About  Me

My path led me from being an archivist and historian to a consultant for atmosphere and emotional staging. As an archivist, I spent seven years running a municipal archive, connecting thousands of people with their local history and pioneering new projects like weekly social media posts and historical contests for students.

Along the way, I learned how to make complex subjects come alive on stage and in front of a camera. I’ve performed as a speaker and singer and I’m just as comfortable in front of a crowd as I am with a single person.

My fascination with English culture and how memories are staged was sparked by my Midsomer Murders passion project MidsomerMurdersHistory.org.

And yes: I’m also a former football historian (see nachspielzeiten.de) who worked with the DFB and The IFAB.

What I Do

Narrative Concepts for Theatre and Film.
I work on the story behind the story, so the plot isn’t just told, it’s experienced. It’s about creating an atmosphere that makes the audience feel part of a time travel. Because, like the Romantics and Impressionists, I believe facts are the foundation, but some things can only be felt, not known.

Scenography for Heritage Sites.
I help create places that aren’t just visited, but feel like they are part of a remembered world. From managing a city archive to single-handedly running the Villa am Rupertsberg, I know how to bring a historical place to life for its visitors.

Consulting for Cultural Projects.
I provide workshops and guidance to help your team learn how to tell stories with atmosphere and emotional depth.

 

Work With Me

I believe history is more than a list of facts and dates. It’s about feelings and moods that linger. Let’s create an atmosphere that truly stays with people.
