Life Gerd Jaeger was born in Förderstedt, a small village near the lignite mines in the countryside south of Magdeburg. In 1943, aged 16, he was conscripted for military service, assigned initially to airforce support (''Luftwaffenhelfer'') and then quite soon, as a young soldier, sent to fight on the Russian front. He returned home only in 1949 having spent most of the intervening period as a prisoner of war. 1949 was the year in which the entire central portion of Germany, till that point administered as the Soviet occupation zone, was hurriedly relaunched as the Soviet sponsored German Democratic Republic (East Germany). He now returned to the series of sketches on which he had embarked in 1943, centred on the horrors of war: the theme was one of which he would find himself unable to let go for decades.

It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of . Limestone forms when these minerals precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium. This can take place through both biological and nonbiological processes, though biological processes, such as the accumulation of corals and shells in the sea, have likely been more important for the last 540 million years. Limestone often contains fossils which provide scientists with information on ancient environments and on the evolution of life. About 20% to 25% of sedimentary rock is carbonate rock, and most of this is limestone. The remaining carbonate rock is mostly dolomite, a closely related rock, which contains a high percentage of the mineral dolomite, .
