What makes for good coexistence? Using the small town of Prenzlau as an example, Simon Strauß explores how community can succeed, when it fails, and what political significance proximity holds. What power does a shared belief in a physical place have? Is there still such a thing as a shared sky, or is everyone just reaching for their own stars now? A book that combines the author's knowledge of the first urban citizenship in antiquity with his curiosity about the problems of our present day. His powers of observation with his enthusiasm. The significance of proximity is first considered empathetically here – and then examined realistically.
