Mark has lived in Munich for most of his life, were he graduated from LMU with a master’s degree in Modern and Contemporary History, Medieval History, and Political Science. He focused mainly on 18th century European cultural history and wrote his master’s thesis on the wig-wearing practices of the time. He worked for several years in the Bavarian State Library’s Digital Department, where he was involved in the digitisation of the library’s old texts - from medieval manuscripts and Chinese scrolls to early modern prints and Mozart’s letters. After a few years abroad in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, he returned to his home town and in early 2015 decided to turn his love of the city and its history into a full-time profession. He wants his tour guests to come away with not just memories of impressive sights (of which Munich has many) but with a better understanding of the city and its complicated history.
