Life

Feustel was the child of the writer couple Ingeborg Feustel and Günther Feustel . After completing the extended secondary school , Feustel actually wanted to study German and art history . After a year of unsuccessful waiting, he began studying mathematics at the Humboldt University in Berlin . After completing his diploma thesis and completing his research studies with Rolf-Peter Holzapfel in 1980, Feustel moved to the GDR Academy of Sciences in the research group "Algebraic Geometry and Number Theory". One of Feustel's main research areas was the arithmetic uniformity theory.

Since Feustel was only offered a short-term position after the transfer of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences in 1992, he ended his mathematical work and turned to his second area of ​​interest, the Berlin-Brandenburg regional history.

He appeared as an author and science journalist with a focus on church building and church history and numerous publications. Feustel also became known through numerous expert tours through Berlin and the surrounding area.

Feustel was a member of the State Historical Association for the Mark Brandenburg e. V. as well as founding and board member of the Otto Bartning-Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kirchenbau (OBAK) .

From 1994 he worked closely with the Heimatmuseum Friedrichshain , especially with regard to its exhibition activities. The exhibitions " Wilhelmine Smile " (1994), "Robbery and Murder in the Kiez" (1996), "Brewed and Drunk - Friedrichshain Brewery History" (1998), "The East Side Gallery " (1999), "Friedrichshain Settlement and City History" (2000), “Disappeared Friedrichshain” (2001), “On water and rails - Friedrichshainer Verkehrswege” (2001), for example, bear his signature.

He advised the museum and published articles on several exhibitions in the Berlin monthly journal of the Luisenstädtischer Bildungsverein .
