Marie definitely doesn't want to be placed in the right-hand corner.
She doesn't know what the vaccination status has to do with right, left or middle, says the 24-year-old.
Marie is not vaccinated.
For them, the vaccines are not researched enough.
"And I don't want to be vaccinated to get my rights back," says the law student, who prefers not to reveal her last name.
Eventually she wants to be a prosecutor.
"I want to have my rights and then be free to choose whether to get vaccinated."
At university she keeps it to herself.
The fear of exclusion is too great.
You get the feeling of being worse than the others, "a second-class person".
Almost none of her fellow students think like Marie.
She meets her new friends at the rally in Stuttgart at the end of February.
They stand close together, laugh and drink knockers.
During "Students are getting up" Marie has the feeling that she is no longer alone.
This could be the happy ending.
But if Marie's life is a story, Andreas Zick is the antagonist.
Plans extend beyond the pandemic
"Myths of exclusion and victimization are an important part of group formations, especially in ideological radicalization processes," says the social psychologist and head of the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence at Bielefeld University.
"The cause is a feeling of powerlessness, a claim to power and influence, which then falls on ideological propaganda that says: Yes, you are powerless, you must not develop yourself, you are oppressed." That creates community - in demarcation everyone else, the guilty, the enemy.
A drastic plot twist compared to how romantic the affair sounded just a moment ago.
How radical is the group that affectionately calls its members "Staufis", goes skiing together and now has around 14,600 subscribers on Telegram?
"We are a group of young people who are critically questioning the current political situation," says the Instagram bio of the movement's nationwide account.
The "current political situation" means above all how to deal with the corona virus and "questioning" means rejecting the corona measures, in particular the G-Rules as a prerequisite for participating in university events.
On official posters, "Students Stand Up" demands the right to education and education without exclusion.
The students are also taking a stand against the introduction of compulsory vaccination against the coronavirus.
But the plans go beyond the pandemic.
The "Students Rise" logo features the phoenix rising from the ashes, symbolizing the revival of science.
A central slogan promotes "freedom for science, opinion and teaching", which the group does not see as guaranteed.
At first glance, despite polarizing positions, it doesn't look like a typical part of the "lateral thinking" scene, which regularly makes negative headlines with bullying angry citizens and violent riots.
On the contrary: the group is clearly trying to make a reasonable impression, repeatedly emphasizing the peaceful nature of their protest and their willingness to engage in dialogue.
