Uncertain whether the Scalalogues of the Ostbayerischen Technische Hochschule Regensburg have already noticed the latest photo of Ms. Schröder-Kim; if not, you are advised to take a look at the matter. Scalogy is the science of stair research, founded by a man named Friedrich Mielke, who was a university lecturer, monument conservator and, last but not least, stair researcher. Stairs are no joke, without stairs the world would be a mere string of bungalows and low-rise buildings. Writers and filmmakers use stairs again and again as symbols, in “Joker” Joaquin Phoenix prances down a long flight of stairs in the Bronx in a key scene of the film, while Sylvester Stallone as “Rocky” runs up the stairs of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to name just two examples to mention, and with that back to Ms. Schröder-Kim.
On her Instagram account, the wife of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder published a photo of a staircase, apparently in her house, with each step being covered with envelopes, above, in front, everywhere. An impressive sight, which is why, with the exception of a few who were interested in the origin of the sign “Here was Goethe” at the foot of the stairs, most of the responses from the followers were praiseworthy. “Great idea of the presentation,” wrote one user, “it’s amazing “Another one (Mrs. Schröder-Kim clarified the matter with the sign later, by the way, under the Goethe sentence there is a small addition” never “, a little joke on the edge of the stairs). A few days earlier, Ms. Schröder-Kim had posted a photo of her husband signing cards on which he is himself, the two sent the cards with Schröder’s face signed by Schröder as Christmas mail.
