Karsten Krampitz "Society with limited hope"
Moderated by: Marion Brasch
In a home for disabled young people in Thuringia in the 1970s, four friends who can barely move decide to break out and form a commune. The church gives them an old vicarage. A community of equals in which everything is shared, money and books, records and beer, but also all infirmities. When the GDR collapses, it becomes clear that it was also the Wall that held this community together. Karsten Krampitz uses three true stories in his novel: that of a border guard who shot an unarmed Italian truck driver in the back in 1976, that of the blues band Freygang and that of a commune for the disabled in Hartroda.
