paris, Rome, Kleinmachnow: Löwen-Posse makes a place world famous

Kleinmachnow: Overnight is a contemplative small town with the message about a torn Löwin - which was apparently only a wild boar - in the global news. Kleinmachnow in one breath with Washington, Moscow, Paris. The 20,000 inhabitants can hardly believe it. What kind of town is that about which everyone is now talking about?

The place in Brandenburg is an oasis of wellbeing for animals and humans. In the extensive forest settlement in the southwest of the capital, ten minutes from the banner of Wannsee, with huge gardens, old trees, ponds and lush hedges, the residents feel good. But also countless wild boars, deer, badgers, otter, marten, beaver, rare birds and a growing raccoon colony.

Kleinmachnow: charm of the small town at the gates of Berlin

The city was already a place for artists, intellectuals and modern builders in the 20s. Kurt Weill, Christa Wolff and the actor Matthias Brandt are among the many personalities who have fallen in front of the door to the charm of the small town with the metropolis of Berlin. Hildegard Knef also spent her last years here, in a small apartment with a view of the beautiful old oaks.

More millionaires than communists have long lived on Ernst-Thälmann-Straße.

Today only one fifth Kleinmachnower was born here, most of them traveled. More and more modest settlement houses are being demolished, replaced by large, expensive architectural villas. Rappers and clan bosses also discovered the charm of the city. While Bushido moved to Dubai, Arafat Abou-Chaker still resides in a huge villa on Zehlendorfer Damm and ensures conversation with the neighbors.

In Kleinmachnow there is Dry-Aged beef for 80 euros the kilo

There are all schools-from the Waldorf School in an old nursery to the expensive private school in Berlin-Brandeburg-International, in front of which the luxury limousines build in the morning to deliver the children of managers or diplomats. Kleinmachnow is ruled by SPD Mayor Michael Grubert, who can look forward to the high income tax revenue of his well-off residents, who also pay 80 euros for the kilo of Dry-Aged beef at the organic meat.

In the recent Bundestag election, the Greens were strongest in Kleinmachnow and the FDP three times as strong as the left party. The AfD, otherwise strong in Brandenburg, just managed 5.5 percent.

Why a lion could have solved Kleinmachnow's biggest problem

If a lioness had actually been stripped through the gardens of Kleinmachnow at night, it would have been sprinkled by automatic water sprinkles. In one of the numerous pools, she could have refreshed and perhaps be surprised about the many robotic lawnmowers who, like Heinzelmännchen, keep the lawn of the well -groomed gardens.
