Excerpts from the book H. Wöhlk - An acknowledgement
with texts by Feridun Zaimoglu
Heinrich Wöhlk was a passionate man. Those who knew him said: he was always motivated and in his presence we were not devalued.
As a child he could only see very badly, in fact he was half blind. Everything around him flickered with ghostly lights, any brightness lost. Wöhlk reluctantly wore thick heavy glasses.
Get better, never give up, do better. Wöhlk invented the contact lens and cast his glasses aside. He started in the summer house and then moved into the cellar of his house with six employees.
He sat at the board until it was finished. He bent low over the drawing and smiled because he recognised what he was seeing.
