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.
