Home:
Wherever it is good, that’s my home.
Cicero
Home is, what everyone remembers form childhood but where no-one has ever been.
Ernst Bloch
Home is the place where one has to let oneself in when one comes back.
Robert Lee Frost
Home is not the place, rather the community of emotions.
Floor inscriptions in the Contempory Gallery in Hamburg
Your home is not where you recognise the trees but where the trees recognise you.
Sibirian saying
All beings are immortal because their real home is somewhere else.

Kamenko Culap, participating musiscian in a TV interview
„We have recent memories of the war and I think, that art particularly can help heal these emotions. Some of the war will always remain. Everyone who had to experience the war has very deep memories. But music can go deeper. “

the abuse of domestic emotions, today, as for 200 years.“

Letter from the public:
„Dear Mr and Mrs Töppe-Zenker, Sir and Madam, I CANNOT BE GLAD ENOUGH ABOUT, … how much the idea of heimat has made a positive change. Only in the sense of a classic human misunderstanding and a “narrow mindedness” is the notion of homeland against one another. It is not about only the home of one or the home of the other being possible, and it isn’t about ABOLISHING ALL NATIONALITIES (as is sometimes initially understood). It is much more about the home of one and the home of the other doing well and being well understood next to each other, co-operatively – in their own way and in the broadest sense of life as they suggest….Thank you for everthing! yours sincerely Helmut Krüger, Potsdam“
