Translation 1: Freiburg

edit

Die Ausdehnung der Stadt in nordsüdlicher Richtung beträgt 18,6 Kilometer, in ostwestlicher Richtung 20 Kilometer. Von der Gemarkungsgrenze sind es bis zur Grenze nach Frankreich 3 Kilometer, bis zur Grenze mit der Schweiz 42 Kilometer. Freiburg weist einen Höhenunterschied von über 1000 Metern auf, von Waltershofen 196 m ü. NN bis zum Schauinsland 1284 m ü. NN.

Der Straßenname „Auf der Zinnen“ erinnert an die ehemalige Stadtmauer der Stadt. Etwa 200 Meter nördlich davon verläuft der 48. nördliche Breitengrad. Die Stelle ist auf beiden Seiten der Nord-Süd-Durchgangsstraße, die hier Habsburgerstraße heißt, durch eine Schrift in Pflastersteinen verschiedener Farben hervorgehoben, so dass die geografische Breite erkennbar ist.


The extension of the city amounts 18,6 kilometers in north-south and 20 kilometers in east-west direction. From the boundary, it is 3 kilometers to France and 42 kilometers to Switzerland. Freiburg has differences in height of over 1000 meters ranging from Waltershofen, 196 meters above sea level, to Schauinsland, 1284 meters above sea level.

The street name “Auf der Zinnen“ reminds of the former city wall. Roughly 200 meters north of it, the 48th degree of the northern latitude passes. This position is marked by an inscription in cobblestones of different colors on both sides of the North-South thoroughfare, which is called Habsburgerstraße here. Thus, the geographic latitude is apparent.

BESONDERHEITEN

Wie auch in seinen Videos vereinzelt thematisiert, leidet Prinz an Morbus Coats, einer seltenen angeborenen Augenkrankheit mit sichtbaren Erweiterungen und Veränderungen (Teleangiektasien) der Netzhautgefäße. Auf 100.000 Personen kommen etwa 1 bis 9 Erkrankungsfälle. Aus kosmetischen Gründen trägt er daher seit Ende 2012 ein Glasauge.

Mit etwa 170.000 Abonnenten zählt sein Youtube-Kanal als der größte Sachsen-Anhalts und der deutschen Metalszene und kann bisher mit diesem Alleinstellungsmerkmal über 22 Millionen Videoaufrufe verzeichnen. Auch über die deutsche Szene hinaus werden seine Videos wahrgenommen und als relevant betrachtet. Er ist geladener Gast bei vielen einschlägigen Veranstaltungen. In Interviews von Medienhäusern ist er oft Vertreter der jungen metalhörenden Generation.


As occasionally mentioned in his videos, Prinz suffers from Morbus Coats, a rare degenerative eye disease accompanied by visible enlargements and modifications (Teleangiektasie) of the retinal vessels. Roughly 1 to 9 out of 100 000 people develop the disease. He wears a glass eye for cosmetic reasons since the end of 2012.

With roughly 172 000 subscribers, his Youtube channel ranks as the largest of Saxony-Anhalt [6] and the German metal scene [7] and is able to register more than 44 million video views due to its unique feature. His videos have also gained attention across the borders of Germany [8]. He is an invited guest at various relevant events. Regarding interviews of media companies, he often acts as a representative of the young generation listening to metal music [9] [10] [11] [12]

TRIVIA

Der Name „Der dunkle Parabelritter“ spielt auf ein Ereignis in seiner Schulzeit an, bei dem er in einer Freistunde beim Ritter-Spiel neben einem Zeigestock als Schwert eine Parabelschablone als Schild zweckentfremdete.

The name „Der dunkle Parabelritter“ hints at an event of his school days in which he misued a pointer as a Schwert and a Parabelschablone as a Schild while playing Ritter in a free hour. [13]

Translation 3: The Kangaroo Chronicles

edit

THE PSYCHIATRIST

Since the very first volume, the narrator keeps appointments with his psychiatrist regularly and tells him about his adventures with the kangaroo. The psychiatrist interprets the existence of the kangaroo as a hallucination of the narrator until he brings the kangaroo to an appointment. On the strength of that, the psychiatrist has a nervous breakdown, undergoes medical treatment himself, represses the existence of the kangaroo and keeps trying to convince the I-narrator of its nonexistence. The fact that the psychiatrist rips diverse statements of the I-narrator out of its context and interprets them as romantic advances becomes another running gag. In doing so, his reaction is not averse, but he keeps affirming that his professional ethics prevent him from getting to know his patients privately.

STAGE/THEATRE

A first theatre play of the Kangaroo Chronicles by Isabelle Chastenier and Benjamin Muth was staged at the Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater in Annaberg-Buchholz in 2015. After that, guest performances in, inter alia, Berlin (Brotfabrik), Dresden (Johannstadthalle) and Freiburg (Wallgraben-Theater) followed. [14] In 2016, Hans Schernthaner adapted the book for the stage. Under his direction the Kangaroo Chronicles were staged at the Altonaer Theater. The cast consisted of Stephan Möller-Titel as Marc-Uwe and Robert Zimmermann as the kangaroo. [15]

MOVIE

In October 2018, the making of the film started. The movie was produced by X-Film and the ZDF. It was directed by Dani Levy. Marc-Uwe Kling took responsibility for the script. The film should have been in the cinemas by the end of 2019, but the cinema release was postponed until the 5 March of 2020. [16][17]

Translation 4 (final project): The Perfect Secret

edit

The Perfect Secret is a German film comedy made in 2019 by director and screenwriter Bora Dagtekin. The ensemble film is a remake of the Italian movie Perfetti Sconosciuti (‘Complete strangers’) by Paolo Genovese from the year 2016 which was remade in numerous countries already. The movie deals with seven friends who put their trust on each other to the test during a joint dinner by making a deal which says that all incoming messages and calls on their Handys have to be shared with all attendants. The tragicomic Kammerspiel was produced by the Constantin Film Produktion. Alongside Lena Schömann, Dagtekin also acted as a producer of the movie. The making of the film took place in München and Geretsried from January to March of 2019. For the cast, Karoline Herfurth, Elyas M’Barek, Florian David Fitz, Jella Haase, Frederick Lau, Jessica Schwarz and Wotan Wilke Möhring could be engaged. The publication of the movie in German cinemas followed on the 31 October 2019. The Perfect Secret received mixed reviews.

PLOT / STORY

The couple Eva and Rocco invite their friends to their family penthouse in Munich for dinner. Even before the guests arrive, the therapist Eva and her adolescing Teenager daughter Sophie argue after Eva found condoms in her daughter’s bag and confronted her with it. Sophie, who is on the way to her boyfriend Mike and has an increasingly strained relationship with her mother, who is addicted to control, feels dominated by Eva. Her father, Rocco, who is usually able to mediate between the two, is busy with something else: While the hobby cook makes preparations for the dinner, he receives sexually explicit Selfies of a friend on his mobile phone. Eva, who observes her husband secretly for a while already, is suspicious, but does not find out about it.
