I descend from an old middle-class silk weaving dynasty of Vienna.
For forty years I have been engaged in weaving and still got much to learn.
I have practiced hand and shuttle weaving, worked on rapier weaving machines,
air-jet weaving machines and Jaquard machines; finally I experienced
– and was allowed to take part in – the transition from punched cards
to electronically controlled Jaquard machines.
I have an engineering firm for textile technology with customers from all over the world.
