The actor and director Hinnerk Schönemann moved from the city to the country a few years ago and hasn’t regretted it yet. He also has to work properly as a farmer there.
Hamburg – The actor Hinnerk Schönemann (48, “Nord bei Nordwest”) does not regret having moved to the country years ago. “We think it’s really good out here – it’s a huge playground. We enjoy our lives,” said Schönemann of the German Press Agency in Hamburg. “At the beginning of the millennium, I suddenly had the feeling that nothing would keep me in the city anymore. I was often out here in Mecklenburg, where my parents own a house. So I said to myself, now I’m going to get something for my family and me here in the village,” said the TV star. He bought a former LPG, gutted the building and is now technically finished.
A few horses also lived on his property – “I make a lot of hay for them,” said Schönemann. The interpersonal contacts on site were also positive. “It’s not like ten people come to visit here every day. But if many think that there is peace and quiet in the country – the opposite is the case. Here you often move outside and are spoken to. You help each other – there’s always something going on with the machines,” Schönemann continues. “Especially here in our village, it’s like a large, relaxed family association. You also leave yourself alone – but you know where to go if you need something.”
Schönemann also shows rural life in the successful ARD crime series “Nord bei Nordwest”, in which he has played a police officer and veterinarian since 2014. He also directed the new episode “On the Run” for the first time. The film was broadcast on Thursday and can still be found in the ARD media library. dpa
