WELCOME TO THE ENGLISH SECTION OF MY WEBSITE!

It presents interpretations of literary works and is still in its infancy, but is set to grow.

My name is Gert Hans Wengel, and I was born in Nuremberg in 1958. I grew up in that city, and attended the Neues Gymnasium Nürnberg, a grammar school specialising in humanities, where the classic languages Latin and Greek are taught as the basis of European culture.

I have lived in Cologne since 1978, where I took Slavic studies (majoring in Russian literature), German studies, and History. I obtained a Masters degree in 1987, and started my dissertation on Soviet author Yuri Trifonov, though I was unable to complete this due to personal and professional differences with my two doctoral supervisors.
