Before being 2 years in Australia the Cold War was at it’s height and the Berlin Wall was put up. Any idea of going back to Berlin was impossible.

On our first holiday we went to Sydney. There Hartmut was offered a scholarship for a one year Teachers College course to become a teacher. So we moved to Sydney. We found a very nice place to rent in Balgowlah near Manly.

And being a teacher was a long and rewarding career for Hartmut. 

In 1962 our daughter Kristina was born and in 1965 our daughter Cati. We were a happy family.
