In der Hauptstadt Berlin scheint immer etwas Aufregendes los zu sein. Selbst aus kleinen Vorfällen wie Schlägereien in Freibädern entwickelt sich eine nationale Debatte und aus einer Wildsau wird schnell eine Raubkatze. So erging es auch einer Freundin aus Süddeutschland, die sich über das Berliner Phänomen wunderte und mir einen Artikel über die Gewalt in Berliner Freibädern schickte. Der Titel des Artikels war dabei stark übertrieben und lautete: „Der Sozialstaat wird am Sprungturm verteidigt!“ Doch meine Freundin hatte recht – in Berlin wird gerne dick aufgetragen. Hier in Berlin gibt es nicht nur halbstarkes Verhalten und Gewalt in Freibädern. Nein, … — There always seems to be something exciting in the capital Berlin. Even from small incidents such as brawls in outdoor pools, a national debate develops and a Wildsau quickly becomes a big cat. This was how a friend from southern Germany, who was amazed at the Berlin phenomenon and sent me an article about violence in Berlin outdoor pools. The title of the article was very exaggerated and read: "The welfare state is defended at the diving tower!" But my girlfriend was right - fat is often applied in Berlin.

in the capital Berlin always seems to be something exciting. Even from small incidents such as brawls in outdoor pools, a national debate develops and a Wildsau quickly becomes a big cat. This was how a friend from southern Germany, who was amazed at the Berlin phenomenon and sent me an article about violence in Berlin outdoor pools. The title of the article was very exaggerated and read: "The welfare state is defended at the diving tower!" But my girlfriend was right - fat is liked to be applied in Berlin.

Here in Berlin there is not only half -strong behavior and violence in outdoor pools. No, there is "the outdoor pool debate". Just as there was "the New Year's Eve debate" beforehand. Berlin serves as a perfect projection surface for the rest of the republic, which is why the whole country cheerfully discussed. Topics such as toxic masculinity and integration problems are taken up and the question is always asked why such problems do not occur in other cities like Hamburg.

As usual, the same reaction patterns follow: politicians make poorly thought -out suggestions for the "law and order". The CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann, for example, called for an immediate assessment of the perpetrators, even on weekends. The German judge then countered with the indication that this was hardly possible due to the lack of personnel and the scarcity of judges. SPD and Greens surprisingly threw populism.

I personally makes the whole trara tired. The discussions about Berlin's allegedly “massive” integration problems, the authoritarian proposals from all political directions such as the locking out of all male people over 13 years from outdoor pools or the idea that enough social workers on the edge of the pool could solve all problems. The figures for debate are also terrifyingly low: In 2019 there were 71 registered violent crimes registered in the approximately two dozen Berlin outdoor pools, in 2022 it was 57.

Sorry, I just nodded briefly. Due to a medical recommendation, I made a small afternoon nap for relaxation. The German Trade Union Confederation even recommends this during working hours. A loose dress code and a cool drink are part of it - this is how it can be endured. There is an outdoor pool feeling while working. Simply wonderful! With your feet in a water bowl, a watermelon within range and a generously extended lunch break ...

Of course there are also votes against so much relaxation. The family entrepreneur's association is against this Schlendrian. After all, we are not in Mexico, but in the country of the productivity imperative: ahead through technology! Driving pleasure! You can build on these stones! The chairwoman of the family entrepreneur association, Marie-Christine Ostermann, has humorously pushed a stop to the proliferating Siesta fantasies. In her opinion, we should just start working earlier in summer: "The early bird catches the coolest worm," advised the Westfallin, who works in food wholesale, on Spiegel Online.

For additional cooling, in addition to the introduction of the identification obligation in Berlin outdoor pools, there was a temperature decline. In addition, the sighting of an alleged lioness that is supposed to run freely in Berlin caused excitement. The outdoor pool and nap debt was immediately replaced by the Löwen debate. It was discussed whether the Löwin really has such ears and whether you can still walk with the dachshund. It was also pointed out that a nationwide well -known clan, who has already presented a tiger baby at a wedding. Fortunately,

In our neighborhood, I have only reported a fox to view a fox. This stood in the middle of the garden and had the tail of a freshly killed rat in his mouth. So I wrote to my girlfriend from the south: "You see, we have done it again: With us in Berlin, the summer hole even has teeth!"
