The story of Heinrich
May 2019
“I'm 86 now but when I was a schoolboy I was a little bit lazy. My father was a teacher in an elementary school and he wanted me to work harder and become a teacher like him. Later when I was 18 – 20 years old and started attending the university I worked very hard and climbed up the ladder to become a professor of medicine. It was very hard but I had a group of 7 or 10 young doctors that worked together with me in the research of carcinogenesis. Specifically, carcinogenesis in the gastrointestinal tract. As you know in Western countries many people have problems with it today.
My big hobby is botany and I am looking for botanic gardens all over. I think there’s one botanic garden here in Bratislava, near some University but our ship back to Passau is leaving in one hour, so I have no time to go there now.”
