In the heart of a small community somewhere in northwestern Germany lies an inconspicuous, but nevertheless impressive, residential building, behind the walls of which a tragic family fate unfolded for years and decades, culminating in a sad climax.

A family of five lived here for many years. Lothar was a trained pharmacist by profession, but later made a career as a managing director of a pharmaceutical company. Hildegard worked as a representative for pharmaceutical products. It was probably this common environment in which they met, fell in love and finally got married in December 1941. Together with their three children, they lived in quite upscale conditions, until at some point the children moved out and the parents went to their well-deserved retirement. Unfortunately, this should be quite different than they had hoped and deserved. It became a struggle for survival and a fight against time.

Lothar was severely ill with cancer in his old age, was thus bedridden, but nursed home by Hildegard until his death. For two years she lived alone in the big house and despite a very close contact with her daughter, she was overwhelmed by the situation. At some point the contact broke off, in vain the daughter tried to reach her mother. So she went into the house to check on her. She found Hildegard dead in the attic. She had hanged herself with a rope.

Later, the daughter packed a few personal belongings, since then, none of the children has allegedly managed to enter the house. The tragic loss of both parents weighs too heavy - and that’s why everything was left behind!
