It was a special evening.
The evening on which the grandchild was allowed to spend the night alone with the grandparents for the first time.
The Kassel District President Walter Lübcke was sitting alone on the terrace, in his gray dungarees and plaid shirt, his tablet in hand.
While people in Wolfhagen-Istha were having fun at the fair just a few hundred meters away, Walter Lübcke was shot in the head.
In the trial of Walter Lübcke's alleged murderer and his alleged helper, the wife of the killed politician must take the stand on this 30th day of the main hearing.
The State Security Senate has questions for Irmgard Braun-Lübcke.
How was the chair, how was the table, where was the glass?
Where was the tablet?
What kind of person was Walter Lübcke?
What does his death mean for the family?
What plans did he have?
What was his political attitude towards the refugees who came to Germany?
Irmgard Braun-Lübcke remembers a "weather-wise wonderful" June 1st, 2019. She and her husband were very happy because their grandchild was to stay with them overnight.
Walter Lübcke sat with a priest friend, first on the wall in front of the house, and later on the terrace.
The two would have laughed a lot.
"It was a wonderful mood."
