This is the introductory text to Torsten Lankau's success story.

I grew up in the lower middle class. My parents were down-to-earth, hard-working people who brought me up with a lot of love and warmth. I was born in the Ore Mountains in Saxony and spent my childhood and youth in Chemnitz - in the middle of the GDR, in a strictly regimented system. Everything was planned: My parents had fixed working hours and we children were taken to nursery or kindergarten without much choice. The daily routine was like a timetable that nobody questioned.

I can still vaguely remember the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was an event whose significance I couldn't grasp as a four or five-year-old. It was only later, as a teenager, that I understood what this historic moment meant: the transition from communism to the social market economy and finally to capitalism. This time of upheaval shaped me. I learned early on that you have to be flexible in life and constantly adapt. I saw how many of the younger generation went to the West - including my sister, who moved to Munich at the age of sixteen to seize new opportunities.

Our circumstances were simple. One vacation a year took us to the Baltic Sea, and I flew for the first time when I was 18 or 19. As a child, I had a ball in my hand, that was all I needed to be happy. We lived in our own little world and hardly knew what was going on outside in the big world. Nevertheless, it felt good. Sport was an integral part of that time for me, whether it was soccer or table tennis, it gave my everyday life structure and joy.

"I picked up fundamental values from my parents: Respect, honesty, helpfulness and the naturalness of greeting other people."
