“This is my world,” says the 57-year-old Zeitz and shows on the big shelves.
roofers working passionately fond of the restaurant ring project of the library
The project has been running since last year. It is only now that the valuable schedel’sche world returned to the chronicle in the library of the United Domstifter to Merseburg and Naumburg and of collegiate Church Zeitz. In the presentation of Bernd Gerd Winter was of course. “I’m doing all the paperwork, run register, take care of the Transport of the books and take care of what is needed,” he says. He speaks and you notice the enthusiasm for what he does.
What we hardly can imagine: Winter is a professional roofer. He tells how he was able to exercise the profession for health reasons. Asthma and problems with the spine forced him to rethink. He was then first as a janitor in day-care centres operate. His real vocation, he was then in 2017. Because of the large special exhibition “dialogue of confessions – Bishop Julius Pflug, and the Reformation opened in Zeitz”.
Zeitzer is not working for the first Time in the library rooms
it was at that time offered, he thought a Moment and not regret it. So he was there for the first Time in a measure in the Domstiftern, worked well and felt comfortable. With the exception of the exhibition, he has worked also in the Library, Organize the books. Since then, I have changed a lot. He shows his hands in white gloves.
“When we started here with the books, because the gloves were after a short time already black. Madness! Now everything here is clean!“ His entry was more of a coincidence, as his work has been guided in the restoration project, specifically in the way. “This Time, I was asked whether I had interest to join in,” he says, and makes his pleasure it is no secret.
Zeitz burns for his work
“of course, I said Yes immediately. I just feel here well, it all fits, I’m also always on. You learn all the time. It is a hit for me.“ Besides, he clearly gets on well with people. With books also. Winter burns for his work. “I know to the point that the book needs to go now, which is where, coming back when and where it is on the shelf.”
of Course, the know-it-Jochen Säckl, the project Manager! But the must take care of finally, many other important Details. Because it is good, if someone has the Overview. Jochen Säckl smiles. “Not only that, but Mr Winter is the best word-of-mouth for the Abbey library. He told everywhere in Zeitz of it!“ (mz)
