Exploring the Heidelberg Mindset with Eckart Würzner
Nearly 36 years ago, Heidelberg welcomed my family and me warmly. I could go to school safely, complete my Abitur, study and much more. I am endlessly grateful for that privilege and never take it for granted 💯
I wondered how to capture the Heidelberg mindset on my podcast. The city has an extraordinary atmosphere. Beyond being internationally known for tourism and students, it takes on major responsibilities, such as voluntarily providing a refugee arrival centre for Baden-Württemberg.
Who better to discuss this with than my favourite city’s mayor? Thank you to Professor Dr Eckart Würzner for his time!
We covered other subjects relevant to these challenging times, and I learned a great deal.
The podcast, to be released soon, was recorded in the magnificent main town-hall chamber.
