Fight against anorexia: Arne Bredemeyer tells of his path to healing

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, Minden-Lübbecke, Deutschland - Arne Bredemeyer, a 28-year-old man from Hille, fights against the devastating consequences of anorexia athletica, an extreme form of eating disorder. With a height of 1.83 meters, he then only weighed a frightening 40 kilograms. Since the age of twelve he has been regularly in clinics, trapped in a vicious circle of refusal to eat and excessive sport. Despite a painful fracture of fatigue in the foot caused by his addiction, he cannot overcome the inner coercion. This tragic story shows how serious and dangerous eating disorders can be.

Not only the fighters against eating disorders make talking about themselves. The Bünde Hospice Group, consisting of 53 committed volunteers, offers death care for people in their last hours of life. Beate Theiling, who has been with us for five years, and other volunteers are at the side of the dying to make it easier for you to let go through conversations and emotional support. Her motivation is often personal, shaped by her own losses, such as the death of Beate's father through cancer. This group shows how valuable and necessary human closeness is in the most difficult time of life.

car tuner under pressure

The car tuners from Minden-Lübbecke are faced with another problem: misunderstandings with the police. An insider reports that the tuners have difficulty finding suitable meeting points, since their gatherings are often perceived as suspicious. The police have repeatedly resolved meetings without registration, even though the tuners assert that nothing will happen illegal at their events. They even helped the police once when a girl was missing! These tensions between the tuner community and the law enforcement officers throw a lightly on the often negative image that the public has from this scene.
