[edit] About me
My name is Andreas Franz Borchert (PND 114296669). I am mainly active in the German language edition of the wikipedia. Please feel free to contact me by email or on my talk page. Here is my edit count at Commons.
Within the scope of the Wikimedia projects, my main interests are in the field of medieval church history in Ireland, from the early Christian period to the reformation. I visited Ireland for the first time in 1986. Since then I fell in love with this country and became a regular visitor of Ireland. In 1996 I begun to systematically photograph Irish monasteries from the medieval period. So far, I've just uploaded a fraction of my pictures. Many of them are still not digitized.
Commons is full of surprises. In this picture which was shot and uploaded by K. Jähne, I was able to locate my house in Lonsee, a village in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. I enjoy the view into the valley and the sight of the various trains passing on the major line between Stuttgart and Munich. Too bad that they don't stop in Lonsee :)
