Hallo HDisten. Ich bin in einem Sanierungsgebiet aufgewachsen, Kaiserzeit-Mietskasernen, die zu Hauf mit dem Seilbagger nebst Birne niedergemacht oder wenigstens deren Hinterhofblöcke rausgenommen wurden. Auch rings um unsere Grundschule. Das war für uns Buben natürlich die Show. Von daher sehe ich sowas immer noch sehr gerne. Das Durchfedern und Zittern des Auslegers, das Zielen und das Geräusch. Geil.
