“He was born on a ship, a Dutch Tjalk called“ Guteonse ”, which lay on the Möllner Ziegelsee. He spent his childhood on board. Around 50 years later he had the idea of ​​telling the sinking of the Pamir as a big television film: a dramatic story from the early Federal Republic, the economic miracle Germany, at the same time the end of the dream of freedom and adventure on the high seas, a seafaring romance that came with the Pamirs went down.
