fine. In the year I made my third canoe trip from Weilburg / Lahn down to Villmar. Luckily we had very good weather on Saturdays. However, the traffic jam at the lock at Kirschhofen was already pre-programmed. So the years passed like in flight. In autumn 2017, I decided to offer advice on creating a website. Above all, I wanted to offer older people who have something to tell a possibility with less intensive access to the Internet to share their experiences with others. The whole thing would have turned out to be a lot of work, so I decided to write the series primarily for radio amateurs and good friends.And today we are writing December 2017. The next turn of the year is definitely coming. Maybe I can find the time to tell you more about me and my experiences. (Does that have to be?). Then at some point CORONA came and so I had a lot of time to write the page. I will definitely try to add something new every 8 weeks. The next turn of the year (2021-2022) will definitely come.Maybe I can find the time to tell you more about me and my experiences. (Does that have to be?).
