"Hartz and warm": Pascal is a fan favorite of the social documentary in Mannheim.
He sat in a wheelchair for many years, but never lost heart.
Why he can walk again:
The Waldhof district of Mannheim is a focal point – this is where the residents of the Benz barracks live, a former workers' settlement.
The RTLZWEI sodzialdocu "Hartz und Herzen" has been delighting viewers for five years now.
Neighborhood cohesion, warmth and community are very important here, as MANNHEIM24 reports.

"Hartz and cordial" from the Benz barracks: Pascal suffers from illness - and therefore has a walking disability
Unemployment and money worries: The "Hartz und cordial" actor Pascal knows these problems only too well.
But these seem minor compared to his burdensome medical history.
The Benz Barackler suffers from a paresis.
"I had a blood clot and a stroke in my brain when I was born," Pascal reveals in an interview with YouTuber "MM One".
The Mannheimer was born too early.
In addition, the tendons on his knees did not grow with him - which is why he walked in a stooped position.
"Hartz and cordial": Pascal is characterized by a long medical history - "eight years in a wheelchair"
For a long time, the Benz barracks Pascal could only move around in a wheelchair and was busy building muscles.
He is no longer dependent on a wheelchair.
Pascal even regularly travels by train to his girlfriend, whom he met through the RTLZWEI show "Hartz und Herzen".
The Benz barrackler had to put up with a lot before he was finally able to walk again: "I was in a wheelchair for eight years and had to endure fifteen operations - I pulled through it," he summarizes his time in a wheelchair .
The operations dragged on for more than ten years.
"Hartz and warm" in Mannheim: Pascal gets orthoses so that he can walk again
In order to finally be able to walk independently again, Pascal had to wear so-called orthoses on his legs.
“Pascal couldn't run without them.
He would always have caved in," explains mother Beate on the TV show "Hartz and cordially - Benz barracks day after day".
But the orthoses caused Pascal a lot of frustration.
Again and again, the young Benz barrackler had to undergo new therapies - and even spend more than half a year in rehabilitation.
"If it goes wrong, it will go wrong," Pascal kept trying to calm himself down before the interventions.
"Hartz and warm": Pascal with a strong message to wheelchair users - "think positively"
Since Pascal knows what it feels like to be in a wheelchair, he can well understand that some people can lose heart.
However, the social documentary participant appeals to the viewers of "Hartz and cordially - day after day Benz barracks" never to give up and to continue to "think positively".
He doesn't want those affected to lose the will to fight: "If you think negatively, then you don't have the attitude to continue - not the fighting instinct that I had.
I wanted to run!” Pascal continued in the interview.
