Resume

Born in Bamberg, I studied architecture and urban planning in Stuttgart. After several successful years at a planning firm, during which I was involved in many successful urban planning competitions and projects, I passed the second state examination in Munich to become a government-certified architect specializing in building construction.
I then began my career in local government with the City of Erlangen, working in the Röthelheimpark project group and as a department head in the City Planning Office. My move to Bamberg as head of the City Planning Office also involved taking on special projects such as the 2012 State Garden Show and the conversion of industrial sites. Starting in 2013, as head of the Office for Strategic Development and Conversion, I served as a project developer for the city, guiding the conversion of these sites toward a transformation and marketing strategy compatible with urban needs, and, among other things, established the new 21-hectare Lagarde Campus neighborhood as a nationally recognized and subsidized energy model neighborhood with 75% renewable energy generation within the neighborhood.
I head the Planning and Construction Division, which includes the Office of Building Management, the Office of Urban Planning and Mobility, the Building Inspection Office, and the Civil Engineering Office. At the same time, the division carries out special tasks and serves as a liaison to various planning associations, clubs, and organizations. We serve as points of contact and advisors for strategically relevant inquiries and see ourselves as a municipal partner for issues related to the areas mentioned above.
