He is a son of this city. On November 5, 1980 Christoph Metzelder was born in Haltern. That city in North Rhine-Westphalia, which has stood the accident in the French Alps on Tuesday in shock.
16 students and two teachers from the Joseph King school to holders on the lake, had made on the former national player Metzelder in 2000, graduated from high school, lost in the crash of the German Wings Machine on Tuesday their lives. They were on their way back from a student exchange in Barcelona.
Since his career end of 2013 Metzelder coach of U19 is the local football club TuS holders. On Wednesday, the second in the championship came in 2002 in his native city. In memory of the victims of the plane crash he lit a candle in the church at St. Sixtus.
The World: Mr Metzelder, how are you
Christoph Metzelder: I am stunned. I grew up in holders on the lake and went to the Joseph King High School. I live here. In such a small town there are for each inhabitant any cross connections to one of the victims. The result is a close. As you meet such a terrible tragedy unlike a tragedy that happened elsewhere.
The World: You have arrived on Wednesday morning in your hometown. ? Have you had contact with some people there
Metzelder: I’ve been on the phone on Tuesday with some. With my mother, but also with members of TuS holders. But I have followed through the media since Tuesday what was going on in holders. Whether at school, in the marketplace or in the St. Sixtus Church. It’s such a big concern, sympathy and solidarity. It speaks for the city that people in these difficult times closer together so closely.
The World: Bodo Klimpel, the mayor of holders, spoke of the blackest day in the history of the city
Metzelder: I had a doctor’s appointment on Wednesday morning in Münster. When I have my personal data indicated there were at Keyword Location holders on the lake, compassionate responses. The links with the city are there. It is a national tragedy, the largest aviation disaster in the history of our country. It is visible through the students and teachers of the high school in holders on the lake. The city has become a symbol of this disaster. Holders on the lake has lost its innocence. Previously it was a fantastic little town on the edge of the Ruhr. Known for his four soccer players ( Christoph and Malte Metzelder, Benedikt Höwedes and Sergio Pinto, d. Red. ). In the summer of last year, we were still all of us in the arms and have Benedikt Höwedes celebrated as World Champion. . Now there is great sadness here
The World: You mentioned the concern
Metzelder: Yes. I feel like the city is united. I do not feel that here circulate any names of victims and camera crews lay in the neighborhood on the lookout to find personal stories. This is a good sign in a difficult hour.
The World: TuS holders was brought in the past two years, always in touch with you. They have made a lot of publicity for the club in the social networks. What can you do now at this time
Metzelder?: This city is really my home. I have especially felt when I left Germany to play in Spain with Real Madrid. If I’m so far down the road Recklinghäuser long, came up memories from my childhood. Now that is connected to a terrible tragedy. As a club we decided with all the other clubs in holders to cancel the competitive matches this weekend. We want to dedicate the weekend of silence, of grief and sympathy. Of course we are considering discharge a kind charity match also in agreement with the city, the school and the family in the next few weeks. But that’s too early. The first step which must stay calm. I have a feeling that we all once need each other a few days to digest what happened.
