Summit Conference in the Blackforest cabin
A small wooden cabin in Germany's blackforest, hunting horn blowers playing at the entrance,
it's pouring rain. Seven Mercedes S-Class vehicles slightly drive on sandy roads.
High-level visitors in midst of the blackforest. Ex-President Bill Clinton (66, light colored suit
over a knit pullover) was invited by his friend, Entrepreneur Karlheinz Kögel (66, MEDIA CONTROL,
Ltur founder), on Sunday for the third time for a cabin night in Germany.
Kögel said: "Clinton loves the blackforest".
And Clinton especially loves that specific blackforest cabin - it's owned by the city of Baden-Baden.
Stars of the economy, media and politics visited the place as well - many of them with a special
relationship to the United States.
Ex-Defense minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (41) with his with Stephanie (36) flying to Germany
to participate the meeting in that night.
Daimler (Mercedes) CEO Dieter Zetsche (61, lived for 6 years in the US) talked to Clinton while
having marinated pot roast, asparaguses, and Riesling (of Guenther Jauch's vineyard). Discussing
topics like the economy and cars.
Entertainer Thomas Gottschalk (63) headed to the blackforest after being in London for the Champions
League finals. And Guenther Oettinger (59), Ex-PM and EU-Energycommissionar.
Clinton, a man, who saw many facettes of today's world, spoke very impressive about humanity.
("We live in a single world, depending on each other and really have responsibility.") and spoke
very affectionate about his wife, Hillary.
Bill: "She would be a perfect President for America, but it is a really tough job. And she is working
for 20 years very tough in this business.
The Ex-President praised Germany in his speech, for mastering the financial crisis exceedingly well.
But sent a reminder to help the Greeks.
Another special thing on the night: Even though many famous people attended, the phones didn't ring
even once, since the blackforest cabin is located in a dead zone for mobile frequencies.
