    Personal life

    Birkhan married Ingvild Birkhan (née Bach), a prominent philologist and philosopher, in 1965. Helmut and Ingvild have two daughters, Barbara Rhiannon Xochitl and Ines Birkhan  [ de ] (born Ines Obilot Papalotl). Ines is a distinguished author, dancer and choreographer. Their daughters were given Nahuatl names, as Helmut and Ingvild have a great interest for the Aztecs. Birkhan's hobbies include botany, photography, music (including classical music, jazz and folk music), cooking, dancing, mountain sports, skiing and sailing. [1]
