In 55 Minuten zum Flughafen Leipzig? Das war vielleicht die aufwendigste aber sicher auch seltsamste Recherche 2025. Alles fing vor einem Jahr an, als ich mir spontan den Flughafenbahnhof anschaute. “Moment, hier stimmt doch was nicht”, dachte ich mir. Viel mehr wäre möglich. Also ging es los. Ungewohnte Quellen anzapfen, für mich ungewohntes Mauern einiger Beteiligter, fehlende Unterlagen. Jetzt zu Heiligabend als Geschenk ohne Paywall zu lesen.
