Werner Schunk

Prof. Dr. Werner Schunk has traveled to more than 100 countries in his lifetime. His curiosity about people in other cultures, their way of life, and their art has repeatedly led him to board trains, cars, buses, airplanes, rickety helicopters, and the suspiciously light boats of the locals. He wanted to see with his own eyes how the indigenous people of Papua New Guinea, the Amazon, or Madagascar live, and always stayed for a while. Rich in impressions, insights, and the gratitude of the people, Read more [...]

Gerhard Uhlenbruck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQs7mm-g68Q Uhlenbruck's family wasn't supposed to know that their Gerd was running, because to them he was ill (sarcoidosis). So he chose Urbach's GSV Porz, a slightly out-of-town club, as his club. He has completed 36 marathons and a 100km race, which he ran on his birthday. Twice he finished the 42.195km in the age group 70. His personal best of 3:18 hours is astonishing considering his lung history. Once (1984), he even became German Marathon Champion Read more [...]

When he's out and about on weekends, he sometimes covers 100 kilometers in a day. His favorite ride is in the Bergisches Land region. "Cycling is a wonderful counterbalance to his medical career," he says. His workload at the anesthesiology practice where he works currently amounts to about 50 hours Read more [...]
