A Lifelong Connection to Marbella
Born and raised in northern Germany, my connection to the Costa del Sol began in childhood. Since the early 1970s my family has owned a house in Marbella East, and for the first twenty years of my life I spent every school holiday here. Germany was where I went to school — Marbella was where I felt at home. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family in the fashion industry, I learned early to take responsibility, recognise opportunity and think commercially. In the mid-1990s I acted on what I had always known and founded my own property company in Marbella.
