Home is, where the heart is. If this simple formula is melodious, Stuttgart is my home. Just two years I spent in the national capital on the Neckar, but when I look back and so are among the best I've ever experienced. If it was not even the very best.
Stuttgart was in the war to some extent leveled to the ground and from the "Florence of Germany" as the city was called before Adolf's big bash also not stood still too much Charming. In Stuttgart, probably the ugliest town hall in a radius of 1,000 kilometers, lies in wait horrified visitors, the dialect is for the untrained ear, an acoustic Graus, if you wash laundry on Sunday, you run the risk of your next purchase to be spat upon by the residents and the likes VfB the last place (yet!). But it still has among the houses in the valley and I radioed. And it has not changed anything. This love will last. Even without a ring or church Blessing.
Accordingly, you already Kasbohm imagine how this for me just feels like when I turn on the TV. I do not now do with all the pros and cons, and not "top" or "down". I am looking for a construction freeze and that Stuttgart will stay up. Not only because I hate change. But from an entirely different reason that has a lot to do with train travel. Whenever I've told other people about my affection for Stuttgart, shook his head as I would have spoken of Novosibirsk or Castrop-Rauxel. Only so if you are not too bad, is clearly preferable to no public Stuttgart of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Since one or the other hand reaches then ever in my pants pocket and feels for the phone to summon medical help. One striking aspect of those conversations was just a frequently recurring scenario. My question: "Have you ever been to Stuttgart," And that's the common answer? "No, why"
I would then reply, of course, can see that because blind people from the color speak, but I was also never been to Novosibirsk. So I have over the years, a good advice for those people ready set, I could be wonderful in the respective situations of the deck. "If you're going to Stuttgart driving times, check with the train." This is (at least not yet) for you, Kasbohm. If the first less attractive foothills of Stuttgart are passed by only once to you, you will be rewarded with each meter to go through a great view. You will see how the city nestled between the tank heights, you'll find vineyards, rolling hills with beautiful buildings, extensions of the park and perhaps even the castle itself, depending on where you sit on the train. (And if you then just before your arrival track in this ugly come cinema concrete block, simply make the eyes.) Stutti have for visitors arriving by train a quite romantic charm, you will want to get put a quarter of Lviv on the table and look for the rest of the day a beautiful Swabian with spaetzle cockroaches. I kid you now times. Try the quiet.
I want it that way. Even if Stuttgart 21 in a democratic process and planned over a long period and was finally decided. Even though the citizens of Baden-Wuerttemberg have long known what to expect. For I even tend to make decisions only at the last minute, when I became really aware of the implications. The current protest is unprecedented - even in two respects. For to say in this form and determined across all strata of society to stand up and "no" one would have expected the hamburgers. Needless to say, the Berliners, even the people from Cologne, Dortmund and Leipzig. But certainly not the Swabians. The Schwabe's not just the German prototype in terms of rebellion or anarchy. 1972 is probably the punks in Stuttgart were dressed smartly.
If you now but of the almost nauseating kind of public policy except that the conflict over Stuttgart 21 instrumented grateful election issue, and so nimbly switches the positions that the FDP could be closed jealous, you see first one. Namely, that children and adults, grandpas and grandmas, tie beams and hip-hoppers, sick and well, foreigners and residents together in a water-executive posts. I think that's fantastic. I am proud of my city.
I'll stay up, Kasbohm. Stay in touch with?
Adé, Your Schwobesäggl
