Life
Feuerstein's parents moved with him to Hesse, where he graduated from a comprehensive school. At the beginning of the 1970s he sympathized with the extra-parliamentary opposition . In 1972 he wanted to join the German Communist Party . His father talked him out of this, however, because he himself was a scout for the HVA, which he now revealed to his son. Membership in the DKP would have put him in danger.

On behalf of the MfS he became a member of the Junge Union Hessen, and in 1976 - during his military service - he was deputy spokesman for the Defense Policy Working Group of the CDU North Hesse.

Feuerstein studied aerospace engineering in West Berlin and then worked as a graduate engineer at Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm in Ottobrunn , where assemblies for combat aircraft such as the Tornados and Eurofighters were built for NATO countries and the final assembly of combat aircraft for the Air Force and the Germans Navy were carried out. Most recently he was responsible for security .
After German reunification and its exposure in October 1990, Feuerstein was sentenced by the Bavarian Supreme Court in 1992 to eight years ' imprisonment. Halfway through his prison term, he was released on parole in 1994 and works as a patent reporter .
He first became a member of the PDS , later the DKP . In addition, he joined the German Freethinkers Association and the initiative group Scouts of Peace demand law . In addition, he regularly gives lectures on his espionage activities and publishes in various left-wing media, including a. for the young world and our time .
