Gudrun’s New Years Eve parties in Bad Kopfschmerzen were legendary. 1987 was especially memorable. In full swing; the postman had already passed out, the vet had a silver edelweiss punched through his ear on the kitchen table and Bernard, the chief of police was dancing with my wife. On the stroke of midnight a salvo of shotguns and fireworks struck up drowned out by a wailing siren.
The old townhall was on fire burning strongly. Unfortunately the volunteer firemen, Gudrun and all, were unfit for purpose and could only stand and watch as the flames illuminated the freezing night sky.
