Anyone who looks at Germany’s development since the mid-1990s sees not a linear continuation, but a clear acceleration—especially since 2015. The debate about it is emotionally charged. But beyond political buzzwords, it is worth Read more

Ibbenbüren Blown Up: 840 Megawatts Gone – and Germany Applauds
On February 22, 2026, it exploded in Ibbenbüren, North Rhine-Westphalia. 600 kilograms of explosives. A 275-meter-tall smokestack. And with it: 840 megawatts of secured capacity. The former hard coal power plant is history. What reliably supplied electricity for decades – dispatchable, predictable, stable – was celebrated as a “milestone of the energy transition.” A milestone. Toward the abyss. 840 megawatts – simply wiped out. The hard coal power plant Read more

Right of residence: Six months of absence – no problem

Marlas Army
Texte. Stim. Freiheit.
Marlas Army is a publishing project by Marla Svenja Liebich This is where texts, chronicles, and personal observations from exile are created— political, historical, and social. The ongoing Exile Chronicle connects contemporary history with the present and documents how language, power, and reality change.
At the same time, it serves Marlas Army beyond the digital space: many readers pick up impulses, ideas, and attitudes from the texts and independently put them into practice in projects, discussions, and everyday decisions. In this way, the project also takes shape in real life—decentralized, voluntary, and beyond formal structures.
