“When you are in, it’s hard to get out. And everything will change, rapidly and strictly. In a country in the heart of Europe, one of the strongest economic powers in the world, a symbol for richness and wealth, people are passing each other with no attention to their environment.

The number of homeless will rise up to nearly half million people in Germany, states the „Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Wohnungshilfe“, an institute which takes care about people with issues regarding living space and society.

These questions are not easy to answer.
