Horst Walther

Dr. Horst Walther, besides oriental studies, pursued the study of chemistry, information technology and economics at the University of Hamburg. The impetus for his extensive studies was not so much his vocational training, but the desire to understand what holds this world together at its core. He views languages as the key to understanding people. That is why he gained an understanding of Chinese, Russian, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese in addition to doing a deeper study of the Persian language. He authors his professional articles and increasingly also essays with social or political statements mostly in English.
