I was born and raised in Leipzig/ (East) Germany. I lived in Michigan the past 6 years and I recently returned to Germany to work on my Dissetation in Political Science. I am naturally very interested in Politics. This blog is called "Aufbau Ost" because this is my main interest in politics - the (re-)construction of East Germany - politically and economically. However I am interested in many other political subjects as well. My second passion is photography.
