Point Alpha ein. Die Vorst\u00e4nde Benedikt Stock und Philipp Metzler begr\u00fc\u00dften den Juristen am Haus auf der Grenze. In einer \u00dcberblicksf\u00fchrung lernte Simon nicht nur das Gel\u00e4nde, sondern auch die Angebote der Point Alpha Stiftung und ihrer Akademie kennen.<\/p>\n

Der Blick von Sven Simon geht ins ehemalige Sperrgebiet von Th\u00fcringen.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mit Philipp Metzler diskutierte Sven Simon, wie oder ob sich die Vergangenheit in der aktuellen Konfliktsituation in der Ukraine spiegele. Die Diskussion zeigte, dass man an einem Ort wie Point Alpha unterschiedliche Auffassungen vertreten und austauschen kann. Neben der welt- und sicherheitspolitischen Gesamtwetterlage erregten die regionalgeschichtlichen Facetten der Dauerausstellung die Aufmerksamkeit des Europapolitikers. An diesen zeige sich, wie der Kalte Krieg und die deutsche Teilung in den Alltag der Menschen vor Ort einwirkte, sagte Benedikt Stock.<\/p>\n

Bei fr\u00fchlingshaften Temperaturen lief das Trio entlang der rekonstruierten Grenzsperranlagen zum historischen US Camp \u201eOP Alpha\u201c. Vom Beobachtungsturm aus blickte Simon \u00fcber die ehemalige innerdeutsche Grenze hinweg nach Geisa. \u201eDass die US-Amerikaner so nah an der Grenze stationiert waren, wusste ich nicht\u201c, gab der Politiker zu Protokoll und verdeutlichte damit das gro\u00dfe Gl\u00fcck, dass der Observation Post nach dem Abzug der US-Soldaten und einer Nachnutzung durch Gefl\u00fcchtete erhalten geblieben ist. Mit einer Begehung des historischen Ortes und einem Austausch \u00fcber tagesaktuelle Fragen der Politik endete der Besuch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”50792″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_caption=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”50796″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” img_link_caption=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
