The Lipstick Queen
Uli never wore much makeup. But her trademark was her bright red lipstick 💄. For me she was the Lipstick Queen. I therefore had to present her with the book by Poppy King, a young Australian woman, who became a very successful entrepreneur with her lipsticks, thus...
Hörnum/Sylt Spring 2024
Uli loved walking holidays in the mountains. I convinced her to try the North Sea on my favourite island, Sylt, the most northern tip of Germany. She loved it. She walked the island with its great variety of landscape. She also followed the traces of the many famous...
Colourful Uli
We only knew each other fleetingly. Compatriotes and colleagues, we’d smile and greet each other. I was the assistant who moved your Korea Interview around so it suited you best. Our exchange then was lighthearted and positive – I knew how much you wanted...
Uli and Jeff
Some of my memories of Uli, from 2014 (when she was living here in Tokyo) through later years: Seeing her go from being a novice at Japanese language to gaining superior proficiency, especially in reading/writing. By the end, she was reading Haruki Murakami and other...
Uli & Gisella

During Uli’s online remembrance, one of her colleagues from the EU expressed an interest in knowing more about Uli’s books, which were so important in Uli’s life. This moved me to make the list below of novels and a few other works (narrative poems,...Champagne
I will always remember Uli for her love of champagne especially Louis Roederer. Cheers 🥂
Tokyo 2023 Summer Memory
She was wearing a beautiful dress that matched the place. Fashion is one of the things we talk about together. Like all of you, I love her style.
Despedida a Chile (good-bye to Chile) en 2020
In August of 2020 it was still necessary to get a ¨permiso¨ to go out in public in the capital of Chile, but Uli and I wanted to share one last time together in Santiago before her return to Brussels. So we got our passes to be in public and met for a picnic in Plaza...
