SecondA rainy day at the northern end of Frankfurt. 72-year-old Hilde and Edgar Schmidt (Hilde) and Edgar Schmidt (Edgar Schmidt) actually have a different name, they are disappointed in their apartment, luckily they have not yet Sold and considered a collapsed housing project.
When they decided to rent an apartment for senior citizens with three married couples in beautiful Wiesbaden, everything they imagined was so beautiful. No longer alone like retired couples, but fun and lively discussion groups together.Exchange ideas with each other, have a drink and talk in the evening wine, They believe that in the future, there may be a Sunday morning breakfast, communal cooking, etc. where six people socialize. But her dream was shattered like colorful balloons in the hands of children.
Hans N. and Hans M. of Schwalbach dealt with Schmidts’ actions. These two “healthy” retirees H and H (they call themselves) have been providing services and support to people seeking help in their daily lives for many years. However, they were skeptical of Schmidt’s plan from the beginning. Both of her clients seemed to be too hasty and uncritical. “There is only one topic,” Hans N said. “They are full of praise for the new stage of their lives. They only see the benefits of the future lifestyle and do not accept any refutation.”
Good idea with a lot of wine
Three years ago, the Schmidt family met a lively round table in a tavern in Rheingau. Two couples of the same age immediately gave them a place, a big “hello” sounded, and soon there was a loud laugh, Usky and Uli, Hilde and Edgar, and Hai Tey and Walter are toasting to each other. The three ladies giggled and revealed some little secrets. Every time they drank a cup of “Johannisberger Harvest Brothers”, the heads of the three gentlemen became a bit redder, and their wives slowly switched to grape juice because they later Had to drive her husband home.
Just when everyone was about to leave, Walter exasperated and yelled: “Girls, listen, what do you think of the idea of building a retirement apartment that we get along so well?” He added, “Of course Heidi will. I am very happy.”
The entrepreneur who owns a famous villa in Nerobergviertel in Wiesbaden actually speaks of a mood that sounds like wine happiness. Since then, everyone involved has enthusiastically embodied This vision. He will use his spacious house as his residence. Each couple has their own living room, sleeping area and sanitary area, and they use the lounge and large kitchen together. In retrospect, this was a serious mistake.
Democratic voting against conflict
At some point, the four of them actually moved in Heidi and Wolfgang. Everything went well in the beginning. The first few months of living together are characterized by mutual consideration, tolerance, and compliance with the rules. Shopping together, hiking, city trips, going to cinemas and theaters also strengthened the team spirit.

But in all things, when it comes to smokers and non-smokers, a small white stick quickly ignites a spark of excitement, protest, and conflict.
Uli and Wolfgang are continuous smokers, and the smell of tobacco has made others “smelly” a lot for a long time. After a democratic vote, it was clearly announced: No matter what the weather is, you can breathe fresh air, and there will no longer be blue fog in public kitchens and group lounges.
