This is the location:

Even sober words can have enormous explosive power.

A sentence by Robert Schäfer, President of the Hessian State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, spoken on Monday may illustrate this.

"The threat from extremism is currently greater than I have ever experienced in my personal forty-eight-year career," said Schäfer at the presentation of the Hessian intelligence report for 2021. The number of extremists in the state has risen for the fourth time in a row;

The report counts 13,680 people among them, including right-wing and left-wing extremists and Islamists.

Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) spoke of a worrying development and: The greatest threat continues to be right-wing extremism. Interesting in this context:


The Rhein-Main-Zeitung reports and comments.

Behind the scenes:

Lots of ideas, high hopes, harsh judgments – this is the mix that thrives on the TV format “Die Höhle der Löwen” (The Lion’s Den), in which those wanting to found a company vie for the interest of investors: for setting up businesses with nipple covers, for example.

"My life in Germany began with a bit of a bee sting," they say.

The new novel by the author, who was born in Kazakhstan in 1978 and came to Germany at the age of twelve as a child of German late settlers, deals with the horrors of German and Soviet history.

Florian Balke introduces "We don't understand what's happening" and the author, who will be reading at the Literaturhaus Frankfurt on Thursday, as well.
