First, I would like to thank my supervisors Prof. Dr. Ben Light and Prof. Dr. Seamus Simpson for everything they have done for me. Thank you for all the helpful discussions, for sharing your honest thoughts, giving advise and – last but not least – for all the Skype and FaceTime meetings. It was a real pleasure to work with you. You did a great job! Also, I’d like to thank some scholars and companions for their inspiration and the faith they have put in me. Prof. Dr. Rainer Janz, Prof. Dr. Sarah Worley, Prof. Dr. Donna Weimer and Prof. Dr. Walter Krämer, thank you for your trust and confidence. Furthermore, I am more than grateful for all my friends and family. Thank you Alexander, Andrea, Anika, Anke, Jonas, Lesley, Linda, Mareike, Mechthild and Michael. You have always been there to for me if I needed someone to discuss my very raw thoughts - and never complained about anything. And finally, thanks Chris, thanks mum and thanks T
