A distinguished Hamburg suburb. No one seems to have noticed. But for 120 years, proto-Nazis, old-timers, and neo-Nazis, including the AfD, have been making pilgrimages here. My research penetrates German soil; the undead and the restlessness of Friedrichsruh come to light. The diachronic exploration of a place illuminates the country's history: What seems to be returning now was never buried in the first place.
