Stephan Thiemonds (* April 5, 1971 in Lendersdorf/Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia), is a German Author, who composes travelogues and short stories in the style of Gonzo Journalism. LifeThiemonds trained as a coppersmith and a welder at GEA Cancler GmbH in Düren, and later qualified as a construction foreman and a European Welding Specialist (EWF). Since 2003 he has travelled all over the world working for Buss SMS Canzler GmbH, based in Butzbach, Germany, a manufacturer of industrial machines, specialised in process engineering. Numerous professional and private journeys to all continents inspired him to write his semi-autobiographical short stories. In the summer of 2002 he began a bike journey which would last many months, and take him all the way to Australia. He was sponsored on this endeavour, with people pledging €1 for every kilometer cycled. The monies collected were donated to the fund for the restoration of a fire-damaged spire which forms part of Merode Castle [1], the most famous landmark of his hometown of Merode, municipality of Langerwehe. Since 2012 Thiemonds has lived with his partner and their daughter in Darmstadt. 2015 he moved back to his origin home country Langerwehe. Since 2017 he incorporate as a German Ambassador the charitable not-for-profit organization Child's Dream.[2] 359° - The Workaday Life Of An Industrial GypsyA selection of his short stories from his German “Querweltein – Unterwegs“ series of books has been translated into English. It contains stories from China, Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, Iran, Colombia, Antarctica, Denmark, Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Great Britain, Germany, from “Seventh Heaven“ and from “Above Clouds“. In 2016 a reviesed 359° edition was published in India. CoverThe cover of the English edition shows a hard hat held upside down. On its front, also wrong way up, the logo of the machinery and plant engineering company Buss SMS Canzler GmbH is depicted. As is usual in the international industry sector, the logo on the front serves to identify the wearer’s company affiliation. Within the basket-resembling, for individual head circumference adjustable plastic holder of the helmet rests the earth, similar to a breakfast egg in an egg cup. On the Earth, apart from the northern part of the African continent, Europe and the Arctic, an industrial plant is perceivable as an independent continent, consisting of fractionating columns, spherical gas tanks, pipelines and a gas flare stack. It seems as though the observer would cast a future glance into the crystal ball of a clairvoyant, whereas this future reveals itself as a growing, globally expanding industrial world. The angle measurement of 359° preceding the book title Workadays Life Of An Industrial Gypsy is meant to express that no man-made workmanship will ever achieve perfection (the geometric unit of a turn). The subheadingYou’ll Never Work Alone is borrowed in slightly altered form from the song text You'll Never Walk Alone. While the walk within the song text stands for walking (together through life), the work in the subheading concerns the (occupational) work – as a reminder that nobody ever accomplishes a productive task completely alone. There are always people (or colleagues), who either carried out an advance input, or who directly support oneself during the actual work task. The subheading is intended to call to attention that one should unfailingly consider his personal work as a product of synergy. Works
