My oldest hobbies are dogs (as a child Collie Tramp) and photography. At primary school, I started with an Agfa Isola (photo Dirk Böhling), a simple camera for roll film sizes 6x6, which at that time was about 40 DM.
With Giesenkirchen René had risen in the Landesliga , but he followed his coach to 1. FC Mönchengladbach. This team sought the re-emergence in the Landesliga, the 1. FC had been a fixture for many years. The team finally rose in the Landesliga and René then played another year for the FC.
