Do you want to know how wonderful our world really is: Read more Natural Science books!
Born on 2.12.1943 near Berlin, Rosemarie (Rosie), née Berg, grew up in the Taunus Mountains near Wiesbaden, in Fischbach.
She studied Romance Languages - Latin, French and Spanish - in Paris, Munich, Frankfurt and Saskatoon (Canada) and took language courses at Seville at Unisa. The languages came very handy during her travels. Languages: Afrikaans, English, French, German and Spanish. She reads some Dutch, Italian and Portuguese.
Rosie works as a book illustrator, web designer and translator of English prose into German. She is married to a scientist, Hans Breuer. They have three sons, Klaus, Hannes and Florian.
After their wedding they moved to Saskatoon in Canada, where Hans accepted a position as assistant professor of Physics at the University of Saskatchewan. Two years later they moved to Brownsville in Pennsylvania, USA.
Our beautiful yachtFive years later they fulfilled an old dream and bought a sailing yacht, built by a Dutch shipyard owner for himself - a beautiful 58 foot sloop. They enjoyed 5 magnificent years on board and stayed long wherever they felt happy: Starting in Lisbon, Portugal, they sailed on to Spain, Gibraltar, the Mediterranean, Morocco, Canary Islands, Senegal, Gambia and ended up in the Caribbean.
While on board teaching her young sons reading, she invented the first of her Zettelwitz stories.
Back in Europe they lived for a few years in and near Vienna, before they finally settled down in the most beautiful corner of the world: in Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Rosemarie started her 'Stellenbosch Culture' projects as a hobby, with the website and book, Stellenbosch Writers. She is currently collecting information for a multimedia CD ROM of the same title, which will feature her book, several books by and voices of famous Stellenboschers, picture galleries of Stellenbosch buildings and the flora and fauna of the area (with the help of Heemkring and others). At the same time she will concentrate on Stellenbosch Artists. Together with Amanda Botha, she intends to write an art book with many photographs in colour with the accompanying CD ROM.
