With my family I left the great prison of Eastern Germany 1955. We started in the freedom of Western Germany a new life, without nothing and only with our own work.
Inge lived that time 25 years under dictatorship, by myself 30 years. Our goal was shaping of life in freedom without compare to neighbours.
We renounced for many things, which was in the believing of our
fellow-beings very necessary. Our appartement was set up over many years only with the really necessary things. We needed our money for ropes, ski, tents and some more and to travel in the mountains. Which
woman likes this kind of lifestyle?
Inge shared all this with me and she had fun. She was a exceptional woman. From a part of the many tours together you can take a look in the webpages. But
that’s not all. Many situations had been critical. Sometimes we survived only with luck. We got not only some demages. Also sometimes grind we had to survive. That all belonges to adventures, which we both
loved so much. It was Inges life-contents.
Anyway I don’t want nothing blanch over, there had been also disagreements between us. That’s normal. Many times cases coming from outside. The
necessary tolerance bridges many. Our marriage keeps 55 years, and before there are some more. Always again we went with much fun on tour together until the heavy sickness of Inge stops this life
together.
In her last days Inge told more than one time: "I had a nice life".Something nicer I can’t imagine from her. She loved her life until her last hour, even she was only able to
look from her balcony in direction of the Allgaeumountains.
One day before Inge died she memorized a well education for her granddaughter Angeline in the last telefoncall with her son. In the last days
she shows her true greatness and forgot nothing. Now her laugh is gone for ever. The following way I have to go alone without my beloved Inge.
