“Curry Paule” owner Andreas Kämpf (57) looks worried at his mother Renate (82) as she torments herself on her crutch in the district courtroom. “Nothing is the same for her anymore,” he says.
The start of the process against the man who, from one hour to the next, almost made her, the once so lively, agile woman, almost a nursing case: Tarek H. (26), mini-jobber from Köpenick.
It was Sunday, January 24, 2021, around 1 p.m. Renate Kämpf and her partner Wolfgang F. (76) were standing at the traffic light on the corner of Silbersteinstrasse and Hermannstrasse when a black Audi A6 approached.
Behind the wheel: the accused. Without a driver’s license. Under the influence of cannabis. Chased by the police.
He didn’t get the curve, crashed into a traffic light pole. Renate Kämpf: “I felt a huge hit from behind. lay there My legs got caught under the wheel. Smashed.”
Until the beginning of March, Renate Kämpf was in the clinic and had to be operated on several times. Then sat in a wheelchair. Her son: “We used to do so much together…”
She adds: “Now I can hardly take a few steps on the street. And only with help.” In addition, the many painkillers and heart pills: “My life is ruined.”
The defendant: “I didn’t want that. I hope you forgive me.” The pensioner shakes her head: “There are things that cannot be forgiven. You can’t make amends for that either.”
