My name is Peter Silhengst. I am a diploma biologist. I have made my hobby to the profession so. If you are still young, you should do it as well. It is the surest guarantee for a happy and fulfilled life. Isn't it a fantastic idea to deal every weekday for eight hours with things which make fun and joy? I am 1943 born. Already with 3 to 4 years I brought along always new animals home. My parents were often in despair because of this. With 10 years I already had a little zoo. The fellow occupants weren't enthusiastically about my passion this one in Glauchau in our house. Because snakes (igittigitt) need mice and rats as food. Of course these animals were cultivated by me. But I have somehow made it again and again calm the feelings. With the cacti there were less worries. The windows refused only my mother to clean.

With an age of 14 years the question of the profession to the debate stood. However, I didn't want to become a zoo director. I wanted for me to build great greenhouses and Terraria later anyway. Therefore I learned the bricklayer profession. I have never regretted it, too. The biology studies came first after this. Look at my pages. Here you can see what I have reached. A lot of fun!

Still a word for the end. Such a hobby filling time and operated intensively is possible only with a loving, patient and well-informed woman at the side. I would like to thank my wife Anna quite warmly here for her patience, her love and her daily help. I also owe my friend Dr. Andreas Freytag. He gave me the courage still to occupy me with HTML in the age of 56 years. I as well owe my friend Otto Aurich, this one I already explained the world of the computers into the 80th. years. And what to beginning was whole. My teacher in my home town Glauchau is Dr. Johannes Schubert. Patience became with his help a grave scientific work us his great from my hobby. Many many thanks.
