Of your readers on Twitter Charlotte Theile adopted with two pictures from Zurich: seven waste paper pile, accurately bundled. Byebye #Switzerland #ademerci #love always.

It is not so, that the four years with us, would have been the time in Zurich, without effect, in the case of the Switzerland correspondent of the "süddeutsche Zeitung", short SZ. The Ex-Switzerland correspondent.

Switzerland trust

Charlotte Theile, grew up in East Germany, knew of the Switzerland, as the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" she sent as a correspondent to Zurich. Her father is from Basel, Theile itself has the Swiss passport. She was 26, she went directly to the completion of your internship.

previously, she was often here during the holidays, earlier in the case of her grandmother in Basel, and later with her aunt in Thusis, again and again, for skiing, then as a student for a Semester at the University of Berne, and French, she also speaks. "Switzerland," she says, "I have in me." Because: "Here, I'm not completely lost."

Theile soon realized: she was often in Switzerland, from the country, but actually have little idea. And so they began to look to Switzerland to be processed. The more she wrote, the more cracks got your image of Switzerland – but this also means: The "perfect" Switzerland was interesting. Theile threw a look of your own home. They are Packed in beautiful stories, writes beautiful sentences. Some read like brief responses about our country.

As Charlotte Theile reported by the now failed attempt of the unconditional basic income in Rheinau. As in the multi-purpose hall pushing. The multi-purpose hall – many of them have you seen in the past four years, says Theile.

you attended community meetings, information events and political podiums. It traveled politicians in order to understand the system of direct democracy. In the first years it was mainly the SVP, the employees Theile. Roger Köppel, the made in 2015 to be the national Council.

The hall of Aesch, a small municipality in the Canton of Zurich, is already half an hour before the start of the new chairs have to be brought in. The paper-politicians, SZ, 11. March 2015

she was amazed when she heard Roger Köppel, or Andreas Glarner talk, popular, friendly, but in the statement tough. "It was a reality that seemed to be for Germany would be unthinkable." Meanwhile, the reality has overtaken Germany, the reality in Switzerland.

Theile experienced the proximity to the people, because they came to the politicians close to them. On the outskirts of the halls, they chatted with them, she was with Christoph Blocher home in herrliberg, and his daughter, in the office in Ems. 2017 Theile published the book "Is the AfD to stop the Switzerland as a model", by traced the development in Germany and the Parallels between the SVP and the AfD pointed out. "Then," says Theile and shrugs of the shoulder, "I was invited to the summer festival of the "world week"."

In the prison-professionals

the SVP Was at the beginning of their time as a correspondent is the defining issue, was looking for you later, the thematic width. Sure, there's subjects you cannot get around. The thing with the strong Swiss franc, a number of initiatives, Trump in Davos, finally, once a Federal Council election. In addition, Theile wrote about everything that interested them.

It seems that can't go wrong, as were in the prison of Lenzburg Pro-guard to a professional institution-prisoners. Men who know what is expected of them. Schöner Wohnen, SZ, 5. February 2018

What to convey the texts often: something like a General impression of Switzerland. Because Theile sees it, the peculiarities of the country to work out and to put them in a larger context. If Charlotte Theile talks about it, you get the feeling that you haven't learned the country better, but also a bit dear. And the Swiss at the same time. The Swiss, whose discussion of culture they admired, because it is still enjoyable, if two not of the same opinion. The Swiss, the concrete like so much. And:
