Christian Lautner met with Germany's best-known human rights advocate and survival experts to interview.
The broadcasting studio in the Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt on the first Sunday of November is filled with life. Around 700 people have gathered for vision festival to be captivated by the adventurous expeditions of the speakers. Survival training in the jungle, searching for food and the creative use of predators - the slide show festival leaves nothing to be desired.
highlight of the evening was the presentation "jungle adventure" by Rüdiger Nehberg. Images and reports show a cross section through its night life that fascinates me personally for months. My curiosity was satisfied by his books, films and articles, and my thirst for knowledge will be this evening Eldorado.
all started, I wanted to learn how I humanely move in nature and be respectful of plants and animals. So I contacted via the website Nehberg his partner Annette Weber. They told me of a wilderness training, offered by a survival school in the Black Forest - a personal recommendation by Rüdiger Nehberg. I decided to spend wildly, with expert trainers and other participants, three days in the open. Nature was kind to me and for a moment I felt a real adventurer.
Rüdiger Nehberg is activist for human rights , confectioner and survivor in one person. Fascinated with so much commitment, I was a supporting member in Nehberg human rights group TARGET, and remained in contact with Annette Weber continued. One day now the opportunity presented itself, Ruediger Nehberg to know actually. Up with the idea for an interview for FACES was born. The tickets I had bought months earlier and now it has finally come.
I am accompanied by my colleague Klaus-Hickmann Rother, of Aegis Media, and Alexander Groth, coach of the CARAT ACADEMY. We take Rüdiger Nehberg during the technical preparations for his presentation. After a short notice I am looking for a place and I'm curious what Nehberg will tell me after the talk.
Nehberg lecture is an explosion of fascinating pictures and adventure stories. His time with the Yanomami, a Brazilian Indian tribe is well documented how the secret filming in gold miners. He passed himself off with the documentary filmmaker Wolfgang Brög as prospectors and filmed with a hidden camera. For 65 000 armed prospectors invaded the territory of the Indians and threatened their existence. They cleared forests and conquered the country can claim they destroyed the nature and left debris and mud, then they moved on to the next gold-seekers up camp.
The film was sent around the world called "Gold Rush in the Amazon" (ZDF, report) from Greenpeace to the transmitter and the crimes became public.
Nehberg also supports the people of the Waiapí Indians, also Brazil's indigenous people, and built there already clinics. In return, they showed him edible plants and medicinal herbs, and prepared him for his next adventure before - exposed in the jungle without equipment.
too daring actions such Nehberg rappelling from a helicopter in the Brazilian jungle are shown. With camera equipment and a loincloth, but excluding inventories, knives and navigation system, he suggested for weeks through the jungle until he finally arrived in civilization.
Nehberg before the end is his human rights group TARGET, both for Indians in South American rain forest, when committed against female genital mutilation. Its conferences and the caravans of the desert Hope already achieved great successes, further actions are planned. Of these Nehberg reported on 27.11.2006 on the show Johannes B. Kerner.

meet in a separate room we Rüdiger Nehberg on which we now have to answer questions.
CL: Is there something in your life that you regret? RN: Yes, I've started not before with all the things. I was blocked by my pastry shop in Hamburg too much and someday I could be rid of it. But otherwise I have no regrets.
CL: Who or what do you admire?
RN: People like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Gorbachev, who have somehow moved something huge, although they determines would not have expected.
CL: Is there an adventurer, which you nacheiferst?
RN: No, I never had. I've always lived my own ideas.
CL: What do you like adventure do not like?
RN: Now it is mainly only to still achieve the objective that is in Mecca officially declared genital mutilation is a sin. That's all for my next adventure, but then I think. I have no time for anything else in the moment.
CL: How do you deal with enemies?
RN: The I smile, which is supposedly the best way the enemies will not show. If there are opponents who makes a reasoned argument against I have then it may be that I change my views. But if they are only opponents of fanaticism and envy, I have no time for me dealing with them. I just steal my remaining life time. At 71 you have to deal with it very economical.
CL: How can strengthen a company resulting from difficulties?
RN: I would drum all the employees together and see what each of ideas, bringing the company back ahead. No vision is bold to. One must remember that all of man-made initially created in the mind of a single person. It was then understood to reach the right strategy, patience and happiness the goal. Each party, religion, every city is so developed. There is a book titled "The Collapse", which is worth reading. It is a world-seller from the U.S. and talks about the companies and people at some point either a mistake or have done something right and then perished, or are just expanding. Maybe you can learn there as well suggestions.
AG: You've accomplished an awful lot. Not only do you do it yourself, but you also have other motivated to do extraordinary things. Is there a recommendation?
RN: Yes, if you have some people and can not hang out and order are the boss, but that makes them partners and that their success is also Success. As in my case with my partner Annette Weber with the people with whom I was with the Indians. We were always partners. I was at best primus inter pares, because I had the idea. I think if you're involved people, they are more motivated than when they are forced. Coercion and poor working conditions and human-killing moments for a business. Yesterday I was on a similar slide Festival as here, there were around many volunteers, young people with red jackets, who were thrilled to get a penny for the cause. They do it to dip into the atmosphere of traveling to get to know strangers to themselves to find motivation. I think that's great. Paid bring the ambition often do not. As will be looked at the clock and calculates the time left until closing time.
KH: Have you ever thought about your death?
RN: Ongoing! Because he always comes closer.
KH: And where would you put in this case to rest?
RN: If it is painful, I will kill myself. Whether I will do, I do not know. I have prepared for any event. If I choose not, I have two places in the world I tell but not where I would retreat to nature. Somewhere in Africa or in the jungle, where I have my secret hideaways and will see the end of equanimity. At the moment, but I am so full of plans that I still do not have time to let me now recycle from nature. Mathematically, I'm soon to it. When I was younger, I always thought: "Oh God! What must be that if you're 70 or 80? If we then only to the death? "Now it's time. But I take it calmly, because it caught everyone, whether animal or plant. Now I'm just it.
KH: The calm one, right?
RN: Yes, very calm and that no one of them is spared. Neither do you.
you sit opposite Rüdiger Nehberg, you feel literally his boundless energy and power that is unprecedented for a 71 year old survivor of many robberies has and despite own pastry shop and family regularly traveled the world.
give a farewell we Rüdiger Nehberg Schwedenbitter a bottle along the way,
so that he can master his next adventure play. Inspired and grateful to have met these fascinating people, I make my way home to get me back on the adventure of "office" to prepare.
