00:0099-year-old Günther and 17-year-old Felix are out for the afternoon, taking a stroll around their hometown.
00:13Felix and his classmates visit Günthers care home and take their older friends on trips around town
00:18as part of a project to bring young and old together.
00:39The initiative is called Together Against Loneliness and was started by a school student. Today the group are meeting a
00:45local historian, a chance for the youngsters to learn and for their companions to reminisce.
00:50I have Günther totally in my heart geschlossen. We learn from each other and we can also have fun with
00:56each other.
00:57They hear stories from us, we hear stories from the old ones. It's really cool to hear what they used
01:03to be used for before.
01:05Last year the project won the German neighborhood prize in the generations category in recognition of bridge building between young
01:12and old,
01:13like Felix and Günther, 72 years apart but united in companionship.
01:18Günther Grünberg ist jetzt schon 1999 und finde ich ein echt Bombenalter, wenn man das so sagen kann.
01:24Immer auf Augenhöhe, mit Respekt und so. Unterhalten wir uns auch gerne stundenlang.
01:29Vielen Dank.
01:29Vielen Dank.
01:30Wir sehen uns auch noch.
01:32Ein Moment.
01:33Vielen Dank.
