Wallisellen or the great unknown

“Aazelle, Bölle schelle, the corona skeptic goes to Walliselle”: How the kidnapping of vaccination boss Christoph Berger further increases the awareness of the Zurich Agglo community.

—

Anyone who read the reports about the latest twist in the Wallisellen case on Friday evening was confronted with a great unknown. Although: actually an unknown person of national fame. Because in all the news texts, after a super-provisional court order, there was only talk of a “nationally known person” who had been kidnapped by a 38-year-old corona skeptic. It could be anyone: Roger Federer or Roger Köppel, Simonetta or Alain, Heidi or Globi.

However, anyone who clicked on one of the countless push messages just an hour earlier knew that the kidnapped person was not Globi, but vaccination manager Christoph Berger.

The Wallisellen crime scene is also nationally known. The Zurich suburb has long been much more than a faceless agglomeration community, but also an alliteration in a children’s poem (“Aazelle, Bölle schelle”) and is sung about by “Stiller Haas” in a pompous and weird anthem (“Wallisellää”). Now the awareness will have increased again.
