It's certainly no secret, so I might as well respond on the list:
A yes/no answer isn't possible so I will elaborate a bit:
I enjoyed working here, it is a really nice setting, skilled, creative
and eager students, great colleagues, a lot of freedom in what and how
to teach, etc.
Weimar is sleepy, but it also has some benefits which are hard to find
elsewhere. I chose to live here, rather than in Berlin (like many
colleagues) because of reasons like the short distances and the nature
around.
Positions at German universities like the one I had (and the one now
opened) are limited to 6 years, and non extensible. I had been working
for the Bauhaus-Universität for 5 years, so I started to look around
for other options.
I found one: since September I am Professor at the Yeungnam University
in Gyeongsan (Daegu), Korea.
It's very exciting to be there. I work with sculpture and painting
students, which is a great challenge for me, just like learning the
language.

Cheers!
Max
