In April 2023, katharinajej is invited by the cultural association riesa efau to Dresden Friedrichstadt. The district of Friedrichstadt has been foreign to katharinajej until now. That should change. katharinajej wants to get to know the district and its inhabitants. But she is warned from various sides. She is told that there are many neo-Nazis in Friedrichstadt, that they could be aggressive and that she should not put herself in danger.
katharinajej remembers Little Red Riding Hood, who was taught to fear the wolf before she went into the forest. With this fairy tale in mind, she slips into a red coat and packs cups, tea, coffee and cookies into a wicker basket. With a queasy feeling, but above all with a lot of curiosity, she sets off for Friedrichstadt. Despite, or perhaps because of, the many warnings.
In retrospect, katharinajej wrote about the encounters that took place. The diary-like text tells of making contact with strangers and the prejudices that emerged, but above all of getting to know the people of Friedrichstadt.
