About Us

I am an independent enthusiast, unaffiliated with the managers of Stonehenge in England, and I have been running this website since June 1994.

This website proudly holds the honor of being the oldest continuously operated, independently run Stonehenge site on the Internet. Since its inception, it has educated millions of students, teachers, and curious minds about the enduring mystery and majesty of Stonehenge.

My fascination with Stonehenge began in childhood, though I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. While growing up we lived in Germany (late 1970s) and my family had the chance to visit England. We explored a henge, but unfortunately, it wasn't the iconic stone circle of Stonehenge.

I deeply regret missing that opportunity, especially since back then, visitors could walk among the stones, immersing themselves in their ancient glory. Today, visitors are kept at a distance, marveling as spectators at the monument's timeless majesty.

Much later in life, having missed that "in-person" experience, I resolved to learn as much as I could about Stonehenge. In 1994, I took what knowledge I had, created a simple web page, and set out to share the wonder of Stonehenge with the world. I was far from an expert, but at the time, there was little to no information about Stonehenge available online.

On June 4, 1994, "Stonehenge - Gateway to the Realms" went live. Hosted on my Earthlink internet account, it was a modest site, but I continued to refine and expand it over the years. For a long time, it drew countless visitors, eager to learn about this enigmatic monument.

Over the decades, the site was moved to different domains as it evolved through many names and iterations, growing in popularity with each change. As far as I can tell, I am the operator of the oldest Stonehenge-focused website on the Internet. I'm proud to say it has helped over 8 million students, educators, and curious individuals deepen their understanding of Stonehenge's history and significance.

Finally, I moved the site to its permanent home at AboutStonehenge.Info. My vision was to create a "one-stop Stonehenge spot," a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to explore this ancient marvel.
