Tröglitz.

Vor ein paar Tagen habe ich mir gemeinsam mit dem dänischen Journalisten Erik Jensen ein Auto gemietet und wir sind nach Tröglitz gefahren. Tröglitz ist eine kleine Gemeinde in Sachsen-Anhalt und erfuhr in der Nacht zum 4. April 2015 traurige Berühmtheit, als ein für die Unterbringung einer kleinen Anzahl von Flüchtlingen vorgesehenes Haus nachts in Flammen aufging.   Das Ergebnis unserer Reise in das Dorf südöstlich von Leipzig ist diesen Sonntag in der Beilage zur Wochenendausgabe der großen dänischen Tageszeitung Politiken erschienen.

It was great, and at the same time I felt very lonely and sad. Being a mom really is quite a weird thing to be honest.

FFM.

I walked for hours before my legs suddenly said STOP and N had to collect me by car somewhere in the middle of the city.   All photos: Carolin Weinkopf via iPhone
