Personal
He is married to Barbara Jeż, a former member of the Poland women's national handball team. His family, of Silesian-German ancestry, had been German citizens in the Province of Upper Silesia (until 1945) and thus could resettle in West Germany as Aussiedler, which they did in 1985, settling down in Kusel.
