“I do not want to and cannot understand and accept this lockdown because it is so disproportionate and destroys livelihoods, families, lives and somehow it is simply accepted”, Dajana Wildt, the organizer of the “Bringing together” demonstration, spoke clearly at the beginning of the event Words. In contrast to the first demonstration in November, where around 100 participants came, the market place in Hringer looks very tough on Saturday. Almost 50 people listened to what the TSG Bretzfeld-Rappach trainer and other speakers had to say. Towards the end of the approximately one-hour event, fewer than 30 people are on site.
Wildt spontaneously canceled the demonstration because of the cold and the number of participants. She suspects that the lower level of popularity could also be due to the fact that it was “put in the right drawer”. “We are impartial and explicitly not lateral thinkers,” emphasizes Wildt.
Those affected report their situation
Harry Hagen is the first to speak. For the owner of a dance school from Bietigheim-Bissingen, “no alternative” is the “bad word of the year” with regard to the corona measures. “Without a vaccination certificate, you may no longer go to major events or across national borders. Where are we,” he says. He worries about the abolition of freedoms. “The only thing left is the” freedom to buy. “
Dajana Wildt organized the demonstration for the second time.

Hermann Nothwang, owner of the restaurant and hotel Le Chlochard in Sindringen, reports on his situation. “The lack of perspective is like lead on the soul,” he says. “This is about livelihoods, and not only from the catering trade, but also from the gastro wholesale trade, from breweries to cleaning companies.” He would like to be able to pay his costs, such as lease and insurance, with his own money and not with corona loans.
For him it is incomprehensible that 50 people are allowed to drive to work on the bus, but after work the same people should not be together anywhere, says the restaurateur.
Truck drivers complain about restrictions on motorway service stations
As a truck driver, Michael Knorr feels the effects of the lockdown. In the first lockdown, you wouldn’t even have been allowed to go to the restrooms at motorway service stations. Showering was also not permitted. “You practically have to live in your driver’s hut on two and a half square meters,” complains the Niedernhaller. In the meantime, the motorway service stations are selling food again and showering is also allowed again.
Knorr’s wife Emely is the deputy organizer of the demonstration. In her speech, she dealt with the Infection Protection Act: “It is far-fetched to compare it with the Enabling Act of 1933. Nor do I want to downplay the virus.” She criticizes the fact that the law “leaves an incredible amount of leeway for government.” In their opinion, it is too vague and too far-reaching in relation to the curtailment of fundamental rights. “It was whipped through in no time,” she says.
