Born in Munich, Germany 1966. Passed away Nov 16, 2012. Christiane taught at Argyle Secondary School and felt at home living on the North Shore due to her love of nature and animals. The loss of Christiane is like losing pieces of ourselves, necessary pieces. She was utterly unique, beautiful, kind and her own person. She will always be in our hearts and our imagination. Survived by family: Jochen, Josi, Katerina, Aurelia and Micki (Adam) as well as other family and friends.
