Dear friends of Wikipedia,
something about me:
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!
