I like “Germany. A Winter’s Tale” by Heinrich Heine. And just before the beginning of September, I thought to myself: I can and want to write something like that too. So, something similar. For Saxony. In the present. So “Saxony. A Horror Tale” was created. The horror tale mainly takes place in Dresden and only occasionally makes detours to Upper Lusatia, Radebeul, Leipzig, and Meissen.

The thirty chapters correspond to the thirty days of September 2023. Every day I was on the move, observed people and situations, sometimes talked to people, and processed all of that in my text. Each chapter is illustrated with a photograph. It is a political text, in which I nevertheless tried to integrate the humor typical of Heine here and there. I do not use a sledgehammer. One person may find themselves in a verse, another may not understand anything with the next, but may start laughing heartily with the one after that. Sometimes think about the words and continue at the end.
