Life

In 1968, he was the only one of 220 apprentices to refuse to sign a resolution that welcomed the suppression of the " Prague Spring " as a "suppression of the counterrevolution". His application to study mathematics was therefore rejected by the TU Dresden because of “socio-political immaturity” . In 1970 he began to study theology in Jena , but was de-registered for refusing to serve in the arms . From 1970 to 1971 he worked as a stage technician at the Stadttheater Jena and from 1971 to 1977 he was able to study theology again at the church universities in Naumburg , Leipzig and Berlin .
