Hello, dear postcard friends! 😊

I was born in August 1975 in Magdeburg, in the former East Germany (GDR). Today, Magdeburg is the capital of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt.

I am a police officer, and my work involves planning and approving traffic arrangements for roadworks and construction sites in my district. I previously worked as a shift leader at a police station.

For a time, I also worked as an archaeologist. Unfortunately, I no longer have enough time for it, but my fascination with history and the stories hidden beneath our feet has stayed with me.

I am also a volunteer firefighter with the Nienburg fire department, where I am qualified to drive large water tender fire engines.

Family means a great deal to me. I am the proud father of a 26-year-old son and a 22-year-old stepson — and now also a very proud grandfather to a wonderful two-year-old granddaughter! ❤️

For nine years, I have shared my life with the woman I love, who is now my fiancée. Over the past two years, we have taken on a new shared hobby: renovating and improving our house by the river. It keeps us busy, but it is a joy to create our home together, one project at a time.

Australia is my second home. I visit often and love its beautiful landscapes, wildlife and wide-open spaces. Nature is something I treasure, both close to home and on the other side of the world.

One of my favourite hobbies is collecting postcards from all over the world. Each card is a little window into another place, and I especially enjoy landscapes and city views. Show me the beauty of your hometown, your region or a place that means something to you!

Of course, any postcard you choose will be warmly welcomed. If you like, tell me a little about the place on the card, your everyday life or an interesting piece of local history. I would love to discover something about your corner of the world.

Please remember to add the date and the postcard ID.

Thank you for sending a little piece of your world to mine.

Happy Postcrossing! 🌍📮

My postcard wishlist 🌍📮

I especially love postcards showing:

• Cities, towns and villages — from famous skylines to charming little streets
• Landscapes and natural scenery, such as mountains, forests, rivers, lakes and coastlines
• Countries and regions — views that capture what makes your part of the world special
• Famous landmarks, historic buildings, castles and archaeological sites
• Australia — its cities, wildlife and beautiful landscapes hold a special place in my heart

I enjoy discovering the world through postcards, so a view of your hometown or a favourite place in your country would make me very happy.

These are just a few ideas — every postcard you choose is welcome and appreciated! 😊

Although I appreciate every card sent with kind thoughts, postcards featuring holidays or celebrations, religious themes, people or portraits, art or illustrations, animals, cartoons or advertising are less suited to my collection.

If possible, I would be happiest with a scenic postcard showing a real place — a city, village, landscape or landmark. Thank you for keeping my preferences in mind! 😊
