1. Why did the author visit Plauen, Germany?
Plauen, Germany is a small provincial city located halfway between Munich and Berlin. It is a city that is looked down upon because of it's countryside outlook. The author visited this place because even though it was a sleepy backwater city, it had history to it. The events have oddly foreshadowed the rise and fall of great social movements. Slowy, the leading ideologies of modern Europe have passed through Plauen and left their mark.
