Beyond the work

Bernhard lives in the Salzkammergut. He thinks a lot, fixes things and reads widely without a plan. He is interested in people who take ideas seriously and do not take themselves too seriously.

This section collects books, music, repair projects and the small interests that continue outside professional life.
