My name is Kim Holger Kelting. I’m a blogger and Wikipedian.
School career
In 2010, I obtained a diploma from a school for special needs education. I then completed a vocational preparatory year (AVJ) and obtained my secondary school diploma. After dropping out of vocational training to become a nursing assistant, I attended evening school (BFS I – specializing in business administration and accounting) at the Regional Vocational Training Center for Economics in Kiel (RBZ Wirtschaft . Kiel) from August 2018 to June 2020 and graduated with a secondary school diploma.
Family and personal life
I was born on February 2, 1995, in Kiel, Germany.
I grew up in what I would describe as rather “difficult family circumstances” in various places. My parents separated shortly after I was born. I had very little contact with my father (who has since passed away at the age of 50). I grew up partly with my mother, my maternal grandparents, with a foster family in Borgstedt, and in a supervised children’s home. As a young adult, I also lived in supervised housing, temporarily with my mother, in a boarding school in Neumünster, and with my grandparents in Heikendorf.
In 2010, I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. On August 7, 2014, I became the father of a son, whose mother I was not married to and am no longer in a relationship with. The relationship with her was rather difficult and ultimately overwhelmed me psychologically. I had doubts about my paternity and therefore took a paternity test, which came back positive. At my request, a court granted me joint custody.
At the end of 2019, I was diagnosed with depression due to a difficult period in my life.
I currently live in Kiel.
Interests
Politics: The decisive events that sparked my interest in political issues were, on the one hand, the success of new right-wing political movements and groups in Germany, such as the AfD and PEGIDA, and, on the other hand, the 2016 presidential election in the United States, when Donald Trump was elected president for the first time. Then, during the 2017 federal election, my interest was rekindled (by the so-called “Schulz effect”), and since then I have been regularly engaging with political issues.
Volunteer work
From May 2017 to May 2025, I was a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), and since then I have been a member of The Left Party. Since 2013, I have made over 2,000 edits to Wikipedia and am also involved in other wiki projects.
