In his second novel, comedian and author Thomas Nicolai presents a mini-GDR in fast-forward. Dortmund couple Beate and Peter Sendler move to the Saxon village of Maulberg in 2016 and experience not only a peaceful idyll of coexistence, but also the longing of many residents for the "good old" GDR. It is difficult for the people of Maulberg to accept that Peter Sendler, of all people, has the idea, but the idea is too tempting: a four-week trip back to the GDR to celebrate the village's 400th anniversary - with all the trimmings. But the experiment gets out of hand, because neither ox nor donkey can stop the Maulbergers in their tracks ...
A satirical farce against uncritical Ostalgie that could hardly be more topical. Thomas Nicolai presents his novel with great pleasure in performance and parody. Not for nothing was the "Maulberg" audiobook he recorded voted onto the hr2 audiobook best list.
