About me

Welcome to my homepage!

As a qualified freight forwarding and logistics specialist, transport specialist, training instructor and freelance lecturer, I have gained a great deal of experience in the field of freight forwarding and logistics. I learned about the work processes and tools required for maintenance and repairs via various skilled manual tasks in the car and lorry sector, in the freight forwarding company's own workshop and during the construction of my parents' house.

While training, I noticed that the range of specialist technical dictionaries in these fields was very limited and not suitable for everyday use. Through my work in adult education, I became increasingly aware of the importance of a relevant specialist dictionary series.

I started my collection of technical terms during my training in an international freight forwarding company in 2004. I have been translating my technical vocabulary for daily English correspondence since that time. This prompted me to write my own English/German specialist dictionary series. I have been able to gain an ample amount of practical experience as a result of my experience abroad and my professional activities in procurement, warehousing and distribution logistics, in system and groupage transport, transport scheduling and from my technical background. This experience and the resulting expertise have been incorporated into my dictionaries.

Having a book for everyday situations in which German technical terms can be easily found and subsequently used is really important to me.

My principle is: 'Words travel around the world and connect people'.

Words form sentences; the sentences form texts and are the foundation of communication.

Whether spoken or written.

This specialist dictionary series will help you expand your general German vocabulary and improve your technical German for work in a global economy. Worldwide communication is essential in the world today, and basically a prerequisite for everyday life, work, school, studies, etc.

I’m glad of any and all feedback, whether praise, criticism, suggestions or comments, so please feel free to shoot me a message!

5.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables your use of our website to be analysed.

Demographic characteristics​
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can use this to generate statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you would like to stop the cross-device analysis, you can disable the "Personalised advertising" function in the settings of your Google account. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en Google Signals at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en

6) Page functionalities

6.1 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service that shows interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical information. Using this service shows you our location which will make it easy for you to find us.

Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there when you access the sub-pages in which Google Maps is integrated; this information may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged into a user account provided by Google or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your Google profile, you will need to log out before enabling the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them.

The collection, storage and analysis are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR based on Google's legitimate interest in showing personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to your data being transmitted to Google in future in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. You will then be unable to use Google Maps and therefore also the map display on this website.

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the option described above for making an objection.

6.2 Google Web Fonts

This site uses web fonts from the following provider for the standardised display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. During this process, specific browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data as part of establishing a connection with the font provider is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service using the cookie consent tool provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

6.3 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses Google Fonts, i.e. fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google, for the visual design of the Captcha window. There is no processing of information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality.

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f ) GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
