Florian Kirner, alias Prinz Chaos II - Be as different as you possibly can!

From May 31, 2012, to June 3, 2012, the Paradise Bird Festival took place at the small castle Weitersroda, near the county town of Hildburghausen. Today, this singer-songwriter gathering is a fixed institution in southern Thuringia. However, this wasn't always the case: From 2008 to 2012, local Nazis attempted to prevent this event. The brown wolves didn't limit themselves to verbal attacks on social media but, as in previous years, they took action again - setting fire to a participating musician's car in the castle courtyard. Subsequently, singer-songwriter Konstantin Wecker called for solidarity with the organizers of the Paradise Bird Festival. Heinz Michael Vilsmeier heeded Konstantin Wecker's appeal and went to Weitersroda to join the Paradise Birds, where he conducted the following interview with Florian Kirner, also known as Prince Chaos II.

The political scientist and religious educator reported from crisis areas in Latin America in the 1980s. He trained as a systems analyst and founded a company in Berlin for the development of industrial control systems and database-based application programs for processing medical patient data. For several years now, Vilsmeier has worked exclusively as a freelance journalist, blogger, and author. As part of his journalistic work, he interviews people from all social spheres. The author was chairman of the party DIE LINKE for three years in the Niederbayern Mitte district and has been active again in the peace movement since leaving the party.
