The House Visit: One Who Stays in the East
This feature article profiles Sebastian Hüller, a 25-year-old IT specialist and Green party staffer in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. While many young people leave eastern Germany, Hüller chooses to stay. He organizes Christopher Street Day parades, plans queer parties, and is running for the Schwerin state parliament. The article describes his shared apartment, his work as an IT admin and works council chairman, and his weekend visits to the village of Witzin, where he participates in a traditional duck-walk fundraiser. It also touches on his grandmother's experience as a left-hander who was forced to hide it, drawing a parallel to queer identity. The piece highlights themes of community, volunteerism, and the challenges and opportunities of living in a region with economic decline.
