Humans

This category explores what it means to be human from the inside out. It focuses on consciousness, perception, memory, emotion, and the way we experience reality through thought and feeling. Rather than viewing humans only from a biological or external perspective, this section looks at the inner landscape – the world we construct within ourselves every day, often without noticing it.

Musiala – The Human Being

For a Few Seconds, Only the Human Being Remains There is hardly anything left in modern football that cannot be measured. Running patterns are tracked, sprints counted, physical loads compared, sleep monitored, nutrition optimised. A player’s body is observed, trained, protected and analysed in areas a coach thirty years ago probably did not even know […]

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 7 – THE TRIAL

Part 1 – The First Day of the Trial At the end of this story, there will be a verdict. What that verdict will be, even the author does not yet know. This time, the outcome will not be decided first, followed by a story carefully constructed to lead us there. This time, it will

When the Sky Was Still Full of Gods

Someone Has to Be Responsible, After All Life wasn’t easy for humans in ancient times. Thunder rolled across the sky, and nobody knew why. The sky suddenly went dark even though it was the middle of the day. The ground began to shake, mountains spat fire, diseases appeared out of nowhere, and every now and

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 6

I have been dealing with this case for quite some time now. I have read newspaper reports, compared press releases, looked up laws, placed statements side by side, formulated questions for authorities and probably watched those 55 seconds more often than I would have liked. And yet something strange keeps happening. The more I learn

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 5 – From Suspicion to the Formal Charge

This article returns to the beginning of the Schmotzer case. Not with the knowledge of what would later happen in court, but from the perspective of the time itself. What matters at every stage is only what was known, verifiable and capable of being substantiated at that particular moment. The investigation we follow on this

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 4

Between Unanswered Questions, Public Anger and a Rule of Law Under Pressure Four acquittals. An immediate waiver of appeal by the public prosecutor’s office. A final judgment. At least in criminal-law terms, that could have been the end of the Schmotzer case. Yet since 4 August 2026, the exact opposite has happened. The case is

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 3

Who Was Entitled to Decide That Schmotzer Had to Die? The acquittal is final. On 4 August 2026, four men were acquitted by the Innsbruck Regional Court of the charge of animal cruelty. The public prosecutor’s office waived its right to appeal. The criminal proceedings are therefore over. But the legal examination of what happened

THE SCHMOTZER CASE 2

Prologue – A Cat Who Refuses to Disappear from the Headlines Under normal circumstances, the story of Schmotzer would probably have already begun to fade from public attention. That is how our news cycle works. An event shocks us, thousands comment on it, social media erupts – and a few days later, the next story

THE GREATER WONDER

How the people of Miniatur Wunderland turned an idea into a world Finished works can impress me, and sometimes even overwhelm me. Even so, my attention rarely remains fixed for long on something that already stands before me in its completed form. After a while, I want to know how it came into being. Who

Why Cats Capture Our Hearts and Why We Never Truly Forget Them

Some connections simply happen Some of the most meaningful relationships in our lives begin in the most ordinary ways.Not with a grand event. Not with a moment we immediately recognise as important. Sometimes it begins with a small creature walking through a door, choosing a place, and quietly becoming part of our lives. A cat
