Hallo. Sie sehen Interview Project Germany.
Heute treffen wir Karl.
Karl half dem Team aus der Klemme bei
der Kapelle der Sieben Schmerzen.
Viel Spaß beim Interview.
So, I am Karl Steinhart. I live in Buchenbach. I was
born at the Kapphof on July 28, 1946. Yes.
And my father was a farmer, too,
and so I was born on the farm.
As a child I was, let’s say …
Well, from early on, so at the age of 10 or 12,
we already had to go out with the oxen.
So, we had to ride the carriage with father in the fields
and tend the sheep on the hill over there.
So, it wasn’t, that we …
Well, it was a nice time nonetheless,
but we always had to work.
I didn’t have a …
The car I got not until I was 21.
We got our driver’s licenses, me and my sister
and then father bought us a car.
And then we went to dances and I met
my wife, she was from Horben.
Well, then we got married and then my son was born,
then a daughter. Altogether we have three children.
And, now they’re all already married themselves.
And so we’ve managed the farm together until …
Grandma passed away in 2000.
And …
Yeah, now I’ve leased it to my son.
Next year I’ll turn 65, and then I’ll get my pension.
Now I still get early retirement.
The pre-pension.
So, I'm not a grump or anything. Sometimes I sing in the
morning, when I wake up, a little ditty or something. That is …
Then I’m, let’s say …
I’m just joyous then.
That’s just inherent, so to speak.
I always say it like it is now, [rhyming] “Enjoy life continuously,
cause’ you’re dead longer than you’re alive,” right?
Desires?
Desires you can …
I don’t know, you could just say, this and this …
But I say, money doesn’t make you happy.
It just appeases you.
And, the more money you would have, I think,
the bigger mistakes you make.
That way you can’t make any mistakes if you don’t have
any money, or, if you don’t have that much money.
And I say, I’m a person who’s always satisfied.
