Achmed Adolf Wolfgang Khammas (born March 23, 1952) is a German author, translator and interpreter. He is most popular for being one of the very few authors to write about Islam and science fiction in the Arabic language.[1] Khammas is also active in the field of sustainable energy.[1]
Khammas was born in Berlin in 1952 to a German mother and Iraqi father.[1] He grew up in Damascus, Syria. After attending school there he returned to Berlin to work at Technische Universität Berlin.[2] Shortly later he moved back to Damascus where he built up a factory for the production of solar thermal plants, between the years of 1977 and 1989. Since then, he has been back in Berlin and working as a translator and interpreter.
