About me

Political Scientist
Dr. phil.
born 1974
I have been living in Brussels with my family since 2004 and the city is now my home. Since 2016 I work as a guide. Previously, as a political scientist with a doctorate, I taught at universities in Trier and Leuven.
In 2023 my non-fiction book was published: Monumental: Macht und Architektur in Brüssel, an architecture history of Brussels. This was followed by a novel set in Brussels in 2025: Nimmerleinstage.
And since I can't seem to get enough of Brussels, I've also walked every street in the city. It took me four years, 567 walks and 2.900km.
