Nickname: "Flake" - where does it come from? There's at least no German word like that.
Day of birth: 6 November, 1966
Sign of the Zodiac: Scorpio
Born in: Berlin, Germany
Hair: naturally brown, but has for a long time been blonde
Eyes: blue
Height: about 6'8 (190 cm)
Weight: about 160 pounds (around 73 kg)
Bands before Rammstein: Feeling B
Family/Background: The romour says he was actually adopted in to the Lorenz family. He grew up there at least, and he had two brothers. He got his first job at a newspaperstand. He got a piano for his 15th birthday by his parents. He has a doughter, the youngest of "the Rammstein kids", who's called Annie and he is divorced. He used to live at the Fehrbelliner Straße 9 in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg, but I don't think he has moved. But the letterbox has still his name on it and he's still registered there. But according to a source of mine the house looks out of order.
Smokes?: yes
Piercing/Tatoo: Not what I know...
Other: He is very well educated and has worked as a toolmaker. He's also educated as a classical pianist! When he ran out of money in the 80'ies he started to produce elastic curlers at home for export to West Germany. He was a bit loath about joining Rammstein at first. He thought they were to rough and dull!!! But, lucky for us fans, he joined. And look where it have got them... He likes alcohol :) Especially wine and whiskey/coke. *yuuuakhh*
My favourite Flake quotation: "I used to be a longhaired bluesfan" [What does he mean by used to??] :)  

BIG thanks to Susie, Ann and Rick!!!
