My name is Carsten. I was born in northern Germany in 1963, but have since lived in many German states between Hamburg and Weilheim in Upper Bavaria. I have also spent time abroad in Austria and Italy. I studied political science, modern history/economic and social history and public law. I completed my doctorate in political science with a dissertation on the party system of the GDR. After three positions in university and non-university research institutions, I switched to corporate communications in 2001, where I was primarily responsible for press relations for Austrian and German medium-sized family businesses. Since 2013, I have been doing this as a freelancer. On Wikipedia, too, I am primarily interested in such medium-sized companies, based in Germany, in order to help ensure that they are represented in this encyclopaedia with up-to-date entries.
