Matthias Egersdörfer: Nachrichten aus dem Hinterhaus

Go through the large entrance door of the apartment building, then straight on through the gate. Now they are in the backyard, to the left of them the trash cans, which smell sometimes less, sometimes more. Right behind them is the entrance to the back building. In front of you is now the red entrance door. Behind it lives the Egers with the woman.

Come in! In the back of the apartment, he is lying in bed and dreaming his funny news. Come into the kitchen, where he has just eaten a cheese sandwich, you can still smell the cheese. One floor below, the Bahulgen children and the child mother are bawling; it's about the fire bugs from the Bub that are running around in bed, they are bawling so loudly that the synapses almost fall out of your ears. Quickly the Egersdörfer closes the window again and there he has discovered you.

But they don't need to be afraid, he doesn't hurt them. He even makes them a cup of coffee. All you have to do is sit down at the kitchen table and listen to him, and he'll tell you all about the cough and the bugs, and what other news there is from the back house. He's a good storyteller and you're the perfect audience.
