Video lecture in Winterlingen: father and son time in Middle-earth and the mystery of the wall BH – Albstadt and surroundings

Winterlingen – “From tomorrow I won’t have to go to school anymore!” For Andreas Seltmann, the announcement of his son Tim, then 17, came like a bolt from the blue on Monday evening at the snack table. Should his son have failed because of the school system on his way to obtaining a technical college entrance qualification? Denzlinger, who grew up in Frohnstetten, told VR Bank Heuberg-Winterlingen about the rector’s visit, his realization that his son will start an apprenticeship when he graduates, the “magician” in the training firm, and he is Tim “as a human being”, but he told him he should start his apprenticeship vocational “as if in school.”

His time as protector is over

But Tim had 30 days between his Excel course and his vacation job—a chance for his son and dad to take a break together at the end of the world, about which Seltmann wrote a wonderful book, Newsi Sunland. He didn’t read from it at all on a Thursday evening, but he would tell stories and sometimes show pretty pictures with just the right music.

For example, from the cloud-free Mount Cook, New Zealand’s highest mountain, where Seltman realizes that his time as protector is over and that the 3,700-kilometre journey in a chariot through the South and North Islands succeeds only if father and son meet “at eye level”. Or about Tim’s 18th birthday in “Fjordland” and the cake brought for him by the owner of the cellar to the applause of all the guests who immediately sang for Tim. What did Seltman learn from this? “There are people you don’t even know are your friends!” It was a “magic moment”.

Suddenly in the middle of Middle-earth

And then, of course, The Special Middle-earth Experiment: “The Lord of the Rings” — Seltman is a huge fan of JRR Tolkien’s mega-seller — was filmed mostly in New Zealand. “You’re suddenly in the middle of it!” the author exulted. Getting his son to trust him to navigate the rugged 309’s off-road Empowering Dad – A dolphin has changed his life as he looks at him with one eye as he rides on a ship: “What are you really doing here?” The marketing director of a medium-sized company asked himself this question – and decided to take the step into self-employment as a business manager, consultant and lecturer.

There is more to the story than the experience report

On the other hand, the idea to write a book came to Seltmann only at home. Because he notes that there is more to it than a travel report and an experience report: “It is also a social issue,” the father knows, because “our boys,” surrounded by “wonderful mothers, teachers, and educators,” need their fathers to make them men.

The first Saturday in July is reserved

“Since then, you’ve treated me like a man,” Tim Seltman tells his father today as they recall their 30-day break. Since then, the first Saturday in July has belonged only to the two of them – to have fun together. That his daughter also have “her” day with dad: of course. His advice to all parents: “If you’re there, be there!” Subtitle: Cell Phones and Other Distractions Are Off!

How does a good thing come out of a joke?

Using the Thera-Band, Seltmann showed that a healthy alternation between tension and relaxation is required in this relationship—and then solved the mystery of what bra fencing is all about in one of his photos: Three New Zealand women got it first. Hanging bras just for fun. “Then more and more came, and in the meantime the Breast Cancer Foundation set up a donation fund there.” Something really good came out of a joke.
