My work has taken me to fascinating places, introduced me to a wide variety of cultures and given me countless memorable encounters. As a lecturer aboard expedition ships, I share my passion for history and the many fascinating connections between people, cultures and landscapes with my guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">Yet, much as I love travelling, there is one place I always return to: <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#6b6357\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Cologne<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">Cologne has been my adopted home for almost 30 years. A city that gradually found its way into my heart and has long since become my home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">I love its eventful history, its magnificent churches and art treasures, its museums and lively Veedel. I am fond of its quirks and contradictions, its hidden corners and its distinctive rhythm. And I cherish that special Cologne way of life that goes far beyond the cathedral, the Rhine and Carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">Even after all these years, I am still discovering new things, coming across unexpected stories and seeing familiar places in a different light. Perhaps it is this endless curiosity that continues to rekindle my enthusiasm for Cologne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.49), 19px);\">I combine this personal connection to the city with in-depth historical and cultural knowledge. I completed the official city guide training programme at K\u00f6lnTourismus and am a certified tour guide with the German Association of Tourist Guides (BVGD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/koelnstories.de\/en\/meine-philosophie\/\" style=\"color:#6b6357;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.196), 16px);\">My Philosophy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geschichten erz\u00e4hlen.
