Manfred was born in 1944 in Landskron, Czechia. In 1963, he enrolled for mathematics and physics at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, from which he received a master degree in 1969. Subsequently, he worked at a research lab of Siemens AG in the area of graphics software. In 1971, he returned to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. At the chair of programming languages headed by Hans-Jürgen Schneider, he focused on graph grammars and graph rewriting systems. Manfred received a doctoral degree in 1974 and a habilitation degree in 1979, both from the Engineering Faculty of the University of Erlangen- Nuremberg.
In 1979, Manfred obtained his first position as a professor at the University of Koblenz-Landau, where he worked as an associate professor of computer science until 1981. He then moved to the University of Osnabrück, where he held the chair of applied computer science as a full professor until 1986. From then on, Manfred held a chair of computer science at RWTH Aachen University until he retired in July 2009.
