Thomas Thumann wanted his town hall employees to be paid decently. Now the mayor of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz has to answer for infidelity. About a difficult process – with Donnerhall.
Nuremberg district court, accused of household embezzlement is Thomas Thumann, the mayor of Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. The first witness has just sat down when there is loud thunder outside. This process is about administrative legal finesse, but at the moment you can’t help but think of the “literary quartet” on ZDF. In his greatest moment, Marcel Reich-Ranicki was filleting a novel by Martin Walser when there was a colossal thunder. Whereupon the critic raised his hands to heaven and lamented: “Well – one should still be allowed to say something against Walser!”
