We are Deborah and Peter Menger, and we met in a choir in 1995. It’s only fitting that we’ve been making music together for many years. We perform in choirs, bands, other vocal ensembles, and as a duo in Germany and internationally. For the past 12 years, we’ve enjoyed making music together, especially with our four children.
Since 2016, we have been leading the Hüttenberg Children’s Choir together with a great team and a fantastic manager. Around 120 children meet there weekly to sing our children’s songs together and prepare for upcoming musicals and concerts. (Choir rehearsals are on Mondays at 5:30 p.m. at the Evangelical Free Congregation in Hüttenberg-Hochelheim. During the coronavirus pandemic, we meet at a safe distance on the sports field behind the parish hall. Due to limited space, we ask that you register for events on the EFG website.)
In addition, we are involved in church services and events in the surrounding communities and in the work of the association sdg (soli deo gloria) e.V.
Michael Lobisch-Delija, born in 1952 in Dannenrod, Hesse, and attended high school in Darmstadt, studied medicine at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen from 1970 to 1976. After completing his military service as a military doctor and completing specialist training, he became a senior physician at the Institute of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Darmstadt Hospital in 1984. In 1986, he moved into clinical research and the development of drugs for pain and other chronic diseases.
He wrote his first poems in 1995. These were initially published online on various guest websites, and since 2005, he has also been published in various anthologies. MLD lives and works in the Wetterau region.
His lyrical work is currently divided into five cycles entitled “Emphasis,” “Gaya,” “Kronos,” “Blood,” and “Eros,” which explore the central aspects of human existence.
His poetry collection NACHTWENDE (ISBN: 978-3-942384-05-6, triboox Verlag) was published in February 2011.
NACHTWENDE
Independent Publication
The poems from 1995 to 2010 are thematically divided into five cycles (Vita, Gaia, Kronos, Blood, and Eros). They are straightforward poetry, which precisely for this reason evokes strong visual associations in the reader and, despite its relative fluidity, is not free of oppressive elements. After an occasionally laconic beginning in the familiar here and now, the shift to another world can occur suddenly and be disturbing, or unfold a special charm through a skillful punchline at the end. Sometimes one has to read between the lines and understand what appears to be harmless; stylistic elements such as enjambments and playful “going against the grain” are used supportively but casually. Exaggerated clauses are deliberately avoided in favor of vivid metaphors, as this would impair comprehensibility; clarity and depth should take priority.
I’ve been taking photographs since I was 14. Main subjects: People in their environment; symmetries; architecture and other geometries; seafood; travel photography. I work with an SLR (Contax), 28mm f/2 & 100mm f/2, preferably under available light conditions. I digitize my films/negatives with a Microtek FilmScan (2700 dpi), and post-process them with Photoshop Elements or Photomatix Pro (HDRI images). Additional images are taken with a Panasonic Lumix FZ28 or Sony Alpha 77V digital camera.
