Life

His first publication was the comic "Die Spielchen des Olymp" (2003), as an unofficial contribution to Hamburg's application to host the Olympic Games in 2012. He then published his first bilingual picture book in German and English about the Hamburg water carrier at Hamburg Toons Verlag in 2007 Christian Daniel Hummel . A year later, a child-friendly approach to Klaus Störtebeker followed . He lives and works in Hamburg .

Based on his bilingual picture book Der Wasserträger - The Water Carrier , Moellers developed a multilingual and intercultural reading in collaboration with the Goethe Institute , the Berlin Senate Administration and the Munich Cultural Office , which celebrated its premiere at the Academy of Arts in Berlin on September 18, 2009 . Children from Munich from six different cultures read the story of the Hamburg water carrier Hummel in their respective mother tongues, while the children from Hamburg mimicked the story and the SESB students in Berlin built and presented the scenes.

During the creation of his first book in 2006, Moellers developed the historical Hummel Tour , which shows the locations of Hamburg's culture and history in an informative and entertaining way .

He is currently working on his third book, which will also appear in German and English and which tells an unknown Hamburg story.
