Without electricity and running water, the man who lives in the hut for 32 years

Nothing of this affects me”, he says of Europe's energy crisis sparked by Ukraine's Russian aggression, after it has spent 32 years in the forest near Longcamp, in southwestern Germany near Luxembourg, photographs Telegrafi.

As it says dpaThe cabin lacks electricity or water, but he insists that there is everything he needs.

I don't want anything else”, Sonnemann says, long hair, bearded. “This is the only way I want to live”.

He has temporary household companions who help him from time to time.

They take the water they need to drink from a nearby spring and use the rain for cooking and washing.

And they certainly warm up with wood.

If there's a stove in the room and the thermometer shows 14 degrees, that's enough”, he says.

When it's cold, says Sonnemann, they never heat up the room at 20 or 21 degrees Celsius.

“under no circumstance”, he adds. “This would really be a stupid thing”.

Instead, residents dress thicker in winter.

According to versed writing, Schuenémann traces the wood they need from his areas or buys it, noting that prices are rising.

People can spend less time with less than they think, says Sonnemann, who was born in Bonny City and grew up in Kiln.

Of course, not everyone could live in the forest, he admits Germany does not have enough forests.

But the way most people live in industrialized countries will not be sustainable in the long-term plan, he believes.

There will definitely be a change of thinking”.

Sonemann's life is as unusual as the rare plants he grows on his four-acre soil.

He reaps and sells seeds and now has several hundred species, he says, as he sprays some seeds in a bowl.

His seed trick includes plants of earlier generations.

“also has plants from the time of ancestors who would otherwise have disappeared”, shows Sonnemann, citing a tall and thin purple beans.

According to him, it is especially important to preserve old plants cultivated in these climate times, as they are able to thrive despite the earth's poor quality and in extreme weather conditions.

It also grows more exotic plants.

Meanwhile, people spend part of their time on his farm and help him.

Now we're eight of us”, Sonnemann claims. They also come to leave “the external world”, he says.

We don't live in a particular world here. But the impact of what is happening in the world is now relatively small”.

And some of his assistants have even come to his farm from Mexico or Taiwan.

People talk a lot about what is happening in the world, but at least so far, the farm has been saved by COVID-19.

If I had (the virus), I would have a very easy time”, says Sonnemann, who has only been to the dentist in recent years, but not to any doctor.

He says he's his own healer.

However, the record indicates that sometimes the outside world intervenes.

Sonnemann spent years fighting to prevent the construction of a bridge near his farm.

She now carries traffic that he can hear.

It's quite noisy, but it has no choice “except to reconcile with it”, Sonnemann says, although he calls “the destruction of the landscape” as the very horrible “”.

His closest neighbours are residents of Longcamp in the Bernkastel-Wittlic district, and they are respected for his farm in the forest.

“The work he makes is accepted here”, says local Mayor Horst Gorges, praising Sonnemann's efforts to preserve seeds and plants that could otherwise disappear.

Few in the village, however, really understand how Sonnemann lives so far away.

But he continues to develop his farm and has a second mud house, along with a solar panel installed in a barn to run a washing machine.

He and his farm colleagues do not live only on grass, pumpkins, apples, and invite adults to grow up.

“We also buy rice or five to add to them”, Sonnemann says.

Despite all, he does not see himself “as an abandoned or a solitary person.

I did not live alone and leave the world”. Moreover, he says: “I'm not doing all this alone, just for myself”.
