Rolf Horst Seiler's story fascinates and depresses me in equal measure. I met him several times in Seeberg, where he found a home after many years of wandering. I had to earn his trust through countless hours of conversation – but the enormous effort was worth it. After the publication, I received a great deal of feedback, especially from people who thanked me for taking the time to tell Seiler's story. Blick and Beobachter have reported on him before, but not in this depth, never to this extent. Yet it is a life story that deserves to be told.
