Dear friends of Wikipedia,

something about me:

My youth I experienced in the beautiful old iron town of Steyr

later through self-taught studies

• Born in 1943
• Austrian
• Since 1963 in Munich
• At work, I was first a motor mechanic, later through self-taught studies a state-certified technician and ultimately technologist for new manufacturings engineering at a major car manufacturer in Bavaria.
• In February 2012, I started with small contributions, often with the kind support of helpful colleagues. With fondness I create geometric drawings in GeoGebra for example polygons as Compass-and-straightedge construction and approximations with minimum deviations from the nominal value.

On a continued good work for Wikipedia!
