Born on 2.12.1943 near Berlin, Rosemarie, née Berg, grew up in the Taunus
Mountains near Wiesbaden, in Fischbach.
She studied Romance Languages - Latin, French and Spanish - in Paris, Munich,
Frankfurt, Seville and Saskatoon, Canada and at Unisa. The languages came very
handy during her travels. Languages: Afrikaans, English,
French, German, Spanish and (reads) Dutch, Italian and Portuguese
Rosie works as a book illustrator and web designer.
She is married to a scientist, Hans Breuer. They have three sons, Klaus,
Hannes and Florian.
In 1967 they moved to Saskatoon in Canada, where Hans accepted a position as
assistant professor of Physics at the University of Saskatchewan.
Two years later they moved to Brownsville in Pennsylvania, USA.
In August 1971 they fulfilled an old dream and bought a sailing yacht, built
by a Dutch shipyard owner for himself - a beautiful 58 foot sloop. They enjoyed
5 magnificent years on
board and stayed long wherever they felt happy:
Starting in Lisbon, Portugal, they sailed on to Spain, Gibraltar, the
Mediterranean, Morocco, Canary Islands, Senegal, Gambia and ended up in the
Caribbean.
Back in Europe they lived for a few years in Vienna and Schloss Urschendorf, before they finally settled down in the most beautiful corner of the world: Stellenbosch, South Africa.
Rosemarie started her 'Stellenbosch Culture' projects as a hobby, with the website and book, Stellenbosch Writers.
While on board teaching her young sons, she invented the first Zettelwitz stories, but only recently did she sit down and turned them into a completely new book. Originally published just for the family and friends, so many people wanted to buy it, that Rosie started her own small publishing house for special editions of outstanding print quality.
