'S Wiesenhendl

The Munich Oktoberfest, the 'Wiesn', is in the eyes of many strangers a fair of oddities, the symbol of an abstruse way of life in general. This is how the author sees this annual hustle and bustle and weaves an equally bizarre event around it, which focuses on the love of a Munich exterminator for the daughter of a Saxon high school teacher. He equips the story with a monstrous inventory of secondary characters, who provide plenty of linguistic and social misunderstandings.

Theo

Theo, the lead singer of a Nazi band, is about to play the most important concert of his career. But then he is involved in a serious car accident. The driver of the car is Mahmoud, who is about to be naturalized. Mahmoud panics and, fearing the possible consequences, commits a hit-and-run. In hospital, Theo is diagnosed with a particularly severe form of "foreign language accent syndrome"; he is suddenly only able to speak Arabic. Ironically, Mahmoud becomes his attending physician. Theo tries to blackmail Mahmoud into teaching him German. Otherwise, Theo threatens to report Mahmoud to the police, which would jeopardize his naturalization. Suddenly Theo's band turns up at the hospital and the situation spirals out of control. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

In Nöchling, things tick a little differently. Gossip flourishes here – and when the two village policemen aren't smoking pot, they roar through the countryside in their three-wheeled "Polizia" car (sic!). But dark clouds are gathering over the idyll: The "Ostamt" (Eastern Office), which has long since lost its "P" (signature), is threatened with closure. The two postal workers give in to their booze and get into an argument with the local butcher's son-in-law. The next day, the man has disappeared – and the policemen, who have apparently watched too many "CSI" episodes, begin their momentous, but nonetheless flawed, investigation. Yes, and there's even something resembling a love story.

Dom'z sütü

On the evening of their arrival in the Swabian province, which has been touted to them as the "promised land of work," three young Turks, Erol, Mehmet, and Ümmet, arrive at a migrant workers' bar. There they meet the charming Lena, who lives in the apartment across from them and shows them to their lodgings. In their room, they find a milk bottle with a large pig on it. Do Germans really drink pig's milk? Without any knowledge of German, it proves extremely difficult to verify Ümmet's grim premonition.
