Yes, this Web Site doesn't only look like the past Millennium, it really is from that Era when there were no Social Networks because the early Internet itself was where the Web Avant-garde met, people who were still able to arrange with each other even without buyers protection, when SPAM has been mostly known as a Monty Python's joke, Google has been a Start-up competing against AltaVista.digital.com, Wikipedia was still some years away and Modems were too slow for Video anyway – pure Freedom, that's why I'm not gonna change this design any more.

When finishing my Law Education, shortly before failing to fend off illiberal attacks made this my former profession, at least I could return to my main topic the Freedom to develop and express one's Identity.

2000 an inverted © showing an inner core feeding an outer circle became my symbol for creative, intellectual and scientific Self Development. 2001 in Hamburg my framework of Förderverein für individuelles Werkschaffen could have become an early institution for what's known as Crowdfunding these days, but it took me until 2005 to found this association.
