Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger

Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger was born into a family of doctors in Stuttgart (southern Germany) on July 21, 1961, the fifth of six sons. The author, family man, craftsman, autodidact, inventor and entrepreneur attended one kindergarten, 10 schools, countless countries and 2 East German prisons. Released to Baden-WĂ¼rttemberg after 341 days of miserable food (on Friday, November 13, 1987), Christoph taught himself computer-aided drawing. He first freelanced for the IBM chip factory and then for the sports car fanatic architect Bernd Frank. After he managed to finance his parents' property, Christoph founded his own residential construction company in 1995, which was hit hard by the global financial crisis 13 years later (2008), whereupon he lost everything except the old villa that belonged to him and his second great love Dorothee. After his divorce, Christoph found his first great love Suzanne on the internet and flew to New Zealand to meet her in August 2015. And yes, it is true love! Six months later, Christoph has a little more time again and begins to write down his story ...

By now nine years in New Zealand, the last six years Christoph slept, worked and cooked in his camper, he closed his book again at the end of September 2024 to fly towards his two sons Adrian and Leon with his dog Rosie. Somewhere between New Zealand and Germany, he wants to start the first chapter of his serialised novel, in order to continue it elsewhere, because he was abandoned by all evil spirits when he was released from prison and is therefore only afraid of overcrowded letterboxes.
