Bringing History to Life – With Passion, Precision, and Performance: I am a professional historic interpreter and founder of EyeWitness – Historische Interpretationen, offering immersive, costumed first- and third-person storytelling at castles, museums, libraries, and historical sites across Europe.
My work blends academic expertise with theatrical methods to make the past tangible, emotional, and memorable for visitors of all ages. From medieval monks and Enlightenment architects to Napoleonic-era generals and ghost hunters, I embody real historical characters—based on in-depth research and authentic period dress—engaging audiences through dramatic narratives, improvisation, and visitor participation. Whether as a monk in a monastic murder mystery, a court chemist in an 18th-century apothecary, or a resurrected book author in a historic library, I create educational and entertaining experiences rooted in historical accuracy.
My services include:
Living History performances in museums and heritage sites
Theatrical interpretation of rare books and manuscripts
Educational storytelling for schools and special events
Museum theatre workshops and script development
First- and third-person costumed interpretation in German and English
With over 25 years of experience, collaborations with state heritage agencies, royal palaces, and international museums, and a background in theology, church history, and library science, I bring together rigorous scholarship and compelling performance. Let’s make your history come alive.
