Born in Breslau, he graduated from high school in Wuppertal and studied Classics and Byzantine studies in the universities of Cologne, Tübingen and Athens (with a scholarship in 1962/1963). He graduated in 1967 from the Free University of Berlin, specializing in Byzantine studies in 1974 and beginning to work at the Aristoteles-Archiv.
