Some information about myself:

Originally from the city of Mainz, where I was born in 1970, I passed my Abitur a little less than twenty years later at the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium, Weinheim. My main subjects were English and Latin, which prepared me for a career in English language studies with specific interest in the past stages. English Linguistics became one of my subsidiary subjects at the University of Heidelberg, with Archaeology and Egyptology being my other choices. My increasing interest in England, in particular the medieval period, led me to join a BA course in Medieval Studies at the University of Manchester in 1993, which I passed successfully three years later. In 1996, I joined Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge, where I took a Master's degree in preparation for my doctorate in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. My particular interest during that time was in Old English manuscripts of the twelfth century. I was awarded a PhD degree at the Congregation of 24th February 2001. From 2001 to 2007 I was working in the wider field of English Historical Linguistics as a Wissenschaftlicher Assistent to Prof. H. J. Neuhaus at the University of Münster, for example, on the Shakespeare Database project, and on my habilitation treatise on historical lexicology. I was awarded a venia legendi in English Philology and became Privatdozent on 14 July 2008. Since 1st October 2006 I have represented the Lehrstuhl for Mediävistik at University of Göttingen.
