My birth place was

family lived in Elsfleth

The
Weser river: a sea ship is going to Bremen.
|
| When I was 11 YO, my family relocated to
Bremen (Google
maps). After
having been a sailor (officer and captain), my father became a pilot on the Weser
river.
So it was much more convenient for him and his family living in Bremen whose port was the
starting point of his pilot jobs: giving the correct course for the ships leaving or
coming to Bremen.

In Bremen I got to
know the theatre of Peter Zadek, a very famous German stage director, and the playing of
Bruno Ganz who had come from Switzerland, Edith Clever, and some other
actors. I joined a
dramaturgical workshop, lead by Thomas Valentin (author of play "Die
Unberatenen"), in 1965/66. |

 Bremerhaven: on the left side the mouth of the Geeste river. The white house with
a red roof, at the path to the mole, is the residence of the Weser pilots in Bremerhaven.
The Weser river curves from 8 hours and is floating to 11
hours.

Low tide: Fedderwardersiel
at the left side of the mouth of Weser river. On the opposite side: the
container terminal of Bremerhaven.
