Brandt was forced to pay a premium for the mere prospect of peace and quiet Only after a lengthy negotiation process was she able to outbid her competitors The neglected train station in the town of Passow situated in a remote part of the Uckermark region sells for €1,900 At 320 square meters (3,450 square feet) of living space The cheap prices are not what it comes down to for real train station aficionados "We had simply fallen in love with the house and had dreamt of living there for a long time," says Birgit Hörner who has been living in the former Gross-Umstadt train station -- situated between Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg -- for nearly seven years with her family Hörner acquired the property -- together with her husband Robert Laack -- directly from Germany's national rail operator Deutsche Bahn (DB) higher bid that could have scuppered the deal was withdrawn allowing the couple to make the purchase on Hörner's birthday But the couple was not able to move into the new family home as soon as it had hoped: The local council unexpectedly made a fuss about the height of the wall dividing the family's living quarters from the platform The couple had received ample warning that working with DB's supervisory office would be extremely complicated the rail operator only sells its properties with special restrictions new owners have to agree that train passengers will be able to pass through their property to reach the platform new owners have to allow DB employees into their homes to access signal box technology still situated there Those who are uncomfortable with DB's terms are better off buying other properties the handover was completed without any major squabbles Birgit Hörner and Robert Lack spent years converting Groß-Umstadt train station -- situated between Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg -- into a living space the train station was still in frequent use people traveling through Groß-Umstadt were curious about the couple living inside the train station Restoring the house according to its original design was important to the couple "We want the house to remain attractive to people a century from now," says Hörner Renovating the wooden windows on the platform-facing facade was one of the most costly aspects of the operation Before the couple embarked on their restoration endeavor The couple was careful to renovate the interiors according to the house's original design The train station's waiting room now serves as a seminar room The floor of the lobby had to be thoroughly cleaned and several slabs of stone completely replaced The train station's former back office now serves as the family's open plan kitchen and living room The couple's bedroom is situated in the attic Many of the original wooden beams are still in place The view from the family's living room window makes up for the noise generated by passing trains 13.

rechter Netzwerke All dies ist nicht neu und auch nicht erst seit dem Treffen von Potsdam bekannt Antifaschistische Strukturen warnen seit 10 Jahren vor den Gefahren für die demokratische Gesellschaft Immer wieder waren es investigative Journalist*innen und antifaschistische Recherchegruppen welche die Verbindungen zwischen der AfD und rechtsterroristischen Zellen und militanten Strukturen herausgearbeitet haben Stück für Stück wurde die AfD von der etablierten Politik normalisiert ihre Thesen und Positionen übernommen und der Diskurs immer weiter nach rechts verschoben Erst dadurch konnte der Nährboden entstehen auf dem die AfD in den letzten Jahren gewachsen ist Lichterketten gegen Rechts zu bilden oder seiner Empörung in den sozialen Netzwerken zum Ausdruck zu bringen die Partei und ihre handelnden Individuen entschlossen zu bekämpfen Wir wollen ihnen gemeinsam mit euch die Räume streitig machen in denen sie sich wie selbstverständlich bewegen unbehelligt fühlen und in Sicherheit wähnen Denn die Mitglieder und Sympathisant*innen der AfD sind nicht irgendwer Sie sind unsere Nachbar*innen oder Arbeitskolleg*innen Teilweise ist ihr Engagement bekannt und wird von ihrem
