Life
editPreisinger, the son of a glass technician, grew up in the city of Düren in North-Rhine-Westphalia, aside from a two-year stay in eastern Bavaria. After graduating at the Wirteltor-High School in 1981 he started to study sports sciences at the German Sport University in Cologne. In 1986 he graduated as Diploma-Sports-Teacher. In the very same year he started as an officer of the reserve cadet at the tank Battalion 533 in Düren and finished his trainings in Munster/Lower Saxony.[1]
Since 1989 he worked as track & field coach und studied history at the University of Cologne. In 1990 he published his non-fictional book Sprungwettbewerbe der Leichtathletik - Die Entwicklung Mittelalter bis 1896 (Jumping contests of Track & Field - The Development from the Medieval Ages until 1896), before he was working as scientific employee at the Institute for Sports History of the German Sports University. 1993 he organized an exhibition on the History of Track & Field Athletics in the city hall of Stuttgart on the occasion of the T&F World Championships.
Beside his writing activities for different magazines,[2] he was working for the tourism industry and among other places lived in Nassau, Bahamas. There he wrote his book, published after his return to Europe, Das Bermuda-Rätsel gelöst (The Bermuda Riddle Solved) about the Bermuda Triangle, in the meantime translated in several languages like Italian, Romanian or Polish. 1997 Preisinger received his doctor's degree at the German Sport University Cologne in History and Sociology.
From 1998 until 2003 Preisinger worked as freelancer and later editor for the Schwäbische Zeitung (Swabian Newspaper),[3] in this time he also published his third non-fictional book AUTEC-Navy-Basis - Offizieller Kontakt zu einer anderen Welt? (AUTEC-Navy-Base. Official Contact to another World? )
2004 he started his investigations for his fourth non-fictional book, which was published in the end of 2005 under the title Voodoo, Orisha & Co - Eine Reise zu den afrikanischen Religionen und Kulturen der Karibik (Voodoo, Orisha & Co - A Voyage to the African Religions and Cultures of the Caribbean).
Since moving from Lake Constance to the Baltic Sea in 2005[4] Preisinger was working for different media, among other projects he hosted together with Aiman Abdallah an episode of the Pro7-Show Galileo-Mystery on the Bermuda-Triangle.
In 2016 Preisinger moved to the United States, since then working as an author, consultant and journalist, working among others for the German television station WELT Nachrichten and several print media.
