Christian was one of the best colleagues I had. In the beginning it felt like having a kind, close to all-knowing elder brother working with me. Who happend to be my boss. I am still thinking of Christian very regularly.
It´s so sad to hear that he passed away. Christian was a fellow student at the university in Mainz. I knew him from 1984 to 1986 and had no contact with him afterwards. But even after so many years I remember him clearly as if only months have passed since.
Wishing his family peace and joy.
Thanks for participation, good and kind words, beautiful flowers and amazing music for our beloved father and husbands funeral.
Forever grateful ️
Linus, Lucas and Ellen️

Christian was a classmate, valued by everyone. We are very sad to hear that he died much to early and express our deepest condolences to his wife Mie, his sons, and his family.
We will keep an honerable memory of Christian and will remember his and all other deceased classmates at our next meeting.

Christian has gone can't believe it
Remember when he started guitar playing. He won that instrument at a competition with a fabulous record sleeve of Kraftwerk's Robot-song he drawed himself.
My thoughts & best wishes to his family.
I'll never forget you, Christian.
A colleague, friend and skilled professional has passed away.
Christian raised his head above the rest of us in so many ways. His over 1.90 height, always with a smile on top is perhaps what we all remember the most But Christian's contribution to the professional community in Equinor and his qualities as a person, friend, colleague and leader is what has left the deepest mark.
Christian was born and raised in Germany and received a doctorate in geology from the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel and started his career in exploration at Hydro in Oslo in 1996.
It became clear early on that Christian had a unique ability to use his deep professional competence to develop new concepts and tools. Combined with his communication skills, he has left deep traces in our way of working in exploration. The concepts and tools he developed are actively used today in our international exploration activity. He has made a strong contribution to the professional environment around modeling of petroleum systems in Equinor and in Norway.
Christian was confident, calm and balanced, at the same time curious and humble. He never avoided a good technical discussion but managed this without coming in conflict with others. His sense of humor, warmth and inclusive style naturally attracted people around him and he became a role model. During professional meetings internally and externally, there were always many who wanted to talk to and learn from Christian.
He took these qualities with him into his leadership roles, in exploration both in Norway and internationally. First in Stavanger and later in Indonesia and Canada where he has been responsible for safe implementation of some of our most demanding drilling operations while building lasting relationships across cultures and generations. Christians leadership style involved a big presence and ability to listen, not only to technical arguments, but also to the people around him. He had the ability to develop a strong team and corporate affiliation even though he was far away from the head office.
Christian and Mie's homes abroad were always open for visiting colleagues.
Christian demanded a lot of himself and had great execution ability. His renovation of a sailboat in Stavanger took a long time because he always made the same high demands on himself privately as at work. He never compromised with what he thought was right.
Our warm thoughts and sympathy go to Mie, the children and the family in Germany. We will always be there for you; the way Christian was in our lives.
On behalf of good friends and colleagues at Equinor who will miss him dearly.
