"Hartz and cordial" - for months there was no other topic for Christine than a move.

Now the family has finally got a chance – which Christine lets slip.

The social documentary about the Benz barracks in Mannheim has made its residents known nationwide.

Millions of viewers tune in regularly to accompany the residents of the socially disadvantaged neighborhood in their daily tasks and hurdles.

In the social hotspot of Mannheim, things don't always go as they should.

One or the other "Hartz und cordial" protagonist had to contend with major problems in the past - including Christine, who lived in the Benz barracks.

"Hartz and warm" in Mannheim: Christine has a mold problem in the apartment

Christine is the mother of an autistic son and has had mold in her four-room apartment for months.

Most recently, Christine even worried about her children's health because the mold had spread more and more in the apartment, as MANNHEIM24 reports.

Now a unique opportunity has opened up for the Hartz IV recipient to finally make her dream of a new apartment possible - but she let it pass.

"I applied.

I got a certificate of eligibility for housing and was then also promised an apartment that would be in Rhineland-Palatinate," reveals Chistine in the new episode "Hartz and cordially" about the housing offer.

Christine missed the unique opportunity.

The reason for this: "I should have called there and I didn't do that, otherwise I would have had an apartment long ago," reveals the Benz barrackswoman in the 65th episode of the social documentary.

The change of heart has a serious background.

The 45-year-old wants to stay close to her ailing mother.

"It's damn hard for me to say: I'm moving to Rhineland-Palatinate now, that I'm further away from my mother.

I know my mother can fall too - what then?

And that gives me a lot of thought," says Christine about the worry of leaving her mother in Mannheim.

Life in the moldy apartment is a real ordeal for the single mother due to her chronic lung disease.

"Hartz and warm": Christine's mother doesn't want to move away - "that totally slows me down"

In a quiet minute, Christine would like to talk to her mother about her moving plans again.

"It would be good if she went along with her, but she doesn't want that.

That totally slows me down, because on the one hand I would have the chance to have an apartment there and on the other hand I think to myself: I want to get out of here, but if I live somewhere else and I don't get to my mother in time, I'll blame myself forever," reveals Christine in the TV show.

So the topic of moving is not out of the world yet and shouldn't exactly get better with the new animal addition to the "Hartz and warm" protagonist.

Financial reasons also speak in favor of a change of scenery: “I have to be outside by winter.

Winter is our downfall.

This is our financial end,” the barrackswoman reveals about the heating costs, which she can no longer bear.
