allow me to begin by telling you a little about my
profession and my passion for timepieces.
I have been a fireman for more than 19 years, and
it’s not just an occupation but a vocation for me.
I began my career in 1991 as a mid-level civil
servant with the fire-fighting services in Bochum,
where I received training as a fire chief. I
logged several thousand hours of emergency
service and gained extensive experience while
also participating in ongoing educational
programmes. I was trained as a paramedic,
group leader and finally, in the year 2003, as a fire
inspector and was promoted to the upper grade
of the civil service. subsequently I was made chief
guard, head of the fire-fighters school and safety
coordinator. I authored mission concepts and risk
assessments and was responsible for organising
and supervising the training programme for new
candidates for the fire brigade. since I transferred
to the hattingen fire department I have primarily
served as head of operations, responsible for
coordination and consulting on safety issues as
