In the 1980ies to 90ies Horst stood for bonsai in Germany. The bonsai
scene in Germany definitely would not be the same without him. Horst was
and excellent teacher and had thousands of student over the years. He
acted internationally, being in the USA often in the 90ies and to many
other places in the world. Horst was quite a character, a very nice and
gentle man. We will not forget him.
