Born in the isolated island of former West-Berlin I studied prehistoric archaeology, medieval and modern history as also art history at the Freie Universität in West-Berlin and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn (Westgermany). In 1991 I defended my doctoral thesis about the gravefinds of the carolingian period in Nordwestern Germany in Bonn and in 2002 my habitilitation thesis about the development and motivation of the weapon burial rite in graves from Northern Germany in the second till sixth century A.D. at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
After my studies I worked in archaeological enterprises and held lectures at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Eötvös-Loránd-University in Budapest and the UMCS in Lublin. In 2006 – 2009 I worked as professor at the Institute of Archaelogy of the UMCS Lublin and since 2011 I have this position at the University of Szczecin.
