WHY is the WOOD MEAN?

GEMEIN means COMMON or ORDINARY in german - synonymous for ordinary and also local wood.

GEMEIN means also gnarled, stubborn, knotty, resinous, rotten or rock-hard.

I mostly use fallen wood of any condition. So sometimes the wood is not just ordinary common, but also mean.

I don't need a lot of material for my work. I usually find this in sufficient quantities and in great variety in Stuttgart and the surrounding area.

As a botanist who has been active in evolutionary research for a long time, I attach great importance to diversity and sustainability.

My main means of transport and transportation is my blue e-cargo bike. This means I can always collect wood wherever it falls.

Living and working sustainably is what defines me.
