Life

Jörg H. Trauboth was born in Königs Wusterhausen (near Berlin) during the Second World War in 1943 as the third of five children. In 1945 the family fled to the British occupation zone . His father, the doctor of medicine Helmut Trauboth, settled there in the same year as a general practitioner and obstetrician in Wewelsburg , Büren district and in 1956 in Bielefeld . Jörg H. Trauboth first attended secondary school in Bielefeld and graduated from the Friedrich von Bodelschwingh School in Bethel in 1965 . For almost 30 years, Trauboth worked as an active soldier for the German Armed Forces, including as a weapons system officer on phantom and tornado machines. He completed the general staff course in Hamburg-Blankenese and the NATO Defense College in Rome. At the NATO headquarters he represented Germany in the field of intelligence and crisis management. After Trauboth quit his job prematurely at the age of 50, he was trained as a Special Risk Consultant in international crisis management by the London company Control Risks Group and deployed to "deal with blackmail and kidnapping situations in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and Russia."

In the late 1990s he founded Trauboth Risk Management GmbH in Sankt Augustin and subsequently also worked as a crisis advisor for affected families at the “Federal Government when German citizens were abducted abroad.” He was also President of the European Academy for Crisis & Management in Vienna. Trauboth is known to a wider audience as a TV expert in international crisis situations for Phoenix and various regional broadcasters of the ARD .

He used his knowledge and experience as a global crisis manager in a specialist book on the subject of crisis management in companies published by Boorberg Verlag in 2002 , of which a comprehensively revised new edition was published in 2016 with the co-authorship of other specialists, and of which Trauboth is the editor. In 2015 his first novel was published, the political thriller Three Brothers , a docu-fiction about Islamist terror that reflects his experiences in a fictional setting. In 2018 the novel was published in a revised edition and in an English translation. In March 2019, Operation Jerusalem was followed by his second novel as a sequel to The Three Brothers and in February 2020 with Omega, the third volume of the trilogy.

Jörg Trauboth lives near Bonn with his wife, with whom he has two sons and three grandchildren. He is a volunteer emergency chaplain in Bonn / Rhein-Sieg and a member of the crisis intervention team (KIT) of the Foreign Office at the Bonn Fire Brigade.
