Recordist's notes
Rudi Franke Herold and Stefan Reuss take us on a guided tour through Weetfeld after our interview recording in the Old School. It’s an icy wind outside, and we decide to go by car together. Marcos da Costa Melo of FUgE (Forum for the Environment and Equitable Development) who had listened quietly to our recording joins us. Our tour traces the borders of former building plans and current developments. The Lanfermannweg was the Northern border of the former development plans leading right up to the Old School of the village, which we just left… once the sounds of a local forge would be heard around here… Nach unserem Gespräch in der Alten Schule, nehmen uns Rudi Franke Herold und Stefan Reuss mit auf eine Führung vor Ort. Es ist ein eisiger Wind draussen, und wir entschliessen uns, die Tour mit dem Auto zu machen. Marcos da Costa Melo (Geschäftsführer von FUgE), der unseren Tonaufnahmen schweigend lauschte, ist nun auch dabei. Unsere Tour durch Weetfeld folgt den Grenzen des ehemaligen Suchraum, des jetzigem Bebauungsplan und derzeitiger Entwicklungen… Am Lanfermannweg, der Nördlichen Grenze des ehemalingen Suchraumes…. http://www.weetfeld.de “Citizen Association Against the Destruction of the Weetfeld Environment” (Bürgergemeinschaft gegen die Zerstörung der Weetfelder Landschaft)
