Abstract

Spaziergang hinter dem Gundhof. Leichter Regen, Friedhof, Wildschweine in Bedrängnis. Zuviel Flughafen. Alte Mauern dennoch. Und die Rollbahn. Unter den Lichtern der hochmodernen Anlage, die aber die Geschichte der 1700 ungarischen Frauen, die im Sommer deportiert worden waren und im Winter hier Zwangsarbeit leisten mussten, nicht ausbleichen können. In ihren Sommerkleidern haben die Frauen in der Kälte eine Rollbahn gebaut, die leeren Zementsäcke zum Schutz vor dem Wind unter die zerschlissenen Blumenmuster geschoben. Wenn das entdeckt wurde.

Colonial Architecture is made looking so sterile here. Even though plaster is coming off the walls, giving way to older plaster to come off later, and even though the coral stone that is underneath the plaster reveals all the life and living that has lead to its existence, it is still not alive. This might be because it all is so much stripped off the traces and imprints of those who had been here, who built this or were forced to work and live in it. The castle, which is called a fort, is void of any of such traces except that what is kept in the archive where we will not go. I think the guide knows.
