Klaus
Klaus, 75 years old, has been living in Würzburg for over 20 years. He was born in the Rhön region, but his family roots extend as far as Brazil and Thuringia. When he talks about his home, he doesn't just mean the place where he lives, but the feeling of warmth and security that he feels. “Würzburg is home for me,” he says, “it's the ideal mix between my rural home and urban life.”
Satisfied with his personal situation and the city of Würzburg, Klaus is very interested in social developments in Germany. He is highly critical of the political situation. “Germany is underperforming,” he says. “We would have a much better situation if we didn't keep making mistakes, such as the loss of control at the borders.” “This is what worries many people and gives extremism a chance,” he says, adding that the country needs to refocus on the fundamental values of democracy.
Klaus is involved in an association that works to maintain democracy. ‘It's not enough just to talk,’ he explains. ‘We have to take action, listen to each other, respect each other and work together.’ For him, that is where hope lies.
Das Projekt
in aller Kürze
Jeder Mensch - egal wie alt, egal woher - will irgendwann endlich ankommen. Wir zeigen 1.000 Menschen aus Würzburg, jeden mit seiner eigenen Geschichte.
Über diese Geschichten, Kunst, Diskussionen und kreative Formate laden wir alle ein, miteinander ins Gespräch zu kommen, gemeinsame Werte zu entdecken und sie im besten Fall gemeinschaftlich umzusetzen.
Dass Diversität im eigenen Umfeld als Chance begriffen werden kann, will das Projekt ebenso erfahrbar machen, wie das Glücksgefühl, das sich einstellt, wenn man selbst etwas verändert.
