  • I am the son of Helga and Walter Philippkowski, born in 1954. My sister Sylvia was born in 1958. I was the first member of my and my wife’s families to successfully complete a University degree and now have 2 degrees. My 3 children (Helga and Walter’s grandchildren) also completed university degrees and are happily married with 2 children each.
