Dr. Ulf Dietrich Merbold (born June 20, 1941) is the first West German citizen and second German native (after Sigmund Jähn) to have flown in space. He is also the first member of the European Space Agency Astronaut Corps to participate in a spaceflight mission. He holds the distinction of being the first non-US citizen to reach orbit in a US spacecraft. In 1983, he and Byron Lichtenberg became the first Payload Specialists to fly on the shuttle.
Merbold was born in Greiz, Thuringia — just 40 kilometers from where Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space, was born. Both happened to grow up in the socialist German Democratic Republic, also known as East Germany. After he finished school in 1960, Merbold, as thousands others before the Berlin wall was built, defected to the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). He studied physics at the University of Stuttgart, earning a diploma in 1968 and a doctorate in 1976. He then joined the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart, where he worked on solid state physics and low temperature physics.

Live @ Ulf-Merbold-Gymnasium Greiz 14.09.2011 Lyrics: As we walk across the land dead, bruised and shattered all hope left buried in sand realize the death we've gathered (I will tell you how it came to) this hypocrisy of men we won't dare to admit the delusion of them as an explanation of it Chorus: Frightened appearance you intend to blind but I've revealed the truth scarred soil caused on lies inside. The green wastes away acid clouds dust spread oscillating to earth's downfall gray out within the last day A turn back from the abyss destroy your habits and fears change this grievance prolong our existence with some years Chorus: Frightened appearance you intend to blind but I've revealed the truth scarred soil caused on lies inside.
