Ansprache bei der öffentlichen Funeral in Schwäbisch Hall:

Today we commemorate Memorial Day go especially to Reinhard and Chris. We still see quite vividly before us. Both have been long time visitors to the POINT. And if you look as long known, a growing familiarity with each other. Both were dear to us and both have the strength for survival is no longer enough. When we learn of her death we were shocked and very, very sad. The other three dead were no visitors in the POINT, but we do remember them today. You and we are all sons and daughters of one God. He wrote us a deep longing for fulfillment, love and meaning to the heart. That drives us on our Life. But some of us get away with it is not clear. They feel their longing to be a disappointment and pain in her soul. The pain they sell drugs and the desire to meet with volatile noise. But soon they take the drugs only, not to have to suffer the pain of withdrawal. From early to late they are on the hunt for drugs or money order to be able to buy the drugs. - A miserable life, lose the most of himself.

It is fortunate for many that there is the substitution program that will help them to slowly find a way out of addiction out. Under medical supervision support they get the substitute drug, and social workers this effort. But for many this remains closed path of hope, because only very few Aärtze are willing to accept this treatment. And the district of Schwäbisch Hall, the responsibility for health care has held, was still not able to close the gap in the substitution. In my estimation, are missing in the district at least 300 seats substitution. Sun tow, many seriously ill drug addicts to doctors in neighboring counties. Others get on the road on your own replacement drug. And vile remain on the track. Your life force is depleted, her weakened body does with any longer.

Sun is Chris and Reinhard and all other day our memory. The more than 30 white crosses with their names and lit candles to remember that they used to be nice people, their parents, their Partnetrinnen and partners and for us. Each individual had a unique face and a big dream in your heart.

We mourn for the dead, but we care for the living. For them, we hope that in our county, the substitution treatment will be available soon to all who need them, and that is also in Baden-Wuerttemberg introduced the substitution with medical heroin soon after the federal government has now made possible. A good substitution treatment wird das Leben vieler Drogenabhängiger retten. Aber nicht nur das, es wird ihnen ein Leben in Würde ermöglichen, ohne Prostitution, ohne Kriminalität, ohne psychische und soziale Verelendung.
