Connection to Rhineland-Palatinate

“In March 1989, my family moved to Rhineland-Palatinate, and I spent my formative years there until 2009, including my childhood, youth, and education. This period had a decisive influence on my personality and memories and remains an important part of my life story. My connection to Rheinland-Pfalz continues through my mother. Growing up in a reunified Germany – a period of transition that has shaped me as a person and my way of thinking.”
