continued relevance of the absurd or the word of the cross

has town each have their places, the landmarks such as the mental maps marking their inhabitants, places where people meet, places, familiar to all, even without ever having been there: everyone knows and refers Memorial Church, Dussmann, TV tower and world clock. and Warsaw has its places - you meet for example in front of the palace (as long as it was demolished not by nationally minded revenge-seekers - and you should arrange in advance on which side), before the pko-rotunda (as long as it is still not replaced by another skyscraper mirror-paneled was) or on the palm (if someone finds that applies even in the next year the money for your entertainment). at last there was also a fourth possibility: they met on the cross. the cross stood on the Krakowskie Przedmieście outside the presidential palace, grave wax candles in the middle of the remains of millions and millions that slowly seeped into the joints of the pavement. that was crossing from wood and is completely innocent, is the state in a Christian a cross as an expression of mourning an obvious symbol, and it was indeed the state in mourning after his proposal to a head and had a part in his losing elite - or at least the Polish society was in a state of shock, which was just referred to the constitution as a national mourning. that was crossing was built shortly after the disaster in April of the scouts who were keeping guard outside the presidential palace and the thousands upon thousands of people attended, which is assembled at this place to express their feelings. Gradually, the crowds, the candles and the Pathfinder, but the cross remained. It was white with red bands decorated, and always put someone from candles or flowers at its base. during the summer became the first crossing of the journalists, then the politicians and finally the denkmalschutzbehoerde and the state legal theorists in the view. one could also say it was them an ever-sharper thorn in the eye. a religious symbols in public places an ideologically neutral state? induce changes in the border monument historic old town, for which no permit existed? the weeks could hear their voices more and more that to end the state of emergency and a work of the Cross pleaded. politicians met with Scouts and bishops to seek a decent and acceptable solution. these processes now called a whole Another group of actors on the plan: the defenders of the cross. It was not entirely inaccurate to say that many of them were a bit older already, baskenmuetzen from mohair contributed and heard in their leisure Radio Maryja.
Civil War of the Polish-Poland, which had been previously conducted mainly with headlines and editorials, was now on the road. a first attempt to give the cross home in the nearby St. Anne's Church a worthy and to finally figure out the goddamn public space, failed spectacularly, with a couple together beaten protesters booed and priests without result. the cross remained where it was, and became among the hottest places in the city to place to be: here was always something going on here, there was always something to see, here you had to have been there. his visit is proudly presented another, very typical Polish tourist attraction. one was randomly in the area, looking for all cases we're up to. if you were lucky, was just watching TV that there was a priest one from fair, built a few left activists a cross made of empty beer cans of the brand "lech" or supporters and opponents of a Catholic-verschwoerungstheoretischen culture of memory provided in heated verbal exchanges. often demonstrated opponents and defenders of the Cross at the same time, they demanded either Kaczynski monuments or fountains and held signs in the air, where either "wake poland!" or "crusaders away with!" stood. It was one of the vanities and absurdities, a macabre carnival show run on a warm summer evening.
on 16 september the whole thing was finally over. In a second experiment, this time in spite of all protests with the successful crossing was removed from his place. The news spread around the world: even as TV news reports about it.

what remained in memory, was another absurdity: 600 years after grunwald had the word "crusader" suddenly a completely different meaning than before.
