Within the last days you maybe saw in the Internet or TV some information about Germany, as a tragedy has taken place in Chemnitz and is used to express fear.
Place where a 35 year old man has been killed. Google Maps accepted that I created this place:
Gedenkplatz Daniel H.
Brückenstraße, 09111 Chemnitz

The news you find for excample here:
It always do pain in my heart, when people are violent against each other. So I decided to make a stopover in Chemnitz last night to understand what happen there.
When I arrived Chemnitz the first think what did cast in my eyes, was the first sentence of our constitution: The human indignity is inviolable. On the wall is written violable/ touchable/ vulnerable. Not INviolable!
It is not a simple sentence for me, but I deeply believe in the INVIOLABLE !
It is the first sentence of the German constitution after the Second World War (Germany started on the 01.September 1939) and has been documented 1949 and as it is written it is still valid.
Yesterday I met different groups, as the floral wreath around the place where the man has been killed a week ago attract different people with different motivations…
I talked with two boys from Syria
, I talked to a mother with two small children, I talked with a older woman, I talked with German teens.
What I only like to summarize:
- There are different kind of fears. There are different ways to express fear.
Fear make it much more difficult to find a solution.
All told me, that no one take care about their fear… (of course not in the direct way)
- Chemnitz is a city with many contrasts! Saxonia (the province where Chemnitz is, is worth a trip, as people are friendly and landscape is nice.)
Chemnitz market square (old and new architecture)
- Also obvious statements need to be manifested.
I don’t know what happen in the weekend in Chemnitz, but please do not generalize when discover something new, this make it to easy for populists.
