About me

When I was a little boy in the mid-70s, I went to Taizé for the first time with my parents. The lasting memory I took back from there was not only the impressive bell tower but also a small scar from climbing on a pile of gravel.
The first time I really went to Taizé was in 1985, when I was 15. My father just threw me in at the deep end, I had no idea what to expect. That week in Taizé has shaped me ever since.
Now I am (almost) 50, I have "inherited" this shop from my father and have developed it further.
Taizé is still a place for me that gives me spiritual time out. I try to be there every 1-2 years.

Apart from that, music plays a big role in my life. You can find some of my CDs here in the shop.
Besides that, I am a photographer with my own photo studio in Mainz and organise workshops for music teachers.

And of course I don't want to forget my family. They support me in everything I do.
