Vom 20.12.2025 bis zum 12.01.2026 gibt es keine offene Sprechstunde. In dringen Fällen, schreiben Sie mir bitte eine E-Mail.
An Freitagen biete ich regelmäsig eine offene Sprechstunde im Zeitraum 14:00-15:00 via Zoom an. Sie können einfach folgenden Link https://e.feu.de/sauerwald nutzen um am Meeting teilzunehmen. Idealerweise schreiben Sie mir im Vorfeld eine E-Mail, dann kann ich mich auf Ihr anliegen vorbereiten. Termine ausserhalb der Sprechstunde sind auch möglich. Schreiben Sie mir dafür eine E-Mail.
There will be no consultation hours between December 20, 2025, and January 12, 2026. Please write me an email for an individual appointment.
I offer a consultation hour on most Fridays from 14:00-15:00 via Zoom. You can join the meeting at https://e.feu.de/sauerwald. At best, write me an email if you want to have a meeting during that time. Meetings at other times are possible upon request via email.
