There are dozens of vehicles sitting around the lot to the next cow pasture that have been repaired but not yet picked up. And in the office, the phone rings every few minutes.

"I have the conviction that you want to make your radicalism a bit comfortable and quick," said Rosa Luxemburg on December 30, 1918, at the founding congress of the KPD.

Indro Montanelli has been lucky once again. In various countries, statues have recently been put to the sword, landing in harbor basins because slave traders and racists were worshipped there.

He carries an elegant walking stick in his hand, hiking boots on his feet, and a backpack with books he publishes himself on his back: Martin Schmitz, born in 1956, is a walking scholar. His great teacher: Lucius Burckhardt. He invented the discipline that Schmitz now teaches at the Kunsthochschule Kassel in the 1980s – as an approach for urban and landscape planners. He was a "polymath," as Martin Schmitz describes him, a critic of science and a go-getting spirit.
