Night vigil at the Pennbrüdern.

Controversy simple, tough, sandwiches lubricate: night after night, manages Florian Boerner, 26, the misery. The history student jobbt in an emergency shelter for the homeless - not out of charity, but for the money.

 


"Kanak, learn German," lallt through the stuffy room. "Mouth", comes as an answer. Then Fists fly and blood drips on the floor. The police and ambulances must move. On such a thing is Börner Florian, 26, always be taken where he is at his student.


Three hours earlier, against 23:00 clock, moves by Florian grieselnden snow on dirty asphalt. He is on his way to his workplace, which is about 150 meters away from Berlin's central station, the emergency shelter for the homeless of the city of Mission. Today, Florian the night - as a pastor, dishwasher and law enforcement at the same time.

The history student Florian Börner looks homeless. He does not volunteer, not for charity and not because he is such a nice guy is. Florian earned his money thus, seven euros an hour, so he financed his studies. He spoke soberly about his job. "I try to play for peace and order to uphold," he says. Perhaps you may not be Dreaming Weltverbesserer when night after night to take the misery.


"We are looking for drugs, alcohol and weapons"


The homeless are guests here, they get something to eat and must stay. For a year working Florian here by a job he learned through a friend. Around 60 guests sit, lie, sleep in the main room when he comes into it.

A bell schallt. Outside there is Marcel, 20, a red bag in the air holds: "Hey, würd 'include the likes." Florian makes him raise his arms, groping him. "We are looking for drugs, alcohol and weapons," says Florian. "I've ever ne gun found." Marcel Then he knocks on the shoulder and smiles, everything okay.


LIFE ON THE STREET

In Germany there are about 300,000 people without homes, including 22 percent of young people. About 2000 of them either in a home or friends. Two-thirds of all homeless people are dependent on alcohol or drugs. Annual run to the 9000 young people away from home: 70 percent boys, 30 percent girls.

A professional maintains Florian buddy relationship with the guests. And a sound when he speaks about the violent side of his job is talking about guns and syringes, and fights over corpses. It is a Plauderton in which other people-party talks. When his colleagues once found a dead, says Florian, the hearse was only after an hour and a half come. "Then the cleaning lady had just drumrum wipe," he says. Two things says this sound: The job is tough. And I can handle it.

In Schlaufhaus there are six rooms in sixty beds, a little more privacy than the main room in full. Through a closed door sounds loud snoring. Florian pushes the latch, and an odor emanates out as intensely as the noise. He moves quickly to the door.


A cry for help from the sleeping house


A 19-year-old student cares that night in his sleep at home everything done. You entlaust guests will find warm words, if someone just wants to talk. "It's nice because people can help, but it is annoying, because we sometimes insulted or even threatened," she says.

Sometimes, when guests ausrasten and to throw chairs, she was glad that someone like Florian there. "A man with you, is quite safe." Then she says something serious: "Some guests have ahead of us women just less respect, unfortunately."

Florian Marcel concerned nor an empty bed in the sleeping house, soup served in the main house, washes dishes. In between, he rushes to the door and searched guests - two hours Hochbetrieb. Then his cellphone rings, for help from the sleeping house. "There is a small problem," says Florian.

A gray-haired man hums to himself, and sometimes very angry. Florian learns of the Night Watch: "The exodus has been an hour, want to go, he did not, now is rest." Florian asks the man to stand up, first in German, then Russian. Suddenly, the man loudly, Florian das passt gar nicht. "You know exactly what rules apply," he says, only in German, then Russian. The man screams.


Strike Hard belongs to his job


Five minutes it goes back and forth, and finally threatened with Florian House ban. There is silence, the host takes his things and follows Florian into the main house. Does he sometimes hard by? Florian shakes his head: "Everybody has a reason to aufzuregen, but nobody can sleep."

At two clock in the night a dispute escalates. "Kanak", cites a German host another from Poland, again and again. Florian comes too late. The Provoked proposes. From the head of the German blood drips onto the floor, forming patches as large as two-euro pieces.

Ten minutes does it take to two policemen and an ambulance team are there. In between the Kältebus brings new guests, the homeless, he because of the cold from the street collects. Then the phone rings, the police Luckenwalde calling. With them is a man who probably fell asleep on the train, he gives the address as a residential address for the city mission. Florian is the night manager of the emergency, the organizer of the assistance.


The harshest punishment: House ban


The two disputes cocks have now more concerned than the bleeding head and a possible criminal charges. "Are there any prohibition house?" Ask Florian. The says: "You must go now, you know the rules - no violence." The bats fly out.

The host nods, takes his property. Florian wipes the blood. "One must often weigh up here is one accuser, judge and executioner, if someone does not respect the rules," he says. But because he is the man for a really nice guy holds, he convinced his boss later that it is for the guest house just two weeks instead of four, there ban.

Slowly return a quiet, but not for Florian. With a colleague, he shaped potato dumplings for the next day. Then cut, lubricate and prove they represented 100 sandwiches for breakfast, when he was only a few guests must insist. Marcel he pulls the blanket away and threatened with banning house until the rise. Then he pushes the last guests to leave. "Most are pretty nice, only one or two percent of nerves," he says.

Florian is looking forward to the next night use: "It is not always so tumultuous." Sometimes he writes his homework here, three to five clock, when all sleep.
