I was born in 1955 in Berlin-Spandau. My parents were the artists Prof. Lothar Lehmann and Hannelore Kind-Lehmann. From 1975 to 1983 I studied Protestant Theology and Ancient Near Eastern Languages at the Kirchliche Hochschule Berlin and the Freie Universität Berlin, and Applied Photography at the Hochschule der Künste (University of Fine Arts) Berlin. I passed my first theological exam at the Protestant Church of Berlin-Brandenburg (West Berlin), from 1983-1989 worked as research assistant at the Department of Old Testament studies and Biblical Archaeology at the Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz.

I teach Ancient and Biblical Hebrew, Ancient and Biblical Aramaic, Phoenician, and Northwest Semitic Epigraphy, specializing on early alphabetic calligraphy technics.
